The Laurelbrook Wedding
Hannah and Kari’s stunning wedding day at The LaurelBrook was perfect. Their wedding venue was just in the heart of Raleigh, North Carolina, and even though it was December it was a hot day. 65 degrees in December. Could you imagine? We had the most beautiful light thanks to the clouds overhead.
Hannah and Kari meet on a dating app and started dating long distance for the first nine months. Covid hit and they decided to quarentine together and their love grew more and more each day. Kari proposed to hannah in March 2021 on the beach at sunset. Hannah proposed to Kari two weeks later after a day of special notes and capped off with a hike by Lake Crabtree.
They both love to try new restaurants, workout, take naps, meal prep, be with family, watch sporting events, and basically do all aspects of life together.
GETTING READY AT HAMPTON INN & SUITES RALEIGH MIDTOWN IN RALEIGH, NC …
FIRST LOOK OUTSIDE THE HOTEL
Hannah and Kari shared a romantic first look by the beautiful all brick fireplace outside the Hampton Inn hotel. It was sweet and intimate and something I highly recommend every couple adds to their wedding day.
WEDDING PARTY PHOTOS AT MORDECAI HISTORICAL PARK
We then traveled to Mordecai Historic Park, with their bridal party by their side, and I captured their love with portraits before heading to the Laurelbrook wedding venue for the ceremony.
FIRST LOOK WITH DADS
Before the ceremony started both Hannah and Kari wanted to do another first look with their dads. Nothing like sharing this experience with your father.
