As I sit at my desk on this Monday morning, tackling my to do list and catching up on scheduling instagram posts, one word keeps coming to my mind, and that word is peace. My wish for you on this Monday is for a peaceful week where hate has disappeared, and hope has taken its place. Take a deep breath, and may good things follow. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #theivyrosebarn #luxuryweddings #virginiaweddings #luxurybarn #ncweddingphotographer #vaweddingphotographer #fuji400h #filmphotographer #whitebarnwedding #northcarolinaweddings ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Venue: @theivyrosebarn⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Host & Design:@nicolecolwellphotography⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Rentals: @the_heirloom_collection⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Florals: @selahrayflorals⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Paper Goods: @papier.handmade⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Gown & Veil: @clairepettibone⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Tux: @theblacktux⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Linens: @bbjlinen⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Cake: @blushbakingco

Sarah and Sam were able to make a weekend trip to Chapel Hill from DC for their engagement session as well as finalizing a few wedding details for their Spring wedding. We were able to catch the last glimpse of Fall before the Winter sun set here in NC. Don't you just love the warmth of Fall colors (and Sarah's coat)?! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #fuji400h #ncweddingphotographer #shootfilm #ncengagement #chapelhillengagement #chapelhill #unc #uncengagement #fallengagement #ncengagementphotographer #raleighweddingphotographer #chapelhillwedding #chapelhillweddingphotographer #raleighwedding #ncfilmphotographer 
I'm embarrassed to admit this, but I binge-watched the Undoing on HBO last night while my husband slept on the couch. I haven't completely finished it, so don't tell me what happens, but have you seen it? And can we just talk about Nicole Kidman's coats?! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #uncengagement #fuji400h #shootfilm #winter #nc #ncweddingphotographer #ncfilmphotographer #unccampus #chapelhill #chapelhillnc

When the new member of your family is a golden, and this handsome, he deserves his own bouquet of florals to wear. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @sarahmurphymacpherson⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @forsythcountryclub⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @greenbeefloraldesigns⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @bellissimanc⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @katharinemannevents ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #fuji400h #ncwedding #intimatewedding #winstonsalemwedding #ncweddingphotographer

If you know me, you know I love details, and even the smallest detail is worth documenting when it comes to my couples and their story. Don't you just love Joe's monogram on his cuff paired with Madison's beautiful engagement ring? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #ncengagementphotographer #ncwedding #fuji400h #ncfilmphotographer #raleighweddingphotographer #chapelhill #chapelhillengagementsession #chapelhillengagement #engagementdetails #ncengagement⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @madison_call 
Brides, do you want to help your photographer capture gorgeous ring shots of your ring? Here’s a few tips on making sure that happens: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 1. Make sure you have all three rings in the getting room with you when your photographer arrives. ⠀ 2. Make sure you clean your ring the week of your wedding. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 3. You can purchase a ring box from @the_mrs_box in a color that compliments your wedding colors, but if you do not purchase a ring box, no worries at all! I bring many styling items with me on the day of the wedding to compliment your details with ring boxes included! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 4. Ask your florist to bring a few extra florals from your arrangements or bouquet to your getting ready room. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 5. Make sure you have your invitation set with your details in the getting ready room. These work great as ring shot backdrops - especially if they have artwork or calligraphy, like the photo pictured above. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And now you have the perfect recipe for helping your photographer create magical ring shots that will turn into a piece of art to hang in your home.
