Holden Beach elopement

  • Airlie Gardens Wedding Photographer | Emily & Michael

    What an absolute DREAM of a day. Emily and Michael had their wedding at the STUNNING Airlie Gardens in Wilmington, North Carolina. They hired the most incredibly talented team of vendors, and their combined efforts really brought their wedding vision to life. Every single detail was gorgeous, from her dress to the seating chart to the themed drinks named after their dogs!

    Now, I work a lot of weddings. I mean, a lot. I work with a lot of couples. And some of those couples just really leave a lasting impression on me. Emily and Michael are one of those couples. Their love was so LOUD. Like, you could FEEL it being around them. And their family and friends just absolutely surrounded them with it, too. I couldn’t wipe the big goofy smile off my face all day! I’m so grateful for my job for bringing me to people like these two. Okay, I can be sappy and mushy all day long, but let’s get to the important part. THE PHOTOS! Check out the highlights from their big day!

  • Holden Beach Elopement Photographer | Courtney & Jeff

    I had SUCH a great time with Courtney, Jeff, and their families as they said their vows in a small, intimate wedding ceremony in Holden Beach, North Carolina. We had the most GORGEOUS evening, and I genuinely appreciated how excited Courtney was when I suggested having the ceremony shortly before sunset, for the most dreamy photos possible. It was perfect. They ate cake, toasted champagne, played on the beach with their kids, and finished the night off with some sparklers on the water! I love being a photographer and getting excuses like this to hang on the beach with a really fun family and catch these moments on camera to remember forever. Thank you both so much for having me!!!
