The Carolina Inn is a boutique hotel located on the UNC Chapel Hill campus (for 90 years!). This historic hotel is a stunning venue for a wedding and reception. It offers so much charm and natural light and has a variety of options for a ceremony. Jocelyn and Dan got married a few weeks ago (NYE weekend) and the day was just a dream! They were married inside the Chancellor’s Ballroom and had the reception in the Old Well Ballroom. The couple even had signature drinks made, the Bride having a Dirty Martini and the Groom having a Basil Haydon Old Fashion. The colors were burgundy, white, and greenery; also the rooms were still decorated for Christmas. Jocelyn and Dan decided to do a first look to maximize their photo time since the sun sets around 5pm in the winter. It was PERFECT. I literally set them up and had no real direction through most of their photos! It was inspiring that they were so in the moment and really took it in while with each other before the ceremony. We ended the day with a sparkler exit outside the gorgeous inn!
