Some weddings stay with you long after the last song plays—and this was absolutely one of them. From the moment we began working with Kory and Alston, it was clear that this day was going to be something special. Narrowing down favorite photos was nearly impossible because every moment reflected genuine joy, deep love, and the kind of connection that turns clients into lifelong friends.
Married on September 27, Kory and Alston’s love for one another is truly adorable and effortless. Adding an extra layer of sweetness to the day was their beloved pup, Champs, who proudly joined in the celebration and soaked up every bit of the excitement right alongside them. Watching these two begin their marriage with their best furry friend by their side was nothing short of heartwarming.
The venue was beautifully transformed with timeless florals—white roses, soft baby’s breath, and striking blue delphinium—perfectly accented with Carolina blue details that complemented the bride’s eyes flawlessly. The color palette felt elegant, classic, and deeply personal, bringing their vision to life in the most stunning way.
And because no true Carolina love story would be complete without a little Tar Heel pride, the night took an unforgettable turn when UNC’s own Rameses made a surprise appearance. As die-hard Carolina fans, Kory and Alston danced the night away with friends, family, and the iconic mascot himself—creating memories that will be talked about for years to come.
We are so grateful to have been part of such a meaningful and joy-filled celebration. Kory and Alston, thank you for trusting Whispering Pines Venue with your big day. Your love, laughter, and Carolina spirit made this wedding truly unforgettable.
