Weddings

Okay, don’t judge, but Nicole + Zac’s wedding at St. Mary’s Chapel and The Stockroom at 230 happened back in 2018. Nevermind, feel free to judge because I’m definitely judging myself!

Nicole + Zac’s wedding was one of the first few weddings after we tweaked our editing style which is why it’s making the blog nearly 2.5 years later (yeahhhhhhh, all the judgement), but this was also one of our favorite weddings to date as well! Nicole and Zac were both so excited and all of their friends and family were filled with the same joy for them! This was also logistically one of the more busy weddings because both parties got ready at different spaces, then both took the same Raleigh Trolley at separate times to St. Mary’s Chapel, then after the ceremony and portraits everyone traveled to The Stockroom at 230 to party hard. Phew! Even just typing that out reminds me of the whirlwind – but it was so worth it!

I know it’s an oldie, but I promise it’s also a goodie!

Nicole and her ladies got ready at the couple’s house but then took the Raleigh Trolley to St. Mary’s Chapel full of karaoke and good times!

Once Nicole was all dressed and ready to go, she had a first look with all of her ladies!

Then Nicole had an emotional first look with both her dad and her step-dad. They were some super sweet moments as Nicole gave them both an item with a sewn note expressing her love for both of them – there were definitely a lot of tears!

Zac got each of his groomsmen a personalized leather flask and some Maker’s Mark bourbon so we had to grab a shot of the awesome gifts!

After the guys were dressed and arrived at the church we took some wedding party photos of them all looking snazzy! I was also informed that sadly the guys did not partake in any karaoke.

With the sun setting and a giant party waiting for these two back at The Stockroom at 230 we all hopped back on the trolley!

After the cake cutting the real party began! What also makes this wedding one of our favorites is Nicole and Zac had a live band to dance to! The Dickens were phenomenal and knew all of the classic wedding dance songs and make the dancing such a fun and unique experience!
