AUBREY MCNEILL + WALKER WHITLEY

Photographer: Sayer Photography Wedding Coordinator: Bailey Grinde, Pinehurst Resort

Aubrey and Walker met at a time when both felt life was far from easy. But when they were ready for each other, the universe seemed to bring them together. The bride honored those cosmic forces by planning an outdoor wedding on the hallowed ground where she was raised, incorporating the colors of fall, and involving the talents of friends and family whenever possible.

Aubrey was walked down the forest path-turned-aisle by her father and 6-year-old son. And though Walker already loved Triston as his own, vows written by each member of the new party of three made clear their intent to walk through their new life hand-in-hand.
