Kelsey and Max had a beautiful summer wedding at the North Carolina Botanical Gardens. This venue, that is located just minutes from the beautiful campus of UNC, was such a familiar place for me. I absolutely loved being able to photograph so close to one of my favorite places!  It was also perfectly fitting because UNC is where Kelsey and Max first met. So, to say that I loved their wedding venue would be an understatement. Their wedding was the perfect rustic wedding that included a great pair of cowgirl boots and the perfectly wooded venue. It was such a joy to be a part of their beautiful day. These two were surrounded by their friends and family all day and it was so heartwarming to see. One of my favorite parts of their big day was the sweet moments of the bride and her father right before they walked down the aisle. I remember Kelsey telling me before the wedding that her father was her best friend! The tears of joy from them both as they had their first look were precious. Then again for them to share those amazing little moments right before they walked down the aisle to meet Max. To be able to capture each of these little details of Kelsey and Max’s beautiful day was absolutely amazing and I am so thankful that they trusted me with the day in which these two were able to become one!
