Weymouth Center Weddings NC | Emily & Adam

Sometimes a couple leaves a big impression on you. The way they are with one another, and the way they treat people around them…you can just tell that they are soulmates, and it’s a joy to be near them! Emily and Adam are like this. I first had the pleasure of working with them back in February, during their engagement session. These two have known each other since they were kids, and were even high school sweethearts! Life took them in different directions for a decade when Adam joined the military and Emily began her studies to become a vet. Their story resonated a lot with me (my husband is in the military), and I knew immediately that their big day would be extra special. I was so delighted that they asked me to be their wedding photographer!
The ceremony and reception took place at the Weymouth Center in Southern Pines. I love this venue’s beautifully-tended historic gardens. So perfect for an elegant spring wedding! The azaleas were in bloom, and coordinated perfectly with the delicate pink hues in Emily’s bouquets and flower arrangements. Her gown felt modern, but with a big dose of Old Hollywood glamour. Stunning! I have to mention specifically what a pleasure it was to collaborate with this bride. She checked in with me several times during the planning process, just to get my opinion on what would look best for her photos. She was so organized and responsive! I’ve noticed that when a bride is on top of things during the planning, she’s much more likely to be able to ‘let go’, relax and enjoy everything on her day…which is exactly what Emily did!
Watching these two behind my lens, as they joined their lives in front of loving family and friends, is something I’ll never forget. I left the reception with a full heart and a big smile on my face. Congratulations, Emily and Adam!

I hope you enjoy this selection of their spring garden wedding photos!

The adorable Lily (the yellow lab mix) and Nibbler (the sweet love-bug Rottweiler) made an appearance for a few photos! Emily told me that her pets are her babies. I get it! My Golden Retriever Ronon is my baby!

Thanks Amy Campbell for shooting their wedding with me. You were wonderful!
