I remember the first emails I exchanged with Kim, before we ever met, and I just KNEW she was the perfect bride for me to work with. She’s just the absolute sweetest human I could ever hope for, and when I met up with her and John to discuss their wedding plans – it was clear that these two were meant to be together. As we got ready for their “first look” on their wedding day, the nerves were high and the excitement was even higher. I’ll never get over the way John looks at her! What we thought was going to be a full day of rain, turned out to be just the best day. The rain finished up in the morning, giving us the rest of the day to enjoy their outdoor wedding, while they danced and laughed the night away with their closest family and friends. I will be forever grateful that Kim found me!!!! Now check out some of my very favorite images from their wedding day – and my last wedding of 2020!

East Winds Saint Lucia Destination Wedding Photography | Carly & Josh

by Allison

Sometimes I’m lucky enough to photograph a wedding for friends of mine. Sometimes I’m even luckier because those friends decide to get married in a tropical paradise in the Caribbean. But Carly and Josh are the luckiest of all, because not only did they find the person they want to spend the rest of their lives with, but they even had 40 of their closest friends and family join them all the way in Saint Lucia. Not everybody could get that many people to fly to another country for them, but that just shows you how much these two are loved. Destination weddings are such a magical thing, you get to spend a week laying on the beach, eating way too much food, washing it down with way too many drinks, and you kind of forget to stress over a wedding. East Winds Resort had deep sea fishing, horse back riding along the water, swim up bars, kayaking, paddle boarding, sail boats, pirate ship cruises, street festivals, dancing, late night pool dips, and sooooo much laughing. I’m so grateful that I was able to be a part of this adventure with Carly and Josh, and I’m so happy to share some of the photos with you guys! Wishing you two all the happiness in the world!

Hyatt Regency Boston Harbor Wedding | John Henry & Don

by Allison

I recently traveled to Boston to photograph a wedding for a great friend from college, who was lucky enough to marry the love of his life. John Henry and Don tied the knot in July with a stunning view of the city over the water, at the Hyatt Regency Boston Harbor hotel. They said their I-Do’s as the sun went down over the skyline, and then danced the night away with all of their friends and family. One thing that sticks out to me the most from this wedding was the sweet words that Don’s mother spoke at their reception. Parents that are just so genuinely thrilled to see their kids happy, no matter the race or the sex or the circumstance, it’s an absolutely wonderful thing. You could see the genuine excitement in the entire room, especially between John Henry and Don. They literally couldn’t stop smiling or even dancing during our portrait time! I’m so happy I got the opportunity to be a part of their wedding day, and to get to visit Boston again. Love is a beautiful thing.

by Allison

I recently had the pleasure of tagging along with Xan and Joe on their wedding day in downtown Wilmington. They had their ceremony out on the back deck at 128 South, which gives a beautiful view of the Cape Fear River and a great view of the city. They had a delicious dinner inside the venue and then made their way out to the deck again to finish up the night with drinks and dancing. They had such a great group of friends and family members, they never left that dance floor the entire night. The decor was gorgeous, the music was great, and the bride looked absolutely stunning (she even did her own hair and makeup – seriously!!). I’m so happy that I get to work with such amazing clients that make me feel like just another one of the guests. Wishing these two a lifetime of happiness!

Calling this wedding a blast wouldn’t even begin to describe the night I had with Caitlin and Michael. This was one of the most epic dance parties I’ve ever experienced, including Caitlin being hoisted into the air by her friends multiple times. They had incredible, hand picked details, gorgeous floral centerpieces, one of the most colorful fall ceremonies, and so much love it had me smiling the whole time I worked on these photos. They have such a fun kind of love, you can’t help but want to be around them! They danced, they laughed, and they even let me take them into the woods for some gorgeous photos as the sun set and the super moon came out. I love to be a part of weddings that are filled with so much joy, and this one exceeded all expectations! Congrats to the happy couple, now check out the highlights from their big day!

Watermark Marina Wedding Photography | Mary & Ben

See the published article about this wedding on Wedding Wire HERE.

Mary and Ben are a couple I’ve been lucky enough to get to know as I’ve made myself a new home here in Wilmington. They were one of my first couples to take a chance on me, and one of the first that I photographed here. Not only did they take me by boat to Masonboro Island for their engagement session, but they also won me over with their incredibly fun and laid back personalities. They’ve made me feel so much more like a friend than someone they simply hired to be at their wedding.

These two had a beautiful ceremony on the end of a pier at the Watermark Marina, surrounded by a bright yellow sunset, family, friends, and everyone that cares about them the most. Their reception was just a walk back down the pier, with an indoor/outdoor seating area and all the twinkle lights my little heart could hope for. The dinner was an elaborate taco bar, followed by SO MANY DONUTS. Some of my favorite wedding food ever, might I add. The drinks flowed, the dancing never stopped, and the love and laughter was everywhere. Thank you for a wonderful evening, Mary and Ben, and I can’t wait to watch your marriage grow :) now check out the highlights of their big day!!
