Welcome to the SJP blog

Kailey and Kyle were married at The Meadows wedding venue in Raleigh, NC on a sunny September day. If I had to describe their wedding in one word it would be…fairytale.

If you are looking for a truly unique wedding venue The Meadows at Firefly Farm Preserve is the perfect place! The Meadows wedding venue is a striking mixture of rustic farmhouse meets industrial. One of my absolute favorite wedding venues in Raleigh! Kyle and Kailey chose The Meadows as they love the unexpected ways the venue incorporates nature into your wedding day.

The day started off with the girls getting ready in the Aerie House…a beautifully styled guest house for the bride to get ready in that features light & bright decor…making for amazing photos.

    

While the girls were getting ready there…they guys were getting ready at the Roost…the second guest house on the property that has a more masculine lodge-like vibe.

(Another reason Kailey & Kyle chose the Meadows for their wedding venue…They loved that the family could stay on the venue with them and celebrate all in one place)

After a romantic first look at the tree swing (one of my most beloved features of this wedding venue BTW)…Kyle & Kailey made their way to the ceremony.

Pampas grass lined and archway that served as a boho-inspired gateway to their ceremony.

Their ceremony was held in the forest, among the tall trees, and was utterly romantic especially with the white florals that dusted the forest floor for Kailey to walk down.

 

The rest of their wedding also carried through the boho inspired styling with an elegant twist. Sara of Sweet SaraBelle weddings & events never disappoints! Every wedding I photograph with Sara is completely unique and not a detail is left unfinished or out of place.

 

Their wedding colors of burgundy, purples and creams accented by other deep jewel tones were the perfect color scheme for a fall wedding.

Kailey’s bouquet, created by Specialties Events, was beyond breathtaking with the variety of jewel toned florals and textures!

In the reception space everywhere you looked, greenery and florals cascaded the tables…unique glass prisms and tall taper candles and gold accents were the finishing touches to the decor…it was nothing short of a fairy tale!

Every detail down to the presentation of dinner buffet and elegant wedding cake from Love Cake NC pulled through their rustic, romantic vibe.

After the meal was served and all the wedding festivities were complete…. everyone partied the night away under the moon while Eric from all around Raleigh events kept the music pumping.

 

Every part of this day was something dreams are made of…just like the love between Kailey & Kyle…these two are the real deal….and when fate brought Kailey & Kyle together in an elevator at Duke University, it knew it was the start of a Happily Every After!
