Malachi Meadows Wedding Photographers

As a full-time wedding photographer based in the charming coastal town of Wilmington, North Carolina, I have had the privilege of capturing countless love stories against the backdrop of sun-kissed beaches, historic architecture, and Southern hospitality. Each wedding I photograph holds its own unique magic, but Abby and Pat’s wedding day was truly something special. I couldn’t wipe the smile off my face, I even teared up at their vows (I literally feel immune most days, but they got me). What set Abby and Pat’s wedding apart were the personal touches and unconventional traditions they incorporated to make their day truly theirs. From the beautiful disco ball centerpieces to their vintage inspired cake, I loved every detail. Not only that, but Abby and Pat have a way of just making you feel so welcome and included in the day, some of my favorite moments were honestly just laughing with them during our photo time. They were so easy to be around and get along with, it made my job so easy. One of my favorite parts of the day: instead of the traditional bouquet and garter toss, which often left guests eager but apprehensive, they opted for a creative twist. Together, they designed commemorative wedding day t-shirts, each adorned with their names and the date of their wedding. As the evening festivities reached their peak, Abby and Pat joyfully tossed these personalized t-shirts into the crowd, sparking laughter and camaraderie among their guests. It was a gesture that symbolized their playful spirits and their desire to create lasting memories with their loved ones. Some of my favorite photos of the reception are the end of the night dancing photos, with everyone wearing one of the t-shirts!
