Summer Wedding at Chapel Hill Carriage House

Carriage House wedding in Chapel Hill for Jennie & Kyle

We love the Chapel Hill Carriage House, and it was the perfect backdrop for this summer wedding. All the animals, greenery, and love!

Jennie & Kyle were married Memorial Day weekend at the Chapel Hill Carriage House and they and their friends had an absolutely wonderful day, but like usual, I’m going to let the photographs do most of the talking.

Once they were both ready, Jennie & Kyle had a private first look and letter exchange. I love getting to witness moments like these!!!

Then it was time for the official ceremony with all their guests in attendance. Laney Margolis did a fantastic job officiating and Kyle’s uncle played the guitar for their ceremony music. As the newlyweds recessed out, their guests tossed lavender at them.

One of my favorite things about Chapel Hill Carriage House is that during cocktail hour, you and your guests can interact with the farm animals, like Abraham the alpaca here. Look at his top hat!!!!

Cocktail hour is not just for grownups: the kids and the cats had lots of fun too!

But the real fun started as blue hour set in, our couple cut into their cake, and the dance floor heated up…
