A few weeks back, I had the pleasure of being the Chapel Hill wedding photographer at Alexandra and John’s wedding at the University United Methodist Church and The Carolina Club in downtown Chapel Hill, NC. I always love shooting in new venues and both the UUMC and Carolina Club are fantastic places to photograph in with great architecture and a lot of interesting features to incorporate into the photography. After the ceremony, we headed out to the UNC Chapel Hill campus for a few pictures before decamping to The Carolina Club for the reception where Joe Bunn of Bunn DJ Company span the tunes.
These are just a few of my faves from Alexandra and John’s day. Congrats guys!
