From her two stunning dresses to a garden in full bloom, everything about Virginia and Hunter’s elegant spring engagement at Duke Mansion felt like a romantic, stylish preview of the celebration to come. These two are getting married at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, and as a Charlotte wedding photographer, photographing their engagement session at Duke Mansion was a personal favorite.

A Love Story Rooted in Durham & Beyond

Virginia grew up in Durham and is a lifelong Duke fan! As a Duke fan myself, you know this was already a match made in heaven! Her dad was the Duke Men’s Basketball team doctor from 2002 to 2017. Hunter proposed with a picnic at Duke Mansion, making it extra meaningful to return for their engagement session. The blooming spring gardens set the perfect backdrop for their laughter, elegance, and sweet familiarity.

Two Dresses, One Effortlessly Stylish Couple

Virginia brought the fashion and the romance in not one, but two incredible dresses — each elegant, fashion-forward, and uniquely her. Hunter looked just as polished, and together they were the definition of classic Southern style with a modern edge. Their chemistry is undeniable, and capturing their quiet moments and big smiles as a Charlotte wedding photographer was a dream.

A Quail Hollow Wedding to Come

Virginia and Hunter are tying the knot at Quail Hollow Club this fall, one of my favorite venues in Charlotte, with Dina Berg Blazek Events! Think refined elegance with a splash of disco ball fun, and a whole lot of heart. From getting ready at the club to dancing the night away, their day is set to be every bit as thoughtful and beautiful as their love story.

Virginia and Hunter, I cannot wait for your wedding day! Photographing your engagement session at Duke Mansion was such a joy! I have no doubt your celebration at Quail Hollow is going to be unforgettable.
