Rose Hill Plantation Wedding Film in Nashville, NC | Gracyn and Wyatt

May 21, 2019

This wedding is so special for so many reasons.

I have known Wyatt since we were little and our moms taught together and I will be photographing his sister’s wedding in the fall! When his mom reached out to me about having my brother Weston film their weddings, I was really excited to try something new.

Weston will be attending UNCW in the fall majoring in Film Studies and he’s always been so visual and talented when it comes to creating beautiful videos. I knew he would do perfectly, even if it was his first venture as a wedding videographer!

Gracyn and Wyatt had the most beautiful day –– even with sideways rain AND tornados!!!

You know you are going to have a good marriage with the rain is pouring down during portraits and all you are concerned about is each other. I loved watching Wyatt and Gracyn approach what could be a really stressful situation with laughter, love, and patience.

Not to mention their reception was a PARTY! Weston and I are both big dancers so we were thankful for guests (and even Gracyn’s mom!) who wanted to bring everyone in on the party.

Make sure you watch all the way to the end for a little surprise of how the night really ended 😉
