Blush Summer Wedding At Mike’s Farm in Beulaville, NC | Carree and Reagan

August 27, 2019

“We’re actually going to be getting married on August 24th…yep, in two weeks.”

WOW.

When Carree reached out to me looking for a wedding photographer for her big day, I was so thankful that the ONE Saturday that I had open in the next few months was the day she needed me.

Carree and Reagan were married and celebrated with their closest friends and family this past weekend at Mike’s Farm. Thankfully they have some amazing people surrounding them that were able to put together their dream day in such a short amount of time.

We all kept saying “it just feels meant to be!” and I think that’s the only way to describe it.

It was even supposed to pour all day and it didn’t!!! (I was super grateful for that so we could get portraits outside!)

Being around Carree and Reagan’s families just made my day. Evan and I were laughing the whole time –– plus I knew they were my kind of people when they all got seconds of Mike’s Farm’s famous mac and cheese (if you know, you know).

I love the way they look at each other, Carree’s giggley laugh, and Reagan’s calm demeanor and willingness to do whatever will make his bride smile. This is going to be a marriage that lasts forever and I am so excited to be part of their journey.

Here’s to the Potters!!!

Plus a HUGE thank you to the vendor team that made this beautiful day possible:
