Moreno Wedding | Raven Rock State Park

Where to begin… this post has been brewing for a really long time! let me introduce the Morenos 🙂

Get ready ya’ll this one is going to be a long one! My awesome big sis – thanks Ash! – put Emily and I in touch in September while she was in full wedding planning mode and was searching for a photographer. After sitting down with Emily over coffee and hearing about all the wedding details – outdoor ceremony, falcons, hiking… – I knew this wedding was going to be nothing short of amazing! But before we get to all that wedding goodness I want to kick things off with their beautiful engagement photos!

With all of our busy schedules, we weren’t able to nail down a time for their engagement session until a week before the wedding. Even though Emily and Cruz had decided to have their ceremony at Raven Rock State Park they wanted to also do their engagement photos there as well since they had stumbled across a new location while they were out hiking one day and it was absolutely gorgeous – water, woods, fall leaves – you can tell from the photos above it is beautiful! We met one early Sunday morning and even though it was a little cold, super early in the morning and we had to hike about a quarter of a mile on a horse trail – beware the land mines! – these two made the whole experience a lot of fun. These two seriously never stopped laughing!

After their engagement session I became super excited for the wedding. Not only are they a fun couple but they are so laid back and easy going I knew this wedding was going to be a great time – and I was not disappointed! Their wedding day went perfectly and I am so excited I finally get to share with you some of my favorite images with you all 🙂

I have to pause here and give some love to my second shooter, Ann Tobler of Miss Jee’s Photography. She is wicked talented 🙂 She got all of these great shots of the men before the ceremony and a lot of the shots you see below at the reception. I would not have been able to deliver such a robust gallery without her.

Emily and Cruz had a falcon fly their rings down the aisle – that was probably the coolest thing I have ever seen at a wedding.

gah! These images are my absolute favorite 🙂 after the ceremony ended, Emily, Cruz and I hopped in a park rangers truck and headed to this trail. We had to hike down 160 steps and Emily did it in her wedding dress! It doesn’t even look like we were in North Carolina. love love love!

I have had a similar project pinned for too long - and with the pool finally open I realized we have lots to carry without adding little mans towel into the mix 🤣🤣 towels from walmart, hooded dragon peeker from @designsbyjuju and looottsss of YouTube tutorials later we now have a dragon hooded towel poncho perfect for these long summer days by the water ❤️
