Hannah & Dustin's Wedding - {Marriage}

(MTH Photography by Molly Davis) — Wed, 20 Nov 2019 02:37:07 GMT

November 9th, 2019, Hannah & Dustin were married at Rolling Hills Farms in Monroe, North Carolina. Fall is such a beautiful time of year for a wedding and these two had a beautiful venue to match the season. Rolling Hills is surrounded by rustic touches with their heavy wood beams, stone porches and wooden walls. Even as cool as the day ended up being, I love the golden warmth in these images from their special day. This past week though, but I'm sure these two enjoyed the warmth by the blue waters honeymooning in Punta Cana! Hannah & Dustin, thank you for letting me be a part of your day...I wish you both many happy years together!

Hannah & Dustin chose to have a "first look" with each other prior to the ceremony. Oh my goodness, THIS is why I highly recommend stepping outside of the traditional "meet you on the isle" first look. Look at these priceless images, so pretty as Dustin saw her for the first time!

Lane & Shelby's Wedding

(MTH Photography by Molly Davis) — Fri, 07 Jun 2019 14:18:09 GMT

Sunday, June 2nd, 2019, Lane and Shelby were married at Meadow Creek Farms in Locust, North Carolina. It was a beautiful sunny and hot Sunday afternoon. The grounds at Meadow Creek is such a pretty setting for a wedding. Here is a recap of their day. Want to give a big “Thank you” to Alicia Damron for all her help in second shooting for me!

How cute is this of Lane with his new "little" bro-in-law and his own little brother?! DSC_2861 DSC_2823 DSC_2834

Love this next candid moment of Lane and his mom. No, it's not the best angle, not a great view of faces but just a quick minute with mother and her son that sealed the moment in time.

Thought this was sweet. At this venue, the pathway to the ceremony site is pretty long. Shelby has four brothers. Each brother walked her a quarter of the way down the path and would hand her off to the other brother, until she reached her dad. This shot was just before her dad walked her down the isle.

Maleah & Hayden's Wedding!

(MTH Photography by Molly Davis) — Sat, 23 Feb 2019 16:50:11 GMT

Sunday, February 17th, 2019, Maleah & Hayden were married at Rolling Hills in Monroe, NC. And if you've live in North Carolina, you know the weather has been a bit soggy for the last 7-10 days. It's rained for several days straight now including the day these two were married. But I'll say it again, rainy wedding can make for some of the most beautiful pictures when the lighting captures the rain just right. It almost looks as if crystals are falling all around the new Mr. & Mrs. So, if you're planning a wedding and wet weather is in the forecast, don't worry...You'll end up with beautiful pictures! Come along with me as recap Maleah & Hayden's wedding day with a few of my favorite pictures.

Taryn & Wriston's {Wedding}

(MTH Photography by Molly Davis) — Wed, 26 Sep 2018 12:30:51 GMT

Saturday, September 22, 2018, Taryn & Wriston were married and Meadow Creek Farms in Locust, North Carolina. The beautiful black fence with cascading trees that mirrored one another on each side, welcomed us as we drove down the drive to the venue. When we arrived, the bridal suite was buzzing with wedding day excitement. The colors of the season were evident in Taryn's choice of details for their wedding. In fact, she told me she wanted the pictures to have a warm, fall feel to them and in the tips of some of the trees, you could tell it was early fall. With the golden hour sunlight, I think the warmth was able to be achieved. It was made for the perfect backdrop for this pretty wedding. Here's a glance of their wedding day, enjoy!

This wring was Taryn's "something old". It was her grandmother's wedding band. The pictures make this ring look larger than it was. I used my macro lens to show up the engraving on the inside because I couldn't see it with my eyes. The engraving are the initials of her grandfather and grandmother. DSC_3022 DSC_3019

Littles in the bridals sweet! DSC_3121 DSC_3125

Jasmine & Jacob's {Wedding}

(MTH Photography by Molly Davis) — Wed, 19 Sep 2018 15:18:58 GMT

These two have already had a bit of a test in their relationship as they are starting out their new life together. Jasmine & Jacob's wedding was originally planned for August 26th but, the week prior to their wedding, Jacob had an accident on the job while he was working and actually shot a nail into his eye. I cringe at even the thought of it! His accident resulted in a couple of surgeries that same week and strict orders for rest to insure proper healing. So, after discussing this with his doctor and their families, they decided to postpone the wedding until the 16th. But, these two weren't in the clear yet. As the days leading up to this date approached, so the did a big storm out in the Atlantic...Hurricane Florence! Wouldn't you know, hurricane Florence was scheduled to hit our area of North Caroline on Sunday, September 16th...Jasmine & Jacob's wedding day! There was no way to hold an outdoor ceremony in the wind and rain so with this being said, they decided to have a fraction of their friends and family and move the wedding date up to Thursday evening, September 13th, 2018! But what seemed to be a bit of a whirlwind (in more ways than one), ended up being an absolutely beautiful (and windy) evening with their closest friends and family. Jasmine and Jacob were married between two, beautiful streams on the patio at the home where she grew up. Come along with me as the pictures from their wedding day tell their story. DSC_0095 DSC_0097 DSC_0100

Without an arial view, it's hard to see so I'll try to explain. On either side of this patio, there are two beautiful streams where the water flows over the river rocks. These two streams meet together and become one as it flows into the pond that you see in the distance. When I first met with Jasmine, she told me that her dad said it reminded him of how when husband and wife are married, they become one. Genesis 2:24 "Therefore shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh."

