Southern Charm

Katie & Ross

Katie and Ross’s wedding at Donovan’s Manor felt like a true reflection of who they are, thoughtful, grounded, and quietly elegant. Designed in a palette of soft blues and crisp whites, the day carried a timeless Southern feel that suited them beautifully.

The two first met on Hinge while Katie was living in Wilmington and preparing to move to Raleigh, where Ross was already settled. After an easy connection over FaceTime, Ross made the drive to meet her in person, fitting it in between weekends away for golf. They brought a blanket to the beach, shared a bottle of cava to go, and talked as the sun set, the kind of beginning that feels effortless from the start.

Now both working as physician assistants, Katie and Ross have built a life centered on care, intention, and steady presence. Their wedding day reflected all of it, understated, genuine, and full of meaning in the quiet, in-between moments.
