Clay & Catherine met in the fall of 2014 at Carolina Point YoungLife Camp. But their friendship didn’t really start to grow until the spring of 2015 when Clay was placed on the same YoungLife team as Catherine. They spent the next two years getting to know each other and doing ministry alongside one another.

In the fall of 2016, a group of friends planned a day in the Blue Ridge Mountains. One by one, they all canceled leaving Clay & Catherine the only two still free! “It was like our first date without us even realizing it” Clay said during their engagement photos. Over the next few years, their friendship grew into dating & finally, Clay asked Catherine to be his bride!

These two were SO ready to be husband & wife. Their First Look was full of joy & tears! Their ceremony was filled with true & reverent worship! Their families & bridal party rejoiced over these two becoming one in a way we have never seen. What an absolute honor to have had the front row seat of this new covenant!

Catherine & Clay, we count ourselves truly blessed to have had the honor of documenting your wedding day. You both gave us so much grace, trusted us, & most of all we love that you have turned into dear friends! We love you both!
