Anna & Austin’s Wedding Day at The Hartwood

On June 14, beneath a sun-drenched Carolina sky, Anna and Austin promised each other forever at The Hartwood in Pine Level, NC. Their wedding was the kind of day photographers dream about—filled with genuine moments, personal touches, and so much love.

Surrounded by their closest family and friends, Anna and Austin created a celebration that felt intimate and deeply meaningful. The Hartwood’s blend of rustic elegance and natural beauty set the perfect backdrop, with its open pastures, whitewashed wood, and rolling fields of summer green.

One of the most touching moments of the day was their first touch—a quiet, emotional pause before the ceremony.

Their ceremony was sincere—just as they envisioned—highlighting the things that matter most: love, commitment, and family.

As the sunset, their reception came alive with laughter, southern comfort food, and dancing. Guests celebrated with heartfelt toasts, shared stories, and endless joy.

Anna and Austin—thank you for trusting me to tell your story. Your wedding was full of grace, authenticity, and love, and it was an honor to capture every detail.

Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Nixon! May your journey ahead be filled with peace, purpose, and a love that continues to grow stronger with every season.