Savannah & Hayden's {Wedding}

(MTH Photography by Molly Davis) — Sat, 15 Sep 2018 17:02:46 GMT

Sunday, September 9th, 2018, Savannah & Hayden were married at the home where she grew up. In their backyard was the most beautiful setting for this couple to unite in marriage. The cross has become a favorite of mine for couples to use at the alter. To me it's the perfect reminder to keep Christ at the center of their union together as husband and wife. After much work from their families, their outdoor ceremony was simply gorgeous! In fact, some of the wooden pews were made from the trees that came from her in-law's property. Come join me for a walk through their wedding day.

Lainey & Luke's Wedding!

(MTH Photography by Molly Davis) — Mon, 02 Jul 2018 16:11:45 GMT

Saturday, June 23rd, 2018, Lainey & Luke were married at a Central UMC in Concord, NC. There is something special about a church weddings and this one was certainly didn't disappoint. Everything about their day was gorgeous, the chapel, the flowers, the music, the colors, but most importantly, their kindness! I met Lainey & Luke several months ago and new right from the start, this couple were going to be great to work with and they were! Wedding days are fast paced and there are many distractions, interruptions and events that can alter the aspect of photography during the day. But Lainey and Luke went right with the flow and trusted whatever the day held...these two are genuine people! Their love for one another was apparent many times throughout their day, it was evident they truly enjoy each other. I was thrilled to celebrate with them and their first day as husband and wife! Here's a glimpse of their wedding in pictures.

****Note: we captured many more images than what my hosting site allows to be posted, this is just a brief example of their photography****

This might have been my favorite moment from their wedding day. Lainey and Luke wanted some quiet time for a prayer between just the two of them prior to the ceremony. They didn't want to see each other either until ceremony time so we had them stand here in this stairway with their backs against the wall. It was truly a sweet, raw and real moment. They both were overcome with emotion.

Oliva & Nick are Married {Wedding}

(MTH Photography by Molly Davis) — Fri, 25 May 2018 12:51:18 GMT

With planning an outdoor venue for their wedding, Olivia & Nick and their families had been watching the weather forecast for several days prior to their wedding date. So the weekend prior, I got a call from Olivia's mom that said "what if...." you guessed it, a back up plan. Truly, with North Carolina weather this time of year, it's not uncommon to have a pop up thunderstorm in the afternoons. But as the week approached, the chance of rain looked inevitable, so the shots were called and the date and venue changed to the following Sunday. Rolling Hill Farms in Monroe, North Carolina, was the setting for this beautiful wedding. Even with the last minute change of events, it didn't dampen their spirits. When I arrived, the bridal suite was buzzing with excitement for this couple! You could feel the excited energy for this bride and groom. Debbie, Olivia's mom, had done and amazing job decorating the venue. So much thought, preparation and hard work had been poured into every inch of this venue. The tables were exquisitely adorned, beautiful china, fresh greenery and shades of pink touches. My favorites were the perfectly pink peonies spilling out of the drawers of antique furniture that was randomly placed throughout the venue. Simply gorgeous!

(NOTE: This is only a preview of images. My hosting site has a limit as to how many images can be included with each post. There were many more of family members, guest, events & decor that I wanted to share in this preview but there's just simply not enough room.)

Jacob & Kristen's Wedding

(MTH Photography by Molly Davis) — Fri, 04 May 2018 19:10:41 GMT

Kristen & Jacob had a beautiful wedding, an outdoor ceremony at the home of where Jacob grew up. Saturday, April 28th, 2017 these two were married by the cross on his parent's front lawn. To me, it's the perfect setting for the beginning of a marriage...the cross, an anchor and a stable foundation to keep this couple grounded through both the good (and bad) times that they will face in the years ahead. The weather was sunny and 79 degrees, exactly the type of weather that makes you love the Carolinas this time of year. Looking back through my pictures, there are so many favorites. Here's their first day as husband and wife!

Oh my, there is a story that goes along with this shot. But, we'll save that for another day, all that matters is that horse in the background made for a pretty backdrop.

Ellis & Autumn's Wedding

(MTH Photography by Molly Davis) — Thu, 15 Mar 2018 12:25:16 GMT

When I arrived at Rolling Hill Farms, I was greeted with all smiles as I walked into the bridal suite the day Autumn and Ellis were married. There was such a happy energy that filled the venue for these two and you could feel it amongst their friends and family. It was a cold and rainy Sunday afternoon on March 11th, 2018 but that didn't dampen their spirits in the least. These two were getting married and starting their lives together! Below, I'll let my view explain a little more about their day!

Summer & Paul's {WEDDING}

(MTH Photography by Molly Davis) — Thu, 25 Jan 2018 01:14:47 GMT

If you've lived here any length of time, you know that North Carolina's weather can be a bit unpredictable. Although January is usually one of our colder months, Sunday, January 21st, 2018, proved otherwise. Even though there were patches of snow left on the ground from a snow storm earlier in the week, the day of Paul & Summer's wedding couldn't have been anymore pleasant. The low 60's was the setting for their winter wedding at Rolling Hill Farms in Monroe, North Carolina. When I arrived, the wedding activities were underway and the bridal suite was filled with her friends and family. You could feel the exciting energy upon entering even with Summer's calm demeanor. Keep scrolling to see how their day unfolded.

DSC_8186

Although it was 60 degrees outside, I like for my pictures to tell a story. In 30 years from now, when they tell their kids about their wedding day, I'm sure they'll remember the snow that was on the ground leftover from a snow storm just a couple of days before their wedding. DSC_8181 - Copy
