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.

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.
