Cristina and Jaxson: March 13, 2021 at Caffe Luna

Congratulations Cristina and Jaxson! They were married on Saturday at downtown Raleigh’s charming Caffe Luna. It was a beautiful intimate wedding. Jaxson was a bit nervous beforehand, but seemed to relax during the ceremony. Cristina was a gorgeous bride! They were very happy and excited to start their married life together. It was an honor to serve as their wedding officiant and I wish them a life together that is filled with goodness and joy!

The staff at Caffe Luna was wonderful and efficient without ever being intrusive.

Bri Hensley of Bri By Design Weddings & Events did a beautiful job coordinating this wedding. She’s great to work with!

Empris and Demoine: February 28, 2021 at home in Durham, North Carolina

Empris and Demoine were married in a small but lovely wedding ceremony at home with just a few family members. They are a very sweet couple. Demoine was a little nervous but he made it through! I wish them much happiness in their married life!

Jennifer and Richard: February 21, 2021 at Castle McCullough

Yesterday I married Jennifer and Richard at Castle McCullough in Jamestown, North Carolina. I don’t have pictures yet so I hope to be able to post some later. I just had to say what a wonderful wise couple they are. It’s easy to see their deep love for each other. I especially appreciate the way they included Jennifer’s, and now Richard’s daughter, Makayla in their ceremony. Richard made vows to Makayla as well as to Jennifer and placed a lovely little locket around her neck so she always has her own special memento of the day. It was very touching for everyone there. It was a moment to treasure having this family officially come into being right there in front of me. I love what I do. After more than twenty years I am happy to say every wedding matters. Every wedding is special and precious and this is what struck me as most special about the wedding of Jennifer and Richard.

 Many thanks to wedding planner Hannah Mills for a great job!
