Cory & Kim’s Dream Wedding at Wrightsville Manor

May 13, 2026

Cory & Kim’s wedding at Wrightsville Manor was a joyful celebration full of love, laughter, and unforgettable moments. I had the pleasure of photographing Cory’s daughter’s wedding back in 2021, and now it was Cory’s turn to marry the love of his life. Knowing ahead of time that you’re going to spend the day with a fun, lively crew always makes the experience even better. The weather was perfect, and the energy was high as guests arrived at the Oak Lawn for the ceremony. Cory was literally brought to his knees as Kim walked out alongside her son to greet him. A touching sand ceremony, featuring a vial of sand from each of their ten children, symbolized the union of their blended family. Guests enjoyed the gorgeous front lawn during cocktail hour, with a delicious spread of hors d’oeuvres provided by Salt & Charm and tunes by Doug McFarland setting the perfect atmosphere. They were then invited into the beautifully designed reception space, elegantly styled by the team at Amani Affairs. The evening continued with heartfelt toasts, a delectable buffet, cake cutting, banana pudding shooters, and dancing to party jams by the one and only Shawn Booth of Active Entertainment. Wrightsville Manor truly stands out as a premier wedding venue, offering a seamless, all-inclusive experience for couples looking for a picture-perfect day.
