Molly + Nolan \\ The Maxwell

“My husband and I saw Mark's page in the Heart of NC Weddings magazine and almost instantly knew that his was the exact style we wanted for our December wedding. From the minute we first spoke on the phone, we felt like it just clicked! We didn't want the traditional "light-and-airy" wedding photo look, but rather something that truly captured our personalities and our vibe as a couple. Mark understood the assignment! Our engagement photos, wedding photos, and wedding video were truly more amazing than we could have ever imagined and they are pieces of art that we will treasure forever.” - Molly and Nolan

Melora + Conor \\ Rooftop Wedding in Durham

Connor and Melora had a spectacular rooftop wedding in Downtown Durham. They exchanged vows with a few family and friends before sneaking off with me for some sunset photos. Our evening ended at Rue Cler for the reception and some of the best food in Durham.

John + Liz \\ Linville Falls Winery

I shot this wedding 1/2 mile from where I grew up which was weird and also beautiful. John and Liz had the most yin-yang energy when it came to their wedding day. Southern tradition mixed with wild spirits. Follow the Budweiser can and GT 350 for the whole story.

Zoe + Alison \\ Durham Courthouse Elopement

On Zoe and Alison’s wedding day we met on a Monday morning at the courthouse about an hour before they were scheduled to get hitched so we could take some photos of them feeling beautiful together. This was a really special time because they had a few moments together before the ceremony to connect, take some deep breaths and remember why they decided to get married in the first place. Also, this was the first time they had photos taken together which made me really excited!
