market hall raleigh wedding photography – beth & matt

Just a quick post before I head out to celebrate my birthday with the family – yay BEER & CAKE! Beth & Matt’s downtown Raleigh wedding at Market Hall was my last of the 2016 season and it was a great way to close out the year. Such a lovely couple whose love for each other was evident throughout the day. Combine that with a loving group of family and friends, the fun of shooting in a busy downtown Raleigh while a demonstration was going on, a great venue and awesome vendors, and photo opportunities are bound to be there for taking.

Here are just a few of my picks of the pics:
