Whitney Davis
I love a good celebration and the sense of belonging when people come together for a common purpose. From gathering around the table, to toasting job opportunities and new homes, to baking fresh chocolate chip cookies and enjoying a new season of a tv show, I love getting to share in that joy.
I’m married to the best guy, Michael, and we welcomed our son, Alden, to our family in July 2019! We also have a fur-pup, Barley, who we absolutely adore. I’m obsessed with traveling, attempting to keep houseplants alive, eating at restaurants, cooking a new recipe exactly as written, and choosing between 100 paint samples I’ve taped to the wall for house projects.
I love so many things about a wedding but what I adore most is the beginning of a marriage. The reception is a fun, beautiful, and curated party but the ceremony is the reason for it all. It’s a reminder of why I do what I do when a couple is so in love, making forever promises to one another, surrounded by their best friends and closest family in a picturesque setting. On wedding days, I am honored to see a raw, emotional, and very real glimpse into the lives of our couples. I love that I get to experience their story during the planning process and help them bring it to life in one thoughtfully designed and authentic day. When that day comes, the bride, groom, and their loved ones, get to live fully in each moment without a single stress or worry.
My Favorite Venues in the Triangle are: The Parlour at Manns Chapel, The Bradford, and The Carolina Inn.
