Laura & Drew tied the knot this past weekend at the iconic Oaks at Salem and had the wedding of their dreams with their favorite people! It was an absolute dream of a wedding day that we were honored to photograph for them!

There are weddings that feel like magic from the very start—and Laura & Drew’s day at The Oaks at Salem was exactly that. From the Carolina blue skies to the way the sunlight danced through the trees, it was the kind of spring day that every couple dreams about.

Laura was absolutely radiant in her Anne Barge gown—it fit her like it was made just for her. The delicate detailing and graceful silhouette were a perfect match for her classic, yet modern style. Drew looked just as sharp in his elegant tux from The BLK Tux, and their wedding party? One of the biggest and most fun I’ve ever photographed! They brought all the energy, all day long—from bringing the hype during their portraits to tearing it up on the dance floor, we had an absolute blast with them!

The florals were a fresh mix of white and green with blues, timeless and lush, adding a soft, romantic feel to the whole celebration. And I have to talk about their sweet pup, Bailey, who proudly walked down the aisle like the goodest wedding guest. It was such a personal touch that made the day even more special.

As the sun set over the venue, the live band kicked into gear and the celebration truly began. The dance floor never stood a chance. Laura & Drew’s friends and family brought the energy, and the band kept the vibe alive with one hit after another. From their first dance to the final song of the night, it was nothing but joy. And their reception outfit change? Incredible!!

Laura & Drew, thank you for letting me be part of such an unforgettable day. Your love, your people, and your sweet Bailey made it all shine. Cheers to the newlyweds!!
