Endless congratulations to Ali and Trent on their wedding day – and more importantly, on their new marriage! Ali and Trent were married at the Merrimon Wynne House in downtown Raleigh this summer on a beautiful, warm day as their loved ones gathered from near and far to celebrate these two! Celebrating Ali and Trent is easy – they are such a fun, lovable, laid-back couple, and you can tell just how loved they are by the sheer excitement and happiness that overflowed on their wedding day. I loved getting to know these two and their wonderful family and friends, and it was an honor to be a part of their wedding and to bring it all to life for them!

From the incredibly sentimental moments throughout the day (getting ready with the girls, Ali’s first look with her precious dad, the ceremony, the first dances, and the toasts!) to having their sweet pup Tank there to the stunning color palette (dusty blue, navy, blush, and rose gold perfection!) to the beautiful umbrellas on the lawn to their uber fun wedding party to their ice cream truck… it was the most magical, fun day for a truly remarkable, sweet couple!

Thank you so much for entrusting your wedding day to me, Ali and Trent! I loved getting to know you two so much, and wishing y’all a lifetime of love, laughter, and joy!! A million congratulations to the wonderful newlyweds.

As always, it takes a village to bring such a seamless, stunning, joyful wedding day to life, and I’m so grateful for the opportunity to work alongside some of my very favorite industry partners!
