Crystal and Jared elopement on a GORGEOUS September afternoon on a bright, warm, and sunny Carolina Beach in North Carolina. The crazy part was that Wilmington had just been hit by a tropical storm earlier in the week, and Carolina Beach experienced insane flooding, ruining a few local businesses and homes. But just a couple days later, the water went down, the damage was being repaired, and we were still able to celebrate these two. They chose to elope with only their immediate family and their closest of friends, and I LOVE a wedding day like that. It’s calm, quiet, and relaxing. You get to spend the day with your closest people, and you don’t have to put on a show. You just get to celebrate your love. So CONGRATS to Crytal and Jared! I’m so happy I was able to be part of your day.
