Yesterday, I was incredibly fortunate to be a part of Lisa & Mike’s wedding at Fearrington. Mike & Lisa are so lucky to be surrounded by the most wonderful family & friends who treated me with incredible kindness and warmth.
As everyone knows, we had a huge storm that came through the Raleigh-Durham area yesterday afternoon, and around 4pm, the sky grew very dark, the thunder started and soon the rain came. While their wedding wasn’t set to start until 5:30, we all just hoped it would blow through quickly (as we know these storms often do). I was with Mike and the groomsman for a while and the storm hit hard and I needed to get back to Lisa – unfortunately for me, I didn’t have an umbrella. So I borrowed a bag from a groomsman’s pair of shoes to put my camera in and ran back to Lisa’s room (note: this is when the worst of the storm was and I guess I’ve never really been outside during lots of thunder & lightning – I have NEVER run so fast in my life and actually screamed once when it seemed as though the ground was struck nearby).
I arrived at Lisa’s room pretty soaked, borrowed Lisa’s hairdryer at her insistence (as she’s the sweetest thing ever) and continued on. Fortunately the rain stopped, and we managed to have a GORGEOUS outdoor ceremony in the exact place Lisa & Mike wanted. We managed to get all the outdoor photographs (even the ones with the cows 
) before the next wave of storms came through.
This was when Lisa was waiting all alone in the Sunroom. It was quiet, peaceful and beautiful…
Right when Lisa saw her dad for the first time…it was a moment I’ll probably never forget…
This bridal party was a BLAST! They had tons of ideas and very much wanted to do a “fun” pose which of course I was more than happy to oblige…
The very happy new couple…
The barn was awash in gorgeous white lights…
And last, but not least…the gorgeous details…
Lisa & Mike, I cannot thank you enough again for letting me be a part of such an incredible day….all my best!
