Cary Wedding Photography: Tara and Ryan

I first had the pleasure of working with Tara and Ryan during their engagement shoot in May in Charlotte.

There were so photogenic and easy to work with and I knew their wedding at The Umstead, an elegant hotel and spa in Cary, NC, would be amazing.

They were blessed with a beautiful afternoon for the outdoor ceremony. There were many touching moments during the intimate event and both families were a pleasure to be around.

Many thanks to Ami Wheeler, the catering sales manager at The Umstead, and the rest of the staff. Watered Garden Florist created an elegant atmosphere for the reception and Ken Holmes of the Joe Bunn DJ Company kept the crowd dancing all night.
