Rachel & Eric • Durham NC Cotton Room Wedding

Talk about an elegant wedding!! This Durham, NC Cotton Room wedding will take your breath away from start to finish! The bride’s completely lace gown is one of the prettiest gowns ever! I talked about it a ton in her bridal portrait post, so I won’t rehash everything I said there, but except to say that I absolutely loved it!

Rachel has such style and it showed in every aspect of her wedding. She had a hand designing the entire thing, and I’m pretty sure would have actually installed everything herself if it has been possible! Including the impressive and expansive hanging greenery above her t style head table! I’ll never forget that installation! Just wait until you see it! She ordered most of the greenery from her work and it turned out perfectly. We absolutely loved her entirely green bouquet!

And the biggest wedding blog in the world, Style Me Pretty, agreed!!! We were all so excited to hear their wedding got picked up for feature on SMP! Such a huge honor! It’s definitely worth checking out HERE to see their favorite parts of the day.

These two were such a joy to photograph. They were all about the fun and spent their entire reception on the dance floor! I love when couples get to do that! It’s so easy to get distracted by talking and thanking everyone. And it’s important to thank you guests, but the bride and groom should get to enjoy the party too! Right?! These two definitely did, and we learned they have some pretty impressive dance moves too!

Thank you Rachel & Eric for having us there to photograph your special day, and celebrate with you! We hope you love the photos as much as we loved taking them! We hope your marriage is as happy as your wedding day was!

Huge thanks to our second shooter, Kelsey Nelson, for helping out and being there to capture all the fun with us! We couldn’t have done it without her!
