Carrie & Dakota's Classic Market Hall Celebration

Updated: Jul 3

Carrie Bohnert started dating Dakota Fearn in March 2021. When they decided to tie the knot, they picked North Carolina to be the site of their classic celebration. Market Hall proved to be the ideal spot, and the pair enlisted some stellar NC wedding vendors - including Photographs by Stephanie - to help them pull off a memorable day.

Carrie and Dakota toasted to three years of love at Market Hall. Dakota remembers being struck by Carrie's bright, friendly smile and engaging nature. Dakota popped the question in fall 2022 during a picnic in Raleigh, North Carolina.

Carrie's precious memories led the couple to choose Market Hall as the venue for both their ceremony and reception which took place on March 2, 2024. Their classic garden wedding was captured by Photographs by Stephanie.

Stephanie was wonderful! She did their engagement photos as well as their wedding, and we loved working with her and how the photos turned out.

Locally, Stephanie is known for her exceptional eye for wedding portraits. Stephanie captured Carrie and Dakota on the cobblestone streets surrounding Market Hall, which provided a picturesque setting for their wedding photos.

The couple incorporated elements of their homes states in their reception design.

Linens, china and chairs from Curated Events and Market Hall helped complete the spring garden theme the couple envisioned for their reception.

Carrie and Dakota filled their classic Market Hall wedding with many personal touches. Details included signature cocktails and using the champagne glasses her grandmother used at her wedding.
