There’s something so special about the quiet moments leading up to a wedding day, and Cameron’s bridal portrait session at The Vines of Lexington in South Carolina was a perfect example of that. Nestled in the middle of a vineyard, this venue offered the most breathtaking setting—especially during golden hour when the soft light washed over the vines, creating a dreamy atmosphere for photos.

We had originally planned to photograph Cameron’s portraits a little earlier, but a rainy day forced us to reschedule. A month later, we finally got to meet up, and the weather couldn’t have been more beautiful. It was such a sweet and intimate time, getting to know Cameron and her mom as they prepared for the big day. The whole session felt so peaceful and personal, and I’m so thankful I could be part of this special moment before the wedding.

As a Durham wedding photographer, I love having the opportunity to travel across North Carolina and beyond, and this bridal session in Lexington, SC, was such a joy. The venue’s landscape—with rows of lush grapevines and the warm glow of the setting sun—created the perfect backdrop for timeless, romantic portraits. It’s moments like these that remind me why I love being a part of this journey with my couples.

Whether you’re planning a wedding in North Carolina or South Carolina, it’s always a privilege to photograph these sweet moments before the big day. Cameron’s bridal portrait session was such a beautiful reminder of the personal, intimate steps leading up to the wedding day.
