Chateau Bellevie Intimate Wedding (Carrie + Matthew)

Read all about this georgeous wedding at Chateau Bellevie in Fuquay-Varina, North Carolina from the perspective of a happy bride! I’ve been really excited to share a special surprise for Carrie and Matthew before officially sharing my wedding blog post with their friends and family. I have been working with Christina at Intimate Weddings to share their story with future couples that may be planning a wedding with less than 50 people.

IntimateWeddings.com is a great resource for tips and ideas on the Who, What, When, Where, Why, & How’s on planning an elegant affair with your closest friends and family. Normally I would post Carrie and Matthew’s story here but for now I’m going to refer my readers over to the full story at the link above. Carrie is an excellent writer and I really appreciate the time she put into sharing her experiences for future couples.

Fearrington Village Weddings and Receptions – Pittsboro, NC

Fearrington Village is a perfect location if you’re seeking a southern style wedding and reception. As a wedding photographer I enjoy the huge variety of locations available as backdrops. On site wedding coordinators and staff are top notch and I’ve always had a great experience working with them.

From the intimate gardens to the rustic barn and even the barbecue inspired wedding themes I’m able to set the proper mood and tone for any couple without reservation. Four main locations are offered: The Barn, The Fearrington House, The Garden Terrace and The Old Granary. It’s hard to choose which one is my favorite but regardless which venue couples choose the sprawling white fences and the belted galloway”oreo cows” are a must visit!

Weddings at the Belmont Estate Near Greensboro

If your looking to host your wedding at an elegant mansion style venue near Greensboro then the Belmont Estate is the perfect fit! This wedding venue has been around since 1912 and is located in Reidsville, North Carolina. They can accommodate intimate or larger weddings and can also provide on-site planning if needed.

As a wedding photographer I appreciate the beautiful Greek Revival columns on the front porch to the grand staircase at the entry.They are perfect locations for briadal and family portraits. I also love the adjoining gazebo and entertainment pavilion that allow for “rain or shine” coverage without a tent as the only option.
