Garner, NC Wedding // Barry + Karissa

"In Christ alone my hope is found."

From the intentional ceremony and the beautiful vows to the groom's speech at the end of the evening, it was evident what was important to this couple on their wedding day - showcasing their hope found only in Christ and intentionally committing their lives to each other. Despite ups and downs with the weather, and therefore no definite plan on a photo location, everything worked out beautifully. Congratulations, Barry and Karissa! Thanks for letting me be a part of this day!

You can't tell, but it was pretty cold. These two were champs!

THE CEREMONY

Because their ceremony and reception were at two different locations, Barry and Karissa chose to do their "send-off" immediately following their ceremony. This meant I would stay for all the scheduled things during the reception, but I didn't have a send-off I needed to wait around for, and the couple could stay and visit with their guests as long as they wanted without pressure to leave on time. You can absolutely do whatever you want on your wedding day!

THE RECEPTION

Congratulations to an amazing couple! You were a joy to be around. Looking forward to watching you serve the Lord together!
