Sometimes, you meet a couple that you just click with. From the very first email, getting to know these two has been like a breath of fresh air. I work with a lot of couples and each of them are so unique and I genuinely do love working with every single one, but I really don't think that I'll ever forget Sara and Michael's wedding (er, weddings, lol).


After pivoting from their original plan, still getting married (which will always be one of my favorite stories, EVER), being able to finally celebrate these two was everything I thought it would be and more. I loved being back in Chapel Hill at the Barn at Valhalla. It is seriously such an incredibly beautiful venue. You can tell that Sara and Michael put a lot of work into every little detail of their wedding. Almost all of them really reflected who they are. I also really, REALLY loved that they were able to incorporate their pup, Coach, into their wedding photos. He is the best boy ever and loves his moment in the spotlight.


Being able to finally celebrate with Sara and Michael and all of their loved ones was such a long time coming and I am so thrilled for them to have been able to do it on their one year wedding anniversary!! I have loved working with them over the last two-ish years. Thank you both for trusting me with your day!!


Enjoy their beautiful day as much as I did!
