From a serendipitous meeting during a crowd-pleasing chorus of Mr. Brightside to a proposal tucked away in Reynolda Gardens, Kaley and Logan’s story has always been filled with sweet surprises. Their wedding day captured by SAMANTHA BROOKE PHOTOGRAPHY at THE FINCH HOUSE in North Carolina was no exception—a heartfelt celebration wrapped in timeless style, coastal accents, and meaningful personal details.
Kaley and Logan first met at a wedding, instantly connecting during an impromptu singalong. Months later, a simple Instagram DM reconnected them, and their first date quickly turned into a love story of inseparability. When Logan proposed in Reynolda Gardens—right outside the restaurant where they had their first date—it was not only deeply sentimental, but also a beautifully orchestrated surprise, complete with hidden photographers and a family-filled dinner that followed.
Florals in White and Blue
AMBER HARDIN brought Kaley’s floral vision to life with a lush mix of white and blue blooms. Trusting her florist fully, Kaley only sent a handful of Pinterest images before giving Amber full creative freedom. The result was a soft, romantic design that reflected the classic charm of the day.
On the morning of the wedding, Kaley spent time with her bridesmaids and close family, sipping mimosas and reminiscing on sweet memories.
A Relaxed Morning Full of Joy
On the morning of the wedding, Kaley spent time with her bridesmaids and close family, sipping mimosas and reminiscing on sweet memories. She intentionally slowed down the pace, soaking in every quiet moment before the celebration began—a decision she says helped ground her before the emotional whirlwind of the day.
A First Look Full of Feeling
Kaley and Logan shared a private first look before the ceremony where they exchanged personal vows. This intimate moment allowed them to connect away from the crowd and offered a chance to speak from the heart before repeating their promises at the altar.
Elegant, Coastal-Inspired Fashion
Kaley’s bridal journey wasn’t simple—after trying over a hundred dresses, she found the one at THE MAGNOLIA BRIDE in Kernersville: an Eddy K gown that brought her and her mother to the verge of tears. She paired the look with earrings from SJ BAILEY CO., and her bridesmaids wore coordinating gowns in soft hues. Logan and his family, loyal UNC fans, were right at home with the couple’s blue-toned palette.

The couple used blank playing cards as a unique guest book idea, asking loved ones to write notes they later read together on their honeymoon.
A Ceremony With Legacy and Heart
The couple exchanged personal vows at the altar in a touching ceremony officiated by the pastor from Logan’s grandmother’s church—a special nod to a woman who meant so much to their family. A unity candle lighting and gentle white florals added reverence and romance to the setting.
Cocktail Hour in a Historic Home
Guests were welcomed into THE FINCH HOUSE, a historic estate built in 1921, for a cozy cocktail hour filled with music from the ’60s and ’70s. The couple used blank playing cards as a unique guest book idea, asking loved ones to write notes they later read together on their honeymoon.
A Personal and Playful Reception
Kaley envisioned a reception full of personal moments, and her family delivered. One of the most memorable was a surprise recorded speech from her best friend Sandra in Sweden, played during the toasts. Guests dined alongside hand-painted oyster shell decor and later enjoyed a cake with three custom flavors—chai, strawberry, and Tahitian vanilla bean—cut to the tune of “Sugar Sugar.”
A Dreamy Honeymoon Escape
After the festivities, the newlyweds headed to Secrets Tides in Punta Cana, where they relaxed in a romantic swim-out suite and relived every joyful memory over mojitos by the pool.
Every part of Kaley and Logan’s day—from the music and florals to the thoughtful surprises—reflected their joyful spirit and close-knit love story. The celebration was classic, coastal-inspired, and deeply personal—just like their journey together.
