The lovely Julianne officially tied the knot this past Saturday! Now that the big day has arrived, I can finally share some of my absolute favorite moments from her stunning bridal session at Rose Hill Estate, which we captured back in April. Planning a rose hill estate wedding is an absolute dream for any couple, and as a Raleigh wedding photographer, getting to shoot at such a historic and gorgeous venue is always a career highlight.
Planning a Rose Hill Estate Wedding Session
I always tell couples that no two bridal sessions are the same. It completely comes down to the bride’s personality, style, and vision. Julianne’s portrait session was a perfect example of this. Thanks to her close family ties to the estate, we had free rein of the beautiful, historic grounds for her bridal portraits.
We began with timeless, traditional portraits near a gorgeous grove of trees. While shooting, I noticed the estate’s historic cemetery in the distance and jokingly asked Julianne if she’d want to venture over. Fast forward two hours later, and that stunning, unique backdrop became the perfect spot to wrap up our day!
In the Bride’s Words…
We had an absolute blast blending classic elegance with a bit of adventurous spontaneity. But you don’t have to take my word for it—here is the beautiful message Julianne sent over after opening her gallery:
“My mom and I finished looking at them… and I cried! They are SO beautiful and absolutely stunning. I was in so much awe that it brought me to tears. You did such a beautiful job, and I cannot find enough words to tell you how amazing these photos turned out.
I wanted to show John so badly, but obviously, he can’t see me until the wedding! I am SO happy that we found you, and I’m ecstatic that you are our photographer. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, and I can’t wait for the wedding day!”
