Karen and Nigel celebrated their love in a North Carolina wedding for the books. The day began with an intimate first look at an art gallery, where photographer Mantas Kubilinskas utilized the shadows and projections to capture some of the most uniquely beautiful portraits we’ve seen. From the traditional church ceremony at Duke Memorial Church to the reception at Bay 7 , the entire wedding was filled to the brim with love.

The Wedding:
Bay 7, Durham, North Carolina

There were so many amazing moments. Nigel and I did a first look at our hotel/art museum. Getting that reveal as a private moment was so fun and having a few minutes to take photos and let it sink it was unforgettable.

When we pictured our big day, we wanted the dance floor to be full and to look out at our families and friends all getting down and having a great time. It was super important that it felt like “us” and that everyone just had fun.
