Miranda and Matt chose Wilmington, North Carolina as the location for their elopement purely because they wanted a beautiful location, with just the two of them and their two best friends. They got a private boat charter (shoutout to the INCREDIBLE Airlie Pointe Yacht Charters), they drove down here, and then, of course, because things can’t just go as planned, Wilmington got a surprise hurricane. By the day of their wedding, they decided to just totally risk it, and continue on with their plan, and our amazing captain, Tyler, was the best guide. He watched the radar and made sure we were safe, and worked around the weather as best he could to navigate us safely to Masonboro Island. The good thing about having a wedding ceremony during a hurricane on a private island? NOBODY else is around, so you get the whole island to yourself. And just when we were about to give up hope of getting off the boat and making it to the island, the rain disappeared, and gave us a stunning sunset. We got out to the island and just went photo crazy, and the vibes were just……… insane. I’m so lucky to get to work such gorgeous days, with adventurous couples, who aren’t afraid to get a little bit wet, to get the epic shots. Congrats Miranda and Matt!!!!!!
