Courtney & Josh’s Cloth Mill Wedding in Hillsborough, NC
“When we realized it would be raining on our wedding day, my main concern was what did that mean for our pictures?! But with Samantha behind the camera, I later realized I had nothing to worry about! With her incredible talent, what might have seemed like an unfortunate forecast actually became the backdrop to magical pictures. In fact, everyone who sees our pictures can't believe how gorgeous they are! When looking for a photographer, I wanted someone who could capture more of the natural and candid moments, and Samantha did a stellar job at that. But the magic of Fancy This doesn't stop there. With Nikki at the helm, they also have just about the best customer service you can imagine! In a hectic wedding planning season, her warmth and enthusiasm were such a gift. Not to mention her thoughtfulness at every turn! I would wholeheartedly recommend Fancy This Photography. They not only capture amazing images, but they're an absolute joy to work with in the process!”— Courtney, the Bride
This couple has been such a joy to work with. From the very beginning, Courtney had my heart. Her kindness and generosity shown thrown with every conversation. Courtney and Josh chose to marry one another at one of the prettiest venues in Hillsborough, NC — The Cloth Mill. With its urban charm, twinkly lights, and amazing window light—this was the perfect venue for this duo.
It was a charming wedding that took place the weekend right after Thanksgiving. It ended up being a rainy day, but, the happiness of the two together made that little fact unnoticeable. The sweetest ceremony we ever did see. In the middle of their ceremony the Pastor had asked for Courtney and Josh’s closest friends (there were 19 in total) to stand and commit themselves to the couple and to be with them throughout their marriage. These 19 people stood and responded to a vow that the officiant read by saying “we do.” It was the sweetest thing to witness, and even better to photograph.
There were so many emotions bursting through the day. After toasts, the guests watched the kindest video of Courtney’s belated father. It’s the sweet gestures that happen during this moment that pull at my heart strings. The night continued with dancing, an impromptu portrait session outside in the rain (LOVE these images!), and guests indulging in ice cream served by Mama Birds!
It’s not everyday that you meet such kind and genuine people like these two. It was an honor to serve them and be a part of such a fantastic celebration.
Congratulations, Courtney and Josh! Much love to you both!
Special thanks to all vendors involved!
