A Colorful Gaines Estate Summer Wedding
We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful summer day at The Gaines Estate to celebrate Haley and Keith’s wedding.
The sun was shining, the flowers were bursting with color, and everything about the day just felt beautiful—from the peaceful morning in the bridal suite to dancing the night away.
But what made this one extra special? Haley is a photographer herself, which meant she came into the day with a clear vision—and we were so honored to bring that vision to life.
She wanted something timeless with a little wow—and this day was all of that and more.
The Gaines Estate: A Favorite for a Reason
There are so many reasons we love photographing weddings at The Gaines Estate.
The historic home has so much charm, and the natural light is a dream. The whole property feels peaceful and private—like a little hidden gem tucked right in the heart of Fayetteville. It’s just a bonus that it’s right beside Pies and Pints for a pizza on the ride home!
One of our favorite spots? That gorgeous bridal suite.
With soft light, neutral walls, a full bathroom, and a massive mirror, it gives you space to relax, soak in the moment with your girls, and feel totally pampered while getting ready. It also makes the prettiest backdrop for those quiet getting-ready photos that end up being some of your most meaningful.
A Vision with Heart
Haley’s creative eye made planning the details extra fun. She chose mixed-pattern pink bridesmaid dresses that gave the whole bridal party so much personality and movement—and her colorful florals tied everything together beautifully.
It was the perfect balance of elegant and fun. And it felt so her.
We always say the most beautiful weddings are the ones that feel true to you, and this one did exactly that.

- The way they both reacted during their first look and private vows on the balcony. Tears and laughter and so precious!
- The way Keith looked at her during the ceremony.
- The sunshine pouring in for portraits.
- And the way the two of them danced and laughed all night like they were the only ones in the room.
