Risa Daniels & Matt Isabel

“For solo shots of just the groom and me, we felt very comfortable and at ease,” Risa says. “There was limited direction, which was nice, it felt like she captured more natural images that didn’t feel so staged. The most important part is that the photos are stunning.”

The Picture-Perfect Durham Wedding Weekend 

Risa and Matt strolled through downtown while Nikki photographed them at local landmarks like The Durham Hotel and a parking deck rooftop with a view of the skyline. Afterward, Risa’s father officiated their wedding ceremony surrounded by loved ones and twinkle lights at Bay 7. They danced the rest of the night to a live band, and even performed the horah – a Jewish celebratory dance in which the bride and groom are lifted in chairs and danced around in a circle.
