Mary and Jason’s wedding day was absolutely perfect! Here in the city of Durham, they held their wedding ceremony at the Aldersgate United Methodist Church and their reception at the North Carolina Museum of Life and Science . These locations seemed like the perfect fit for this amazing couple.

Although there were a ton of memorable moments, the ones that stood out to me was the warm passion that exuberated from them as they anticipated each others touch while standing on opposing sides of a tree (this was before their ceremony and they held hands without actually seeing each other), a simple kiss Mary and Jason gave each other moments after walking out of their ceremony, the toasts their siblings gave during the reception with the “oh, dear lord what family have I married myself into” facial expressions (the toasts were some of the funniest toasts I’ve heard), and the outstanding performance Jason gave singing and playing the guitar to his wife. The song was a Dave Matthews Band song called “Loving Wings.” It has the lyrics “I give to you my everything. You’ve given me these loving wings.” It was SO INCREDIBLY sweet.

On top of it all, I was lucky to have my brother-in-law, Thad Lawrence, from 2and3photography come help me photograph Mary and Jason’s special day. He’s always capturing some beautiful photographs. Overall, it was a fantastic day full of wonderful people =)
