Laura & Elliotte – NCMA Wedding

interracial couple in wedding attire laughs with one another

Museums are my favorite wedding venues, and the North Carolina Museum of Art is my favorite museum for a wedding. Laura & Elliotte agreed, and had their September wedding at NCMA. We started their day with a first look and private vows out on the grounds before moving inside for some more portraits and the ceremony + reception.
