If you’ve chosen The Story as your wedding venue, congratulations! 🎉 You’ve picked one of Durham’s most elegant and stylish registry offices for your big day. With its modern yet classic aesthetic, intimate ceremony rooms, and a stunning grand staircase, it’s the perfect place to say "I do."

But here’s the thing: Your wedding photos are one of the most important keepsakes from your big day. You need a photographer who knows The Story inside and out, someone who understands how the light changes throughout the day, the best angles for timeless portraits, and—most importantly—someone who can work seamlessly with the staff to ensure a stress-free experience.

When it comes to kicking off a new year of wedding photography, there’s no better place to begin than The Story in Durham. It’s no secret that this elegant venue holds a special place in my heart. From its sophisticated charm to its seamless adaptability for weddings of all sizes, The Story offers an idyllic setting that I’ve come to love capturing. And what a pleasure it was to document Liz and Chris’s unforgettable day here as my first wedding of the year.

As a wedding photographer, I’ve had the privilege of photographing four weddings at The Story in Durham, a registry office that has quickly gained popularity. While it’s not a full-day wedding venue, its charm and elegance make it an ideal location for couples looking for a beautiful, no-fuss ceremony. I’ve had more enquiries for The Story in a short time than almost any other venue, which speaks volumes about its appeal. Here’s why I think it's becoming such a popular choice for couples, along with my first-hand experience photographing weddings there.
