Getting Ready at Seven Paths Manor in Raleigh

Lauren and Bradley’s day at Seven Paths Manor was full of fun, dancing, and laughter.

As their photographer, we honored their love by treating each moment with intention and care, giving the space to really live in the moment.

They decided to get ready separately. Lauren spent the morning with her girls in the room located onsite, popping champagne.

Bradley got ready with his boys at the house on the property. They watched played pool, drank beers, and hung out all morning.

We absolutely love Seven Paths Manor as a Raleigh wedding photographer. It strikes the perfect balance between breathtaking natural beauty and thoughtful, luxury-leaning amenities. These details make every couple’s day feel truly special.

We absolutely adored the cascading floral decor that lined the aisle, particularly the florals surrounding the alter.

Lauren made her entrance in the most unforgettable way, arriving at the ceremony in a stunning horse-drawn carriage that felt straight out of a fairytale. As the guests turned in awe, the moment carried an old-world charm and quiet magic, setting the tone for everything that followed. After their first kiss as newlyweds, the couple climbed back into the carriage and took a joyful loop around the venue together. They soaked in the excitement, waved to loved ones, and savored those first seconds of married life. The celebration continued with fun, candid, and editorial-style wedding portraits alongside their bridal party. These were full of laughter, effortless chemistry, and the kind of energy that makes the day feel timeless and alive.

Cocktail Hour at Seven Paths Manor

After the ceremony, they joined cocktail hour to relax, catch up with guests, and enjoy the start of the celebration. Everyone mingled outdoors, grabbed drinks, and had fun stopping by the Beverage Burros and the Sunshine Slush Italian ice cart. Once it was time for the reception, guests found their seats, the couple made their entrance, and the evening continued with their first dances together. This simple, meaningful moment came before the rest of the night unfolded.

Later in the evening, they stepped away for a few quiet couples portraits together as the sun began to set. The soft, golden light wrapped around the venue and created the most beautiful backdrop for a handful of relaxed, natural moments. It was the perfect way to slow down for a bit, take everything in, and capture the two of them together in that warm sunset glow. Then, they returned to the celebration.
