Renaissance Raleigh North Hills Hotel Wedding | Milton + Amika

For Milton + Amika, it was all about their Renaissance Raleigh North Hills Hotel wedding reception! Having done life together for quite some time, they couldn’t wait to celebrate with family and friends. In getting to know the couple leading up to their wedding day, Amika wasn’t interested in “getting ready” photos. They were solely interested in a quick wedding ceremony and the time of their lives during the wedding reception. And that’s precisely what we did!
