winmock nc wedding photographer – hallie & cullen

When I’m looking back on the photos and smiling while I’m editing, I know how lucky I am to do what I do for a living. Hallie & Cullen’s wedding was such an occasion: a fabulous autumn day at the Winmock at Kinderton with truly special people.

I could spend hours gushing about this couple, who are so obviously head over heels in love with each other, the amazing venue, the beautiful weather, the fabulous reception, but I’d rather let the photos speak for themselves.

Here are my picks of the pics from their day:
