Haleigh & Ryan | The Cotton Room Durham Wedding

Haleigh and Ryan had a gorgeous wedding this November in Durham, North Carolina. Both of them live in Boone, but chose to get married in the triangle to be closer to their families. For their venue, Haleigh and Ryan chose to have both their ceremony and reception at the Cotton Room. The Cotton Room is a dream come true for the bride looking to get married in an urban rustic location. It’s exposed beams, weathered brick interior, and giant windows make these photographers swoon as well. Haleigh wore a beautifully fitting lace gown while her bridesmaids wore elegant long red dresses. She and Ryan were wed in front of the fireplace that evening. The fireplace was loaded with flickering candles, while drapes and tall florals framed them at the alter. After their ceremony, the entire floor was opened up to reveal a wonderful open space. Shelley from the Cotton Room did a fabulous job coordinating and decorating the reception area with her crew. Guests sipped delicious signature cocktails in honor of the bride and groom, and soon, it was time for dancing! Our friend at Boone Beats got the party hoppin’ and it stayed full swing all through the end. As the party drew to an end, Haleigh and Ryan made their exit through a sparkler sendoff. Haleigh and Ryan, thank you so much for asking us to photograph this beautiful day! May your marriage be merry and bright as you celebrate your first Christmas as husband and wife. ~ Shelley and Josh Hartman, Raleigh – Durham Urban-Rustic Wedding Photographers
