The wedding we’re about to feature is so full of pretty! In an intimate residential venue in Raleigh, Sydney + Adam exchanged vows. Jen B and Rachelle had a wonderful time working with Sydney and her bridal party on the morning of their wedding. Sydney was glowing all day and we adore her loose, textured updo and smokey eye makeup! Enjoy the photos below by Carrie Coleman Photography.
Real MYD Wedding in Greenville, NC: Megan + Chase
We love holiday weddings, but this one in particular is very special and near and dear to my heart. Our bride, Megan, is actually a friend of mine that I’ve known since she was a baby…literally. Her big sister, Jessica, and I went to elementary school on up through college together (Go Heels)! Megan and my younger sister, Nikki, went to school together and were roommates at N.C. State, as well.
While I was sorely disappointed that I couldn’t be at the wedding at Rock Springs Center in Greenville to work with Megan personally for her big day {I WAS able to do her bridal portraits, though!} I am so thrilled that we had Brenna on site to pamper Megan + 10! Everyone looked absolutely stunning with airbrush makeup and they all beamed in their photos by Dana Jo Photography. Enjoy more below!
Real MYD Wedding in Angier, NC: Lisa + Wes
We are excited to feature Lisa and Wes’s wedding today at Barclay Villa in Angier, NC! Lisa was so sweet and composed in every meeting and we just thoroughly enjoyed her calm demeanor. We’d love to hear how much you love her textured updo and bright, clean bridal makeup!
Please enjoy these beautiful photos from the talented Catherine Ann Photography!
Real MYD Raleigh Wedding: Katie + Nick
Our bride, Katie, was just beaming her whole wedding day! She was such a pleasure to work with and we love her half up, half down hair style and clean, natural makeup that she chose while working with our talented mua/stylist Kristin. We wish Katie + Nick the very best and look forward to working with Katie again in the future!

Sweet Violet Bride Editorial Feature for MYD
Once in a while our breath is literally taken away by images that photographers get back to us featuring our work. As you can imagine, this is an awesome feeling and gives us much pride in the work we do. We were fortunate enough to meet and collaborate with Heather Payne on a styled shoot set against a Biltmore backdrop. We were so impressed with the vendors that came together for this outdoor shoot as well as Heather because she shoots everything in FILM. Of course, that means things could go amazingly great (because she’d have to be THAT good) or less than favorable because we’d only get one shot at pulling it all off.
After you see the images below and the spread in Sweet Violet Bride that was featured in this month’s edition of their magazine, we’re sure you’ll agree with us that Heather definitely pulled it off and gave us more than we could have asked for with this breathtaking styled garden shoot! Stay tuned for more images from the shoot tomorrow, too! Enjoy!

Real MYD Chapel Hill Wedding – Kelsey + Charlie
Kelsey was an absolute joy to work with! From the very beginning we enjoyed having her come in for her bridal portraits and sessions leading up to the wedding day. It was very obvious that her wedding at the Carolina Club in Chapel Hill was going to be full of laughter and love. We wish Kelsey and Charlie all the best and cannot wait to see what the future holds for this lovely couple!
MYD Real Indian Wedding: Ketu + Hao
Ketu and Hao were wed in an Indian ceremony at Goels Plaza Banquet & Conference Center. We love all the vibrant colors used and adore Ketu’s saris that she wore both for the ceremony and reception. We wish Ketu and Hao all the best!
