ELIZABETH GAY + HARRISON COZART

Photographer: Sayer Photography Videographer: Twenty-One Films Wedding Coordinator: Michele Soderquist, Pinehurst Resort Harrison channeled The Notebook vibes, proposing to Elizabeth in a canoe on the pond at her grandparent’s home in Sneads Ferry, North Carolina. Both Tar Heel natives — Elizabeth from Sanford and Harrison from Raleigh — the two grew up visiting the Sandhills for family, tennis and golf.

Familiar with the beautiful, historic area, it’s no surprise the couple chose the Village Chapel for their wedding and the Members Club of the Pinehurst Resort for their reception. Though the Cozarts’ original wedding date was in June 2020, they postponed the event to November. But the couple couldn’t have been happier with the change. The weather was still warm, but the church flickered in the fall evening, and the resort’s Christmas decorations were a welcome, magical touch.
