Ashley and Raevin got married on a gorgeous fall day at Warehouse on Water in Downtown Wilmington, North Carolina. A stunning day for a STUNNNNNING couple. These two had so much love for not just each other, but for everyone at the wedding, and it was so apparent how much they were loved in return by their people. They had the most fun dance party, the most fun bridal party, they had gorgeous colors, dresses, vibes, ALL OF IT. I’m forever obsessed with both Ashley AND Raevin’s wedding dresses, and just how much fun they are to be around. They make everyone feel welcome, and they even planned a choreographed dance to Thriller!? WHAT!? It was epic. Every single part of it. Grateful for clients like these two who make my job so easy just by being themselves! Congratulations to Ashley and Raevin! I can’t wait to see what’s next for this power couple!

Caitlin & Travis chose the gorggggggg Bakery 105 for their wedding day in October, and it will forever be one of my favorite venues in Wilmington to photograph. The outdoor patio with it’s classic brick walls covered in ivy is my favorite part of the venue – especially when we get a clear day and we get to NOT have a giant tent covering the whole patio. So when I walked up to Caitlin & Travis’s big day to no tent, you could say I was elated. Their ceremony took place on the patio and the reception was inside, with beautiful floral displays, delicious dinner, drinks, and of course, dancing. Shout out to these two and their hilarious families for throwing such a fun event, and congrats to Caitlin and Travis!!!!

Some weddings just leave you breathless. Some couples are just the kindest, most welcoming people, and their love is so genuine you can actually feel it just from being around them. Taylor and Ben are those kind of people. They had their wedding day on a gorgeous day in October, just as fall was finally starting to set in in costal North Carolina. It was the first sign of fall colors, but still nice and warm outside, and they had chosen one of my favorite venues – the Brooklyn Arts Center to host their big day. I was absolutely blown away by the decor and details that they had planned, and the way it came together was a DREAM. I’ll be thinking about this wedding for a long time. Taylor just made me wish she was my actual best friend all day, and oooooooh the way Ben looked at her. I’m so happy for these two, so happy I got to be there, so happy they trusted me to document this day. Obsessed with their love, and can’t wait to see what comes next for Taylor and Ben.
