What a gorgeous day for an Umstead Hotel Wedding! Well, we did get a random rainstorm right in the middle of the day but honestly, it ended up being perfect timing. Just after Kris & Victoria’s beyond beautiful outdoor ceremony in the courtyard of the Umstead Hotel, the rain showed up. Guests were handed clear umbrellas and everyone headed for cover. Just thirty minutes before, the sun was shining brightly, so we’re super thankful they kept calm and kept their plan to be married outside. It was honestly so pretty!

We were lucky after the rain stopped as well, and ventured back outside for some romantic one-on-one photos. These two are the cutest and were both happy to get some quiet time away from the busyness of the day. We loved how they incorporated so many fun details in to their wedding from champagne glass guest seating, Victoria’s amazing change into her reception dress, late night sliders plus coke & fry trays, a confetti popper getaway, and so much more. It was such a fun day, full of emotion and love.
So happy for these two and we hope to get them back in front of our cameras (with their amazing pup, Franklin!) again soon. Thanks for having us capture your Umstead Hotel Wedding, friends!!
