Lacy Patton Photography North Carolina Wedding Photographer Hey there! I’m Lacy Patton, a wedding and portrait photographer based in Wendell, North Carolina, just outside of Raleigh.

I specialize in timeless, true-to-life photography filled with emotion, connection, and storytelling. While weddings have always been at the heart of my work, I’m now excited to welcome clients into my newly opened in-home studio in Wendell. It’s the perfect space for families, maternity, cake smashes, and creative portraits in a cozy, light-filled setting. I work with clients all across North Carolina, including Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, Greensboro, and Winston-Salem. Whether you're planning something local or a destination celebration, I love helping people tell their stories through genuine, heartfelt images. I studied Commercial Photography at Appalachian State and met my husband Cody along the way. Now he’s my second photographer at weddings and events, and we truly love capturing love stories together as a team. My favorite part of any wedding day is that quiet moment right after the ceremony, when the nerves fade and joy takes over. It’s real and raw and so full of love. That’s the heart of what I aim to photograph in every session. Whether you're planning a wedding or booking a studio session, my goal is to make the experience feel easy, meaningful, and personal. I’m here to help with vendor recommendations, styling advice, timeline planning, and anything else you need. Let’s grab coffee or a glass of bubbly and talk about your vision. I’d love to hear your story.

A little rain couldn't stop Irene + Justin from having the most gorgeous garden themed wedding day.

Their day was filled with the sweetest personal touches that made every detail feel uniquely them. From Irene's wedding dress adorned with hand-painted florals to Justin's wedding band engraved with coffee and tea plants to represent the two of them, every detail had a story to tell. They also incorporated a beautiful Korean tea ceremony and board games during cocktail hour, making their celebration feel just as meaningful as it was fun.

Rain and all, it was such a beautiful reminder that the best wedding days are the ones that reflect the two people at the heart of them. Irene said it best, "Remember this moment is about you two as a couple, and those who love you! Plan for the things that make you excited and feel like 'you' and remember that the most important part is getting to celebrate with all the people, from across the many eras of your life, who love you."

So many thoughtful details, so much love, and a beautiful day we won't soon forget thanks to an amazing vendor team!

Cecilia James Patton🤍

Our sweet girl was so excited to meet her big brother that she decided to make her appearance a month early and in under two hours.

We are both doing well and we can't wait to bring her home!

If you’re a golfer, it doesn’t get much more iconic than this. ⛳️🤍

Nestled in the heart of Pinehurst, the home of American golf, Cally and Tyler exchanged vows on the Cradle tee box surrounded by their immediate families. With championship courses, rolling Carolina pines, and a shared love of the game as their backdrop, their wedding day felt effortlessly personal and uniquely them.

Congratulations, Cally & Tyler. Thank you for trusting me to capture it all.

Abby & Parker 🤍

A day full of meaning, history, and so much joy.

Abby walked down the aisle in her mom’s dress, carrying a piece of family with her in the most beautiful way. And they ended the night riding off in a classic 1948 “woody” that’s been part of their story long before this day.

The kind of wedding that feels like more than a celebration. It’s legacy, love, and the start of something new all at once.

Still not over this one ✨

Last night's graduation session was a little extra special. McKenzie has been Landon's nanny for the past year, so every wedding, engagement session, date night, and crazy week of editing wouldn't have been possible without her. I was already so excited for her graduation session and then her boyfriend contacted me to let me know he was planning on proposing. These moments are exactly why I love my job🤍

Spring wedding season is officially in full bloom. It is definitely my busiest time of year, but when the views are this pretty, I really can’t complain.
I loved being back at Duke Gardens this week for these two and their sweet girl. It was the perfect way to celebrate their engagement before their fall wedding later this year. Now I'm gearing up for a big double header wedding weekend! 📸✨
