Kirsten and Dylan’s Spring Wedding at the Longhouse in Stokesdale North Carolina Was a Beautiful and Whimsical Celebration of Their Love and commitment.

We have had the pleasure of capturing many beautiful weddings throughout our careers, but Kirsten and Dylan’s Spring Wedding at The Longhouse in Stokesdale, North Carolina was truly unforgettable. The Longhouse is a stunning venue. We always love working with Kirsten and Dylan’s day-of coordinator, Tanya from Blueprints Coordination, who did an exceptional job bringing everything together.

The Special Touches

Kirsten looked stunning in her fairy-tale wedding gown from Magnolia Bride. The gown was covered in sparkles and draped off of her shoulders. The groomsmen dressed in classic black suits, providing a handsome and sophisticated contrast to Kirsten’s whimsical dress. The bridesmaids wore unique green dresses that added a pop of color to the wedding party. Susan Daly of Daly Floral Design filled Kirsten’s bouquet with fragrant purple florals, including stunning irises.

The Traditions

The Longhouse offers a beautiful, rustic setting for weddings, and Kirsten and Dylan’s Spring Wedding was no exception. Before the ceremony, Kirsten shared a first look with her parents and then with Dylan. Beautiful, happy tears abounded! The venue’s natural beauty was on display. Dogwoods and redbuds were in full bloom. We took the couple to capture photographs around the property right after their first look.

Beautiful purple flowers and lush greenery were draped over the arbor in front of a large oak tree. It made the perfect backdrop for their ceremony. During the processional, a very special ring BEARer brought down their wedding rings! Loving family and friends looked on as Kirsten and Dylan exchanged their vows and celebrated their new marriage. After the I-Do’s were said, we gathered the family for formal portraits. Since it was Easter weekend, Dylan and Kirsten created a fun Easter egg hunt for all of the children in attendance.

The Celebration

After the ceremony, the guests found their seats in the spacious House, beautifully decorated with string lights and rustic details. The indoor space provided a warm and elegant space for their reception, accommodating their guests comfortably with family-style seating. The tables were filled with classic bud vases full of purple and white flowers. Kirsten’s brother also treated the new couple to a special song he wrote just for them. Tanya worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make sure everything ran smoothly, from the speeches to the first dance.

We're Josh & Alisha

Just two lovebirds, enjoying everyday life.

Photographers. Artists. Creatives. Parents to two. Nerds. Foodies. Lovers. Friends.

We have been friends since 2006, married since 2008, and capturing memories through photography since 2010. The years of experience in all three make us uniquely qualified to tell your budding love story. If the years have taught us anything, its that fulfilling, long-lasting marriages have a foundation of friendship, and are built with joy - and perhaps quite a few carbs! 

We strive to help you feel confident during your big day, and not awkward or stressed - so you can look back on joyful memories that tell your love story.

MORE ABOUT US

Hi! I'm Alisha!

I'm so excited you're here! 

In addition to being a lady-boss photographer, I am a wife, a mom, a teacher and a follower of Jesus. Those things are the center of everything about who I am, what I do, and how I do it. That means I believe in how important family is, whether you are just starting your own, or are celebrating all of those special milestones. Josh and I have been married for over 12 years and photographing weddings and families for over 10 of those years. Our style has evolved over time, but we love capturing images that are bright, colorful, and tell the most important story - yours!

When we are not shooting, I love going on adventures with our two beautiful girls, trying new recipes, or catching up on my favorite shows with my hubby.

MORE ABOUT US

Hi! I'm Josh!

I want to capture your day!

Having the opportunity to live in a town as beautiful as Kernersville, NC is great. Being able to be here with Alisha is even better. I've been married over twelve years to the love of my life and for most of that time we have worked closely as wedding photographers. Because of this, we have a unique outlook on the wedding experience. Having the opportunity to find the joy and love in that special day and share it with you and your family and friends is the best thing about what I do. That's why I never miss getting a photo of the groom's face when he sees his bride for the first time.

When I don't have a camera in my hands, I enjoy coffee dates and car-sushi with my bride, board games before bed, and binge watching Netflix.
