Historic Wedding Venue | The Cotton Room

Siera & Michael

Dreamy. The Cotton Room in Durham, NC is a historic textile factory wedding venue and it is PERFECTION. Historic venues can evoke a sense of industrial chic and nostalgia. These venues often feature exposed brick walls, high ceilings, and large windows that flood the space with natural light. The Cotton Room does not fall short on any of these features.

Being surrounded by the history and stories of the factory create a sense of awe and reverence for the past, while also celebrating the present and future of your love story. The unique atmosphere of the textile factory creates a sense of warmth, intimacy, and creativity that made Siera and Michael’s wedding feel truly unique and special.

Fancy This Photography is always down for rich and vibrant history, while also celebrating the start of a new chapter in your life.

Bride + Her girls

Siera is stunning. Period. The classic look she and Stolochi Hair & Makeup decided on for the day was simply breath taking. Flawless if you ask me.

Siera and her girls had such a fun vibe. Friendships on the day of your wedding are incredibly meaningful and special. A time when you're surrounded by the people who love and support you, and who have played an important role in your life leading up to your big day. You could feel the joy in all of these friendships.

The dress gets a moment

I am telling you CLASSIC and STUNNING. This dress from Bridal World in Burlington, NC was absolutely everything and more.

The Groom + His Guys

We love the guys too! Capturing these close friendships is one of the most special parts of any wedding day. Hearing the casual snippets of advice and calming of nerves the groomsmen pass along to the groom is the sweetest thing. And don’t they look handsome in their suits from Bernard’s Formalwear
