A horse lovers dream wedding


As a wedding photographer with a background in the horse world, I’ve had the privilege of capturing some truly unique and unforgettable weddings. But this one? It will always hold a special place in my heart.

Set against the beautiful backdrop of Southern Pines, this intimate wedding was everything I adore—love, authenticity, and, of course, horses. The bride, a talented trainer, wanted to incorporate her beloved horse, Gunnar, as well as her dog into the big day, and I couldn't have been more thrilled.


There’s something about the bond between a horse and rider that’s almost magical, and watching her ride Gunnar down the aisle was nothing short of breathtaking. It was a true testament to who she is—not just as a bride, but as a person who lives and breathes her passion for horses. What made it even more special was how her barn friends lovingly prepped Gunnar for the big day, ensuring he was picture-perfect for their portraits. There’s a deep sense of community in the horse world, and you could feel that warmth and support all around.


The ceremony was held on a private property in Southern Pines, a serene and stunning location that made for an unforgettable setting. Surrounded by close friends and family, the couple exchanged vows in an intimate ceremony that perfectly reflected their love for each other—and their love for the horses that are such an important part of their lives.


I feel incredibly fortunate to have been part of this day, capturing moments that blend two of the most important things in life: love and horses. The wedding was a true reflection of this couple’s passion, and it’s definitely one of my all-time favorites.


Thank you to the beautiful couple, Gunnar, and all their amazing friends for allowing me to be part of this incredible day. 💕🐴
