The Sutherland Wedding in Wake Forest

The Sutherland Wedding in Wake Forest | Lacey and Matt

Lacey and Matt’s Sutherland Wedding in Wake Forest was every bit as dreamy as I thought it would be! After taking Lacey’s bridals at the Sutherland a few weeks earlier, I was absolutely giddy for their day to come! Do you remember their sweet and so romantic engagement session on the beach of Hilton Head? Yep, these two are the SWEETEST pair ever. From Lacey’s adorable flower girl and junior bridesmaid getting all teary-eyed, Matt’s shocked First Look at Lacey, and a surprise guest on the dance floor, this day had everything a wedding deserves. Tears, joy, excitement, and of course, their love for one another!
