Harry Potter Themed Wedding at Castle McCulloch with Lauren & Justin
Harry Potter Themed Wedding at Castle McCulloch in Jamestown NC with Lauren & Justin
Most girls grow up dreaming of marrying their Prince or Princess Charming in a castle. It’s just what the fairy tales we grow up show us as the only option. But maybe you fell in love with the world of wizards and witch craft and you still want the castle… but maybe with Harry Potter themes and nerf guns.
(Yup you really should check out the epic nerf gun battle pics that Lauren & Justin’s wedding entailed during the reception!!!)
Castle McCulloch featured so many different outdoor backgrounds for breath taking wedding portraits, from grey stone and white brick castle walls to a crystal clear moat. But what really brought the vision together were the couples choices in elaborate, beautiful table decorations that featured dark green candles in golden holders. And the stark white florals that complimented the dark stones of the castle interior. Lauren & Justin’s wedding screamed magic inside and out.
I really don’t even know where to begin because this was a party that went beyond what I’ve ever seen. I’ve already mentioned how Hogwarts was brought to life and the nerf gun showdown on the dance floor. But nothing could have prepared the guests for one more surprise during the dinner reception… I think I’ll let you scroll to see that one.
This wedding is one of many where the bride and groom are looking for documentary styled photographs of their day that are more moody and romantic than the typical wedding photos we see. I love working with dramatic shadows to create these results. I also feel like the wedding highlighted more earthy tones reminiscent of the Autumn season. But if you know me, you know that I am a sucker for themes and mood boards, and this was one wedding that should definitely go on every fantasy girl’s radar!
