The Umstead Hotel and Spa is a gorgeous location for a wedding! The trails through the gardens and along the water are perfect for photographs and are simply breathtaking. Rebecca and John had a timeless Jewish ceremony overlooking the water with beautiful white flowers adorning the aisle and huppah. Not only did Rebecca look amazing in her long sleeve, lace wedding dress but John rocked a velvet suit Jacket! We love when Groom’s put just as much effort into their attire as the bride does. Don’t you?

Rebecca’s dress was gorgeous and like we  said we love the lace sleeves. Also, we love that for the reception she could take the sleeves off and her elegant wedding dress turned into a strapless party dress! The perfect way to get the best of both worlds without having a complete outfit change. Keep scrolling to see it!

The band was awesome and everyone had a blast! The Umstead Hotel and Spa is a gorgeous venue and we love capturing weddings here. Not only are they beautiful but the flow of the day is always great and we always have wonderful couples to work with!
