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!
