To kick off the start of my October whirlwind of weddings, I started with Liz & Jordan! They chose to have a ceremony at The Basilica Shrine of St. Mary in downtown Wilmington, North Carolina, followed by a reception at the Embassy Suites Wilmington Riverfront hotel. My favorite part about this hotel is it’s location! It’s right on the infamous Riverwalk, which allows us easy access to it for all the beautiful photos, not to mention sunset views! The part that you’d have no idea by looking through the pictures but is worth noting – this happened on a weekend that a surprise hurricane came right by us, and ended up hitting the night BEFORE their wedding, and was so mild (for us) that by wedding day, it was BEAUTIFUL outside again! If that’s not good luck, I don’t know what it! Congratulations to Liz & Jordan, thank you so much for having us, and we wish you all the best!!!

WHAT A DAY! Morgan and Colin, surrounded by their closest friends and family members, got married on a beautiful October day in Wilmington, North Carolina. They chose the beautiful Warehouse on Water as their venue, located downtown right on the waterfront. I love working at this venue, not just for the stunning brick interior, but also it’s such a great location surrounded by SO MANY of my favorite photo spots downtown! And don’t forget those sunset views on the Riverwalk. I had such a great time with these two, and their guest were so fun and welcoming! Check out some highlights from their wedding day!

Topsail Beach Sunrise Elopement Photographer | Julia & Jessica

One of the many perks of living on the east coast is getting to see the sun rise over the ocean. Which also provides an excellent backdrop for a couple who would like to surprise their friends and family by inviting them to an engagement party at the beach, but only to sneak out first thing in the morning under the premise of “we’re getting bagels” and then SURPRISE – instead, they got married! I absolutely loved getting to work with Julia and Jessica on this top secret mission of getting them married before the rest of their families woke up that morning. These two were so overjoyed to tie the knot, to make it official, and I could feel it radiating off of them. Congratulations to these two! I highly recommend a surprise elopement – it was an absolute blast!
