On September 17th, 2022, Erin & Aleks got married!

September 17th will forever be the most special day to the two of them! Erin and Aleks met in middle school in Raleigh, and have been inseparable since. They dated through long distance in college and then moved in together afterwards, once they were living back in Raleigh again together. As someone who is married to her high school sweetheart, I adore their love story!!

I had the pleasure of photographing their beautiful wedding day. Erin & Aleks were married in the White Garden at the JC Raulston Arboretum on NC State's Campus. They had a gorgeous sunflower themed wedding, which seemed so fitting to the setting and their personalities.

I had so many favorite parts of their wedding day.

Erin swapped dresses before making her entrance to the reception. I loved seeing the outfit change!

I loved the father daughter dance that Erin shared with her dad. The energy was so fun and happy. It truly made me smile so much.

The best man speech was great! Everyone was laughing the entire time.

During the bride & groom first dance, Aleks boutineer essentially "exploded" sending flower pieces everywhere. This didn't slow down their dance at all though and made it fun to watch.

So many wonderful vendors helped pull this gorgeous fall wedding together. Congratulations to Erin & Aleks!
