Lacy Patton Photography

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 Car

olina, 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.

Julia + Richy truly brought so much joy to every second of their wedding day 🤍

From the t-shirt toss that kicked off the reception to the gelato cart and all the intentional little details throughout the day, everything felt so personal and so them. One of the sweetest and most fun couples to celebrate with, and such an honor to capture it all ✨

Can’t wait for them to see the full gallery soon 👀

A huge thanks to an amazing vendor team!

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! 📸✨

Spring wedding season starts today and I’m kicking it off with Sarah + Angello. 🌸

We first met for their engagement session at American To***co Campus and it instantly felt like one of those couples you just know are going to have the best wedding day. So excited to celebrate them and capture the start of this next season together.

Also feeling extra grateful because this is shaping up to be one of my busiest spring seasons yet. So many incredible couples trusting me with their days and I truly don’t take that lightly. Let’s do this. 🤍

The holidays are always a little bit nuts around here. I always say if I haven’t posted in a while, it’s because I’ve been really busy. Santa in the studio, so many families and newborns, and even a couple holiday weddings 🤍

Here’s a sweet moment from when Landon tagged along to a family session for one of our family friends. These two have the exact same birthday and were instantly obsessed with each other. We joked that we were taking photos to show at their wedding in 20+ years 🥹

Worried your kid might freak out when they meet Santa? You’re not alone, I was right there too!

Landon wasn’t so sure at first, but our 10 minute session gave him plenty of time to warm up, read a story, and by the end, they were besties. ❤️

That’s what makes these sessions so special. They’re calm, private, and full of genuine moments, not rushed or overwhelming.

✨ Santa Minis are next week, November 15, and I still have a few spots open! If you’d rather skip Santa, I also have classic Christmas minis that afternoon. Link is in my bio to grab your spot!
