Alexis + Ben’s Wedding at The Cornealius Properties | Raleigh Wedding Photographer

Nestled in the heart of North Carolina, The Cornealius Properties provided the perfect backdrop for Alexis and Ben’s wedding—a day full of love, warmth, and intentional beauty. This venue, known for its historic charm and rolling countryside views, perfectly matched their vision: timeless, elegant, and deeply personal.

From the first look to their sparkler exit, their day was filled with emotion, gentle joy, and connection. Every detail—handwritten vows, heirloom florals, and heartfelt toasts—felt like a reflection of their story.

A Venue Steeped in Southern Charm

The Cornealius Properties is one of North Carolina’s hidden gems when it comes to wedding venues. Its whitewashed barns, wide-open fields, and restored historic estate offer a mix of rustic charm and refined elegance. Alexis and Ben embraced the space beautifully, letting its natural textures and warm light shape the atmosphere of the day.

Ceremony guests were seated beneath the soft shade of oaks, and as the sun filtered through the leaves, Alexis walked down the aisle to Ben with an undeniable sense of calm and joy.

Details That Told Their Story

Alexis’s gown featured delicate lacework and a silhouette that moved like poetry. She paired it with simple pearl accents, keeping her look classic yet understated. Ben wore a tailored navy suit and a soft blush tie to match the bridal bouquet—an artful blend of garden roses, eucalyptus, and local blooms that echoed the Southern summer palette.

Their color scheme—ivory, dusty rose, and sage—was woven throughout the day: in their custom signage, floral arrangements, and even the signature cocktails named after their pups.

Moments to Remember

Some favorite moments from the day included:

  • A private first look in the garden, where they read each other letters before the ceremony.

  • Their tearful exchange of vows during golden hour.

  • A reception filled with laughter, dancing, and surprise karaoke from the groom’s college friends.

Alexis and Ben prioritized intimacy and connection above all else. Every part of their day—from the slow, intentional timeline to the cozy seating lounges they created for guests—felt like a celebration of presence and love.
