  • Wilmington NC Wedding & Travel Photographer | Best of 2016

    What a year it has been! I’ve moved from Ohio to North Carolina, got a sweet and fluffy puppy, I made a ton of new friends, explored Italy and eaten more gelato than anyone should probably eat in a lifetime, relaxed on multiple beaches, shopped in Charleston (I ate some more gelato there), hiked part of the Appalachian Trail in Virginia, and taken way too many photos. I’ve been lucky enough to have gotten multiple weddings published this year, and I plan to continue that trend. I’ve loved every minute of 2016, cheers to an even better 2017. I already know it’s going to be great. Here are a few of my favorite images from this year.

  • The Atrium Wedding Photography | Ashley & Clay

    I’ve had Ashley & Clay’s wedding booked for awhile now, and I had seriously been counting down the days after learning about their venue choice at the Atrium in downtown Wilmington. It’s a beautiful spot with open ceilings and tall ivy covered walls and endless twinkle lights, which provided for one of my favorite backdrops I’ve ever experienced. Literally, I want to get married here. After a sweet ceremony with talks of dinosaurs falling in love, a reception full of delicious southern food, glow sticks, a totally unplanned fireworks show followed. Their fall decor was stunning, I’m still dreaming about the burgundy and gold details surrounded by all the greenery. They ended the night by being whisked away on a pedicab to their downtown hotel! What a night to remember. I’m thankful for such amazing couples like this one! Check out the highlights of their day.
