A Spring Styled Shoot at Carolina Grove

October 16, 2024

I recently had the opportunity to do a spring styled shoot at Carolina Grove in Hillsborough, NC. It was my first time at this stunning venue, and I am eager to photograph a wedding there. Carolina Grove is a beautiful barn located in the woods, and the staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating.

Getting Ready
The bridal suite is spacious and well-lit, with a large en-suite bathroom, surrounded by ample mirrors and seating areas. The full-length mirrors provided are perfect for when the bride is getting into her dress. The chandelier in the suite is truly captivating, and all the fixtures add a charming touch with just the right amount of detail.

Ceremony Options
Carolina Grove offers multiple ceremony locations to choose from. I particularly loved the one at the front of the barn, which gives the feel of a garden wedding. We also featured the frequently used ceremony location on the side of the barn.

Spring at The Grove
We aimed to bring the essence of spring to Carolina Grove, and Florals by Bec beautifully incorporated our pastel color theme. The vibrant blooms complemented the elegant and charming stationery provided by Jones and Lou Paper. I was enchanted by the delicate, understated design of the invitation suites. Every detail exuded grace and thoughtfulness, adding a touch of magic to the occasion. THE GOWNS! The gowns provided by Classic Bride added immensely to the romance of the day. It was amazing to work with Classic Bride for this shoot, and I hope to work with them many times in the future!
