I first met Nicole, owner of the lifestyle blog The Doctorette, and Nate, blogger of Chewgether, for a lifestyle session in their home, which you can check our here. Over the year she has become so much more than client; she has become a great friend.

I really loved being apart of her wedding journey- from the engagement session, touring the venue to getting sneak peaks of her dress, the cake topper, and other incredible wedding details.

Nicole and Nathan tied the knot on a gorgeous fall day at The Meadows at Firefly Farm just outside of Raleigh, NC. Judging from the photos though, you’d never know this gorgeous venue is in Raleigh; you’d probably think it was somewhere in the mountains. The really cool vendors and amazing wedding planner, The Lion House, made everything look absolutely gorgeous.

One of my favorite memories from their wedding was the first look and all the dancing. I’ve had more dancing weddings this year and I love it! Nicole scored big by having one of the last ceremonies in the actual meadow, where they shared their first look. Nathan did a “Magic Mike” dance to Pony.

I hope they are enjoying their honeymoon in Paris and cannot wait to get behind the camera and capture the next part of their journey.
