Kristen & Joey

and their summer soiree wedding at The Bradford in New Hill, NC

“I am seriously speechless. I have all the feelings and still have to take a longer look at each photo. You could not have captured our day any better.

You are the best!!! ”

— Kristen, the Bride

Kristen and Joey hold a special place in my heart. Their original wedding date was postponed twice due to the pandemic. This past July, they finally had the chance to say “I Do” and let me tell you, it was the absolute sweetest thing to witness.

They were surrounded by friends and family on a summer day at The Bradford, located in New Hill, NC (right outside of Raleigh). I’ve never seen a ceremony on the courtyard of the Bradford, and theirs was the first. The beautiful door that typically serves as an entrance to the house was actually a beautiful backdrop for their ceremony. This was quaint and gave such a home like feeling to the wedding.

Later, we basked in the sun rays together for their family formals, bridal party images, and photos of them two together. These are some of my favorite images to date because you can just feel the love between Kristen and Joey. The way Joey looks at Kristen is contagious. How lucky are we to see a love like this?

The reception was a full on blast as Joe with Bunn DJ Company was the DJ. Kristen later changed into a reception JUMPSUIT! And this, my friends, are what dreams are made of. It was a night of great dancing and company.

Special thanks to all of their vendors!

Bright florals, citrus details, and colorful prints make this the perfect inspiration for a summery fete. The long sleeve lace gown is everything you could want in a wedding dress: elegant, sophisticated, yet sexy. And with fun details like a sangria bar, you can bet your guests will be in love too!

This session took place in the beautiful countryside of New Hill, NC, at a ravishing and sweet venue named The Bradford. Tucked away following a serene little driveway rests this 2 story house that caters to all things wedding and events. It was a pleasure to photograph in the space, but more so a treat to be able to collaborate with the owners of the house. We loved styling and staging this little beauty and really made it something extra spectacular. For more images, please visit our feature on Glamour and Grace.
