Pinehurst Wedding Photographer

From vows at The Village Chapel to a sparkler send-off at the Pinehurst Resort Clubhouse, a wedding day in Pinehurst, North Carolina.

A Wedding at The Village Chapel and Pinehurst Resort

I photographed this wedding across a few places in Pinehurst, North Carolina, all close to one another. The bride got ready with her family and bridesmaids at a house around the corner from The Village Chapel, while the groom and groomsmen gathered at The Manor. One of my favorite frames came just after the vows, when the newlyweds looked at each other and smiled as they walked back down the aisle. The evening continued at the Pinehurst Resort Clubhouse and ended with guests lining the way with sparklers.

Getting Ready in Pinehurst

I photographed the bride through the doorway as she laughed with the women helping her with her gown. At The Manor, I used the window light for a quieter frame of the groom adjusting his bow tie, with his groomsmen relaxing nearby.

The Wedding Ceremony at The Village Chapel

The Village Chapel is just around the corner from Pinehurst Resort. I photographed the bride coming down the aisle with her bouquet, then took in the ceremony from the balcony. From up there, the red carpet leads straight to the couple at the altar, with their wedding party on either side and the pews filled with family and friends.

Wedding Portraits at The Village Chapel

I returned to the balcony for two portraits after the ceremony. In the first, the wedding party fills the red-carpet aisle. In the second, the pews are empty and it’s just the two of them, with his arm around her and her veil spread across the aisle.

At the Clubhouse, I photographed the room with the candles lit and the wedding cake framed by flowers. Later, that same cake became the backdrop for one of my favorite expressions of the night. The bride burst out laughing as they made the first cut together.

A Sparkler Send-Off at Pinehurst Resort

The last time I photographed them walking toward me that night, it was outside the Clubhouse. They held hands as guests raised sparklers on either side, echoing their walk back down the aisle at The Village Chapel.
