Nella & Tyler

LET'S GET MARRIED, THEN GET HOT DOGS.

 

Bride and groom toasting with drinks at a NYC street corner near a One Way sign on their wedding day.

 

With snow clouds gathering overhead, Nella and Tyler exchanged vows during an intimate courthouse wedding in January surrounded by their closest family. The afternoon unfolded with portraits throughout Raleigh and a celebration that prioritized connection over tradition. From wandering through the city where they met to stopping by Madre, the groom's restaurant, the day reflected the places and people already woven into their everyday lives.


Nella's tailored suit layered over lace felt equal parts modern and romantic, perfectly suited for a stylish courthouse celebration. She completed the look with her own hair, makeup, and hand-crafted bouquet, lending the day a sense of individuality and intention. The evening concluded with an intimate dinner surrounded by family, a thoughtful ending to their day.
