Carly & Mark’s Wedding
As a photographer, I’ve had the pleasure of witnessing countless love stories unfold before my lens, but there’s something truly special about capturing the journey of college sweethearts like Carly and Mark. Their love story began at UNC Chapel Hill, where they met during their first weekend as freshmen. Instant chemistry sparked between them, leading to a bond that would endure throughout their college years and beyond.
When Carly and Mark began planning their wedding, one thing was clear: the vibe had to be just right. As lovers of aesthetic and atmosphere, they were determined to create an ambiance that exuded fun, happiness, and above all, love. Their wedding was a true reflection of their personalities and the energy they wanted to radiate on their special day.
The inspiration behind Carly and Mark’s wedding theme can be summed up in two words: relaxed sophistication. They wanted a dreamy, romantic celebration with a touch of simplicity, and their vision was flawlessly executed. From the decor to the ambiance, every detail exuded elegance and charm.
It’s always a challenge to pick just one favorite memory from a wedding as beautiful as Carly and Mark’s, but there were moments that stood out above the rest. The happy hour, filled with live jazz music, delicious drinks, and mouth watering appetizers, was a true highlight. However, nothing could compare to the pure joy and love shared during their first dance—a moment filled with laughter, love, and endless happiness.
Despite any unexpected twists or turns, their day was perfect in every way. From the smallest details to the overwhelming love that filled the air, it was a day they’ll cherish forever—a testament to the power of love and the beauty of finding your soulmate.
