The historic Barn of Valhalla in Chapel Hill set a perfect stage for Allison and Charlie’s wedding – a celebration that beautifully merged Southern charm, New Orleans spirit, and the couple’s infectious sense of humor. As their videographer, I had the joy of capturing every delightful moment of their day.
From my drone’s perspective, the venue was a stunning sight: weathered barn wood contrasting with bursts of yellow flowers that dotted the landscape. Sunflowers, bright roses, and cheerful billy balls created a vibrant atmosphere that matched the couple’s sunny personalities.
The day’s emotional highlights began with the first looks. Allison’s father’s expression shifted from nervous excitement to pure joy upon seeing his daughter. Then came Charlie’s reaction to his bride – starting with his signature goofy grin before melting into genuine emotion.
Their outdoor ceremony under ancient oaks showcased their personalities beautifully. Charlie’s vows included. My drone captured the scene from above as guests gathered, the late afternoon light creating a natural spotlight on the proceedings.
The celebration kicked into high gear with a traditional New Orleans second line parade.The newlyweds danced their way to the reception, twirling napkins while guests joined the joyous procession! Through my lens, I captured not just the big moments, but all the small ones that made their celebration uniquely theirs – a true reflection of their love story, told with plenty of laughter and New Orleans flair.
