Karen and Onan had such a beautiful wedding day! They were married at the Country Club of Johnston County in Smithfield, North Carolina. Karen and Onan were blessed with perfect weather on their September 24th wedding. It was sunny & 75 degrees the entire day, besides a hint of sprinkles during the reception. 

Karen got ready at the Country Inn and Suites by Radisson in Smithfield, where they had their hair and makeup professionally done by Radiant Beauty Salon. During our time at the hotel, I captured an array of detail shots to showcase all of the special pieces of their wedding day. We also took some fun photos of the bridesmaids while Karen finished up getting ready. Once Karen was fully dressed in her gorgeous wedding gown from Sola Creations Boutique, she did a first look with her bridesmaids. Tears were shed! She looked absolutely stunning in her sparkly, white gown.

Karen and Onan had a beautiful ceremony surrounded by their friends and family. When they had their first kiss, fireworks went off in the distance. How sweet is that?! 

I loved the reception that Karen & Onan had as well. Instead of having typical reception dancing, they had games! It was so fun seeing all of the guests interacting with each other and laughing all night long. Onan played guitar and sang to Karen, which made my heart melt! To end the night, Karen and Onan had a private first dance together followed by a fun sparkler exit.

Thank you to all of the vendors that helped bring their dream day to life!

It was an honor getting to know Karen and Onan over the past few months as we planned their wedding timeline, shot their engagement photos, and emailed back and forth extensively. I am so happy for the two of them! They make an absolutely beautiful couple!!
