Annelise & Jonathan’s Wedding at the Matthews House

Annelise & Jonathan are an absolutely adorable couple. They have a natural chemistry and a sense of playfulness that made them a breeze to photograph. Even on a steamy August day in North Carolina!

They held their ceremony at the Matthews House in Cary. Guests were spaced out according to social distancing mandates in the reception hall. They, like so many couples who are holding weddings during the pandemic, broadcast the wedding over zoom.

The Matthews House has an overhang between the main house and the reception hall, which was an ideal portrait location on a rainy afternoon. Luckily, the weather cleared up during their couple’s session and we were able to use the gorgeous grounds around the house. There were some locals who came to say congratulations to the newlyweds from a distance in the parking lot. And they brought bubbles. You better believe that I capitalized on that situation. Winning!

The reception was held at a friend’s barn in Raleigh. Annelise’s mom suggested that we do a group shot with everyone and place the bride and groom at the second floor window. And of course, we had to do a group shot with masks during the family photos.

One of my favorite shots from the wedding was the sparkler exit. The sparklers created a ton of smoke for some reason, perhaps it was because of the humidity. With a little bit of creative editing, these are some of the best sparkler exit photos that I have ever done!
