Erin and Joe at the State Club in Raleigh, NC

Ok so I have a LOT of photos to share from the wedding of Erin Duke and Joe Dillon! It was literally the perfect day for an outdoor wedding and everyone had such a good time! The ceremony and reception were both held at the State Club in Raleigh and as far as everyone here in Raleigh was concerned, this was THE event of the weekend (royal wedding schmedding!! Kate and William had nothing on these two!!)

Here are some highlights from a fun-filled wedding day:

The day began with hair and make up at Jolie Salon.

Such a cute moment with the flower girl, Alaina, before the ceremony. I caught her giving the thumbs up to someone!!! (below)

Joe enters the ceremony (below) with his father and minister Owen Barrow (also a Broughton High School Alum)

Sister of the Bride, Kelly (above).

Alaina was so cute as flower girl…at the end of the aisle she realized she had not tossed many flowers so she tossed them right at Joe (below)…SUCH a cute moment!

Owen Barrow did such a great job with the ceremony and made it very personalized to Erin and Joe, relating marriage to one of the many running races the two participate in.

Introducing…Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Dillon!

I caught someone else’s strobe on this photo for a really cool effect! (below)

There was a lot of photo-taking by the wolf statues at the State Club!

The Magic Pipers ROCKED!!! They really put on one hell of a show!

These boys were SUPERSTARS on the dance floor!!! I’ve never seen two kids have so much fun at a wedding!! They even started a couple congo lines and put on their own shows during the band’s break!

You can book them for your next event 😉 haha

A sweet moment between sisters before the big exit!

Congrats Joe and Erin!!! The couple is currently honeymooning in Italy!! Thanks so much for having me play a part in your wedding day! I hope you enjoy reliving all the memories forever!

Another big thanks to Associate Photographer, Rachael Hyde (below), who joined me for the day all the way from the Outer Banks and did such a great job! Her photos are marked above and check her out below charming these little guys!! Thanks so much Rachael!
