  • Ironclad Brewery Wedding Photographer | Hannah & Kayla

    WHAT A DAAAAAY. Hannah and Kayla chose the beautiful Ironclad Brewery to host their wedding in June, and they couldn’t have picked a better location! Downtown was bright and bustling and sunny and vibrant that day. There was so much love and laughter, so much dancing, so many DOGS! Okay, just two, but they sure were the cutest flower girl and ring bearer that I ever did seeeeeee. They had brewery-themed table decor, they had late night Wheelz Pizza delivered for their guests, and they had an exit with bubble guns that made so many bubbles it was like we were drowning – LOL – but in a good way. Shout out to these two ladies for throwing one heck of a party, 10/10 would attend again.

  • Wrightsville Manor Wedding Photographer | Chelsey & Emily

    Wrightsville Manor is a STUNNING place for a wedding in Wilmington (and a wedding photographers dream, let’s be real). The lush greenery and giant oak tree out back that you can host your ceremony, and honestly I just love being all on one property for the whole day. With a gorgeous bridal suite to get ready in, and plenty of parking, Wrightsville Manor is a crowd favorite. No wonder Chelsey and Emily chose it for their wedding in June! Not only is June a popular month for weddings, but it’s also PRIDE MONTH!!! So I was extra happy to be able to document this sweet couple’s wedding day!! Chelsey and Emily were seriously such a blast to be around, I arrived as a vendor and I left as a friend. I laughed a majority of the day. I smiled way too much that my face hurt by the time I left. Not only were Chelsey and Emily a breeze to work with, but their friends and family were so kind to me as well. Thank you for such a great experience, y’all. My favorite memory from the day: when their family surprised them by dressing up like Mama Mia and coming out and performing a choreographed song in full costume during the ceremony. Honestly, I’m not sure that can be topped. Now scroll through some of the highlights from their wedding day!

  • Wrightsville Manor Wedding Photographer | Tania & Matt

    2020 has been a wild year, and we’ve all lost a lot of our original plans, especially those of you planning weddings. But every now and then, you end up having one of the BEST NIGHTS EVER, and everything comes together just right. It may not have been the full guest count, it may have been moved all outdoors and risked having bad or cold weather, BUT, it still ends up being absolutely perfect. This was one of those weddings. Tania and Matt got married at Wrightsville Manor surrounded by their closest loved ones. If I could write down all the things that I want in a client, Tania and Matt would be exactly that. They were so much fun, they were so laid back, so genuine, they trusted every vendor completely, and they were just an absolute joy to work with. Not only that, but their decor was one of my FAVORITES this year. Their table settings were themed after their favorite books and movies, including, of course, my favorite, Harry Potter! When you tell someone that you’re having Harry Potter themes in your wedding, most people would question that idea because it could be really cheesy. But the way they worked with their florist and event planners (shout out to Designs by Dillon and Bubbly Events) to incorporate those ideas into elegant and classy table settings, was incredible! Hands down one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen at a wedding. But maybe I’m biased. :)

    After a beautiful ceremony, everyone danced all night long outside at Wrightsville Manor under a tent of twinkle lights and an EXCELLENT DJ playing all the right music. I wish every wedding day was just like this one. I’m so happy I was able to be a part of it and work with such an awesome couple and such an amazing team of vendors. Thanks for still bringing nights like this, 2020! Congratulations Matt & Tania!!!!
