Sydney and Fletcher Raleigh, NC Film Wedding

I wish you could just hang out with this couple. They are so incredibly like-able and easy to be with – it makes perfect sense that a rainy wedding day wouldn’t shake their attitude one little bit.

When I arrived, Sydney was so calm and joyful. As she was getting ready, the rain was pouring, but her heart was beaming. She was so happy to be marrying Fletcher! With the help of their amazing planners, we re-wrote the entire plan and decided to to portraits under their beautiful clear tent. While it added some driving time, cut down on photo time, and we had to do all of their photos with the band practicing in the background (just imagine me yelling as loudly as I can at a group of groomsmen ready to party – ha!)… it turned out PERFECT. I’m so grateful. The light, the tulips above them, and even the shortened timeline all allowed for photos that make my heart so happy.

The wedding ceremony was so sweet and sacred, as everyone gathered to celebrate in the sweetest chapel. Then… they partied! And just as I thought at the rehearsal dinner, this family knows how to throw a party. Celebrating Sydney and Fletcher came naturally to everyone there – it was so fun to watch every single age jump up on the dance floor and have a good time.

Sydney and Fletcher, you two are so incredibly special. There’s something about your relationship that is calm, easygoing, fun-loving, and contagious. I have loved the privilege of working with the two of you! And of course, I’ll always remember your cat!
