Timeless Romance at the Carolina Inn: Camryn & Christopher’s Wedding Day
Camryn and Christopher’s wedding at the Carolina Inn in Chapel Hill, NC, was nothing short of magical. Their love story began as high school sweethearts and grew into something timeless, with nearly seven years of cherished memories together. When Camryn first reached out to us, she described their relationship as "classic young lovers," and their wedding day reflected that beautifully—full of elegance, meaningful details, and heartfelt moments.
From the excitement of getting ready to the laughter-filled moments with their loved ones, Camryn and Christopher’s day was a perfect blend of romance and celebration. Surrounded by the Carolina Inn’s historic charm, their wedding unfolded like a storybook come to life.
The Morning Glow: Pre-Ceremony Elegance
The day began with Camryn preparing in one of the Carolina Inn’s stunning suites, where the soft morning light brought her wedding details to life. Courtney, one of Fancy This Photography’s talented photographers, has a remarkable ability to capture these quiet, meaningful moments with precision and artistry. From the delicate flat-lay of Camryn’s bridal accessories—her sparkling tiara, custom invitation suite, and perfume—to the hanging shot of her off-the-shoulder gown framed perfectly in the window, each detail was thoughtfully documented.
One of the sweetest moments from the morning was Camryn’s mother helping her into her gown. Against the backdrop of floral wallpaper and the Carolina Inn’s iconic black-and-white tiled floors, the images of their shared smiles and laughter radiated warmth and connection. Moments like these, where the love between family members shines, are what make Courtney’s work stand out—she finds beauty in the quiet, intimate moments.
As Camryn finished getting ready, she paused to adjust her earrings in the soft morning light. The serene expression on her face, paired with the glow from the window, captured the anticipation and excitement of the day ahead. These quiet reflections, framed with Courtney’s keen eye for light and composition, are the moments that set our photography apart.
