The Hargrove Wedding | Dorothy and Roy Park Alumni Center | Raleigh, NC

When looking back on Kiera and Drew’s wedding day in Raleigh, NC, one word stands out: grateful. Their appreciation for every vendor involved and for every guest who came to celebrate was evident throughout the day. That sense of gratitude shaped the experience, creating a wedding that felt thoughtful and centered on what mattered most.

Kiera and Drew were married in July, with their wedding and reception held at the NC State Alumni Center in downtown Raleigh. As a Raleigh wedding photographer and an NC State graduate, documenting a wedding at the Alumni Center carries a personal familiarity and felt full circle! Throughout the day, their focus remained on their covenant, guiding the tone of their celebration from start to finish.

The reception brought so much excitement as Mrs. Wolf surprised guests and filled the dance floor with energy. The evening reflected the couple’s values: intentional, welcoming, and focus on their community. Photographing this summer wedding at the NC State Alumni Center was an honor, and it was a privilege to document Kiera and Drew’s wedding day in Raleigh, NC.
