Emily and Luke were married this past weekend, so now that they are officially husband and wife, I can share Emily’s stunning bridal portraits with you here on the blog today! Even in September, North Carolina has a tendency to be a little bipolar with its weather. The day of Emily’s bridals, it was unseasonably hot. But despite the high temperatures outside, Emily looked absolutely gorgeous in her wedding dress and even the heat couldn’t stop her from making the most of her bridal session at the gorgeous Merrimon-Wynne House in downtown Raleigh! I loved getting to spend some time with Emily and share in her excitement as her wedding day quickly approached. This girl made such a beautiful bride and I’m so honored to have been able to capture this exciting time in her and Luke’s life!

Congratulations again, Luke and Emily!
