We had the pleasure of photographing at the romantic, Highgrove Estate in Fuquay-Varina for Gabrielle and Addison’s wedding day. Just a short 30 minute drive from Raleigh, this classic estate sits on seven acres of property overlooking Lake Laurel. The house has a light, airy feel and has lovely decor with lots of greenery and old southern charm. The ceremony site is our favorite part of the venue. First, you walk through the mansion to get to the back patio. Then it opens up to view three wooden archways and a brick aisle. Which is definitely a unique spot for vows! Once the ceremony is through, there is a grand ballroom for the reception. It’s all white with tons of windows to let all the light in. Also, the fireplace is gorgeous for photos and Gab and Addi had it decorated perfectly!
From the stunning venue to lovely decor and florals, Gab and Addi’s day was breathtaking! Gab rocked a form fitting Maggie Sottero strapless dress and was absolutely gorgeous. And wait until you see Addi’s face when he sees her for the first time! After they read their handwritten vows to one another the guests showered them with rose petals as they came back down the aisle. It was just the start of the amazing party that was about to take place! From the tearful toasts to the band rocking the dance floor all night, you won’t want to miss a second of their film below and all the intimate moments in their photographs.
