There is something so special about photographing such a precious moment between two people, and with their Durham courthouse wedding, Andrea and Patrick's wedding was special indeed! They were so very relaxed and happy after their intimate ceremony, attended by two loved ones. Over the course of two hours, I had the privilege of watching them exchange vows and rings as well as go on a little photography adventure around the American Tobacco Campus.
It’s so rare that, as a wedding photographer, I get to spend so much time with a couple capturing images that will last a lifetime. The location was special to them because it’s were they had their first date! It was so cute watching them walk hand in hand and listening to them talk about how they were almost recreating that first date together. I wish these two wonderful people nothing but love and happiness in the years to come!
XO,
Samantha
