Back in May, I had the pleasure of documenting Kelly and Cameron’s beautiful wedding at the fantastic Barclay Villa in Angier, NC. As a Raleigh wedding photographer, it’s always great to shoot at new venues and I have to say Barclay Villa really offers so much potential for great pictures, I could probably spend a week there and still find something new to photograph.

As always, I want to say a special thank you to everyone who helped make the day so special. Kimberly at Weddings by the Vine kept us all on schedule and made sure no detail was left by the wayside. My assistant on the day, Erin Costa, for being such a great sport and supplying great pictures as well as fab jokes. The staff at BV for being so accommodating and everyone else mentioned above – THANKS!

Finally, a super huge thank you to Kelly and Cameron for letting me do my thing both on their wedding day and on their engagement shoot back in November. It was such an honour to be with you both and share with you on your big day. I wish you both all the best for a long and happy future together.
