Alzebeth & Tony - St. Mary Magdalene Catholic Church & Haywood Hall Wedding Preview - Wake County NC Photographer

Every wedding professional across the country knew that this past Saturday was going to be a huge day for weddings. 10/10/20. What a cool date! And one that every groom should be able to remember come anniversary time. From the beginning, we knew that it was a date that we would definitely book, and we ended up getting no less than 50 requests to photograph weddings on this day. So when we were driving to meet Alzebeth and Tony for the our first sit-down meeting after chatting with them at a wedding show last last August, we knew we wanted to REALLY like them. And ya’ll, they blew us away from the first interaction. We knew they were a perfect fit for us.

Alzebeth has a self-professed type-A personality. But it’s in all the best ways possible. She has an amazing way of being aware of all the small details, but also being able to be present in the moment. The threat of rain was ever-present throughout the day on Saturday, but Alzebeth never let that worry keep her from having fun. In fact, I don’t think I even once heard her ask what the radar/forecast was looking like.

And Tony… Oh Tony! He’s the type of guy that every mother wishes for their daughter to marry. He’s funny, smart, and kind. He knows just how to show his love for Alzebeth. He’s surrounded himself with energetic friends and his family is fun to be around as well.

2020 has not been a straight-forward year when it comes to weddings, and Alzebeth and Tony’s wedding plans changed more times than any couple should have to worry through. But these two were troopers through it all! They ended up with two separate ceremonies on Saturday, surrounded by 50 of their closest friends and family members. We enjoyed working with some of the industry’s best and it was definitely one of our favorite wedding days of 2020!
