I think there are a few times in life when you meet people that you know are just going to be a part of it forever…no matter how far away they move or how long it’s been since you’ve seen them…Bradford is one of those people for us! He is Ryan’s best friend from high school and since I started dating Ryan in 11th grade, I’ve gotten to see him grow up..and it was such a huge honor for me to get to photograph his wedding day! This wedding is so dear to my heart and it was such a perfect way to end the year!
Bradford moved to North Carolina after college to pursue his passion for leading worship at a church near Raleigh and it was a mutual friend there that first set him up with Kalie…it’s so easy to see why Bradford fell in love with her! Kalie is so sweet, fun and absolutely gorgeous…you’ll see what I mean as you scroll through the images…she was the most stunning bride! They chose to celebrate at the beautiful Merrimon-Wynne House and I couldn’t have dreamt up a more perfect southern wedding…From the beautiful flowers, to the song Bradford sang to Kalie as a surprise during their ceremony, to all the love and joy that overflowed on their day..this one is one I’ll never forget! I hope you enjoy my favorites!
Bradford and Kalie, thank you so much again for having me be a part of such a special day in your lives! Also huge thanks to Brittany for being my amazing second shooter and Stephanie of Viva L’Event for putting together such gorgeous celebration!
