Sherry & Cristina

Married at the Power House in Rocky Mount, NC

Sherry and Cristina had a love like none other. They had met each other around 10 years ago, and have been together ever since. Local to the Rocky Mount area, they wanted to have their ceremony close to their roots. They chose the beautiful venue, The Power House, which is nestled right in the heart of Rocky Mount, NC. The day was as beautiful as the night. For the first part of the day I was with Cristina and her mother getting ready. The light from the suite was gorgeous and enveloped Cristina just perfectly. Right after, I met Sherry with all of the bridesmaids and they toasted for a beautiful evening to come.

My favorite part of their day was their first touch. They wanted to keep their wedding traditional in the sense that they would see each other for the first time down the aisle. They decided to do a first touch, which just so happened right at golden hour. Talk to me about some gorgeous sun rays.

Their ceremony happened just as the sun set. It was a site to see with those beautiful full length windows and the dusty shades of blue come through them. The scene was surreal, with beautiful twinkle lights that hung directly over the guests. After the ceremony, both ladies shared in a cake cutting, and guests left with to-go cupcakes (covid style!).

Once this sort of “cocktail” hour was finished, Sherry, Cristina and I headed outside for some night time shots. When Sherry & Cristina talked about their wedding images, they made it clear that they were getting married on a full moon and that they wanted images at night with the moon. This was very sentimental to me, as I know and appreciate the sign of the new/full moon; in its simplest form, it means the start of new beginnings. What better way to show this than by getting married during it?!

Their night ended with drinks and food with their dearest close friends and family at TCB, right down the street from the Power House.

Special thanks to all of the vendors involved!

Peyton & Lee's Rose Hill Wedding in Nashville, NC

Peyton & Lee’s Rose Hill Wedding

“Nikki is a fabulous photographer! She was professional and easy to get in touch with before my wedding, and on top of that she was incredibly fun to work with. All of her shots were great, but my favorites were from the reception--she and Eden captured such wonderful photos of all the dancing that looking at the photos is almost like reliving the experience. I would definitely recommend Nikki to a friend; if you choose her to photograph your wedding, you won't regret it!” — Peyton, the Bride

My heart swells a bit when I think about Peyton and Lee. From the very beginning they have just been the kindest of people to get to know. They planned their wedding from afar in Virginia, and married back home in Nashville, NC this past November. It was so nice to meet them for the first time (ironically, it was at their wedding!). Their happiness was so contagious, and I was so eager to serve them on their favorite day to date.

The married in Rocky Mount, NC at Peyton’s hometown church, First Presbyterian. It was gorgeous all in its own. My favorite part of their ceremony was when all of their guests (140 of them) sang hymnals during. Traditional and elegant, their wedding was one of the sweetest ones to date.

Although it rained on their wedding day, it never put a damper on anyone’s spirits. Peyton and Lee were just so happy to be with one another, and I enjoyed having a front row seat to it. Their bridal party images were taken on the front porch of Rose Hill, and afterwards we took them to the gazebo overlooking the pond out back. Rain was not going to dampen these two! To be honest, it was romantic to watch.

Rose Hill is a gorgeous venue in and of itself—it outdid itself with the most precious of florals added by Meristem Floral. Meristem Floral created this masterpiece of a work that went right over their cake table! I couldnt get over its beauty. For their cake cutting, they cut the cake with a one of a kind sword! Seriously, it was so fun to watch!

My favorite part of their day had to have been the dancing. The dance floor kept going all night while the band played. It was fun to see all of their friends on the dance floor, and even family members to let loose. They were a great crowd, and I am thankful that I had this night to be a part of. At the end of the night, Peyton and Lee exited through sparklers—and jumped into their car that was full of balloons that their friends had surprised them with. This was a first, and it was super cute to see!

Congratulations, Peyton and Lee! I am so thankful for your kindness towards me, and trust in photographing your wedding.

Special thanks to all of the vendors who made their day extra great!
