Earlier today, we saw an amazing real wedding from photographer Martha Manning. Martha has been shooting weddings for over 10 years, with much of that work in and around the Raleigh-Durham area of North Carolina. In talking to her about today’s featured wedding, it dawned on me that this woman has seen A LOT of great weddings, shooting literally hundreds of couples at ceremony and reception venues throughout the area. As a quiet observer on hand to capture the day, an astute photographer can gleaned a lot about a ceremony and reception location and its staff. Yet for some reason, photographers really aren’t tapped into as the amazing treasure chest of knowledge that they are.
Well I am doing some tapping! Over the next several weeks Martha will be joining us on White Thread to feature her six favorite reception venues throughout the Triangle with a real wedding to accompany each. She’ll share her insights into each location including her favorite spots for some “must take” shots at each. Should be fun, stay tuned!





I am so excited for this feature – I hope she selects my venue (Bay 7 at American Tobacco)!
i am very excited to read this! loving this creative and practical idea.
