  • Oak Island Wedding Photographer | Hannah & Andrew

    Hannah and Andrew had a very small, intimate, and CHILLLLL beach wedding out at Oak Island last month. It was so much fun, it was so calm and it was really cool watching all of their friends and family come together to help get everything ready for the wedding, I watched them help set up, and I watched everyone pitch in to make their dream day come true! Hannah was so sweet, she was running around all day in total shock and awe that she had just MARRIED the love of her life, and that this was all really happening! They had a low country boil dinner on the beach, followed by plenty of wine and dancing! I’m so lucky to work with clients like these. And I’m SO HAPPY for you both!!! Here are some of the highlights of their wedding day!

  • Ocean Isle Beach Wedding Photographer | Kylie & Abby

    I knew I was going to love working with Kylie and Abby the second that I met them when they were visiting Wilmington one weekend, and we met up to discuss wedding details! Their vibe is EXACTLY like mine, and they had such easy going personalities, I was so excited to get to be at their wedding day. And then, genuinely, it exceeded ALL of my expectations. Not only was it just a big casual hang out with a small group of their closest friends and family, but 40 of them were all staying together at a big beach house that night, so it was just one fun party. From getting ready mimosas to a giant dance party all night that even got ME on the dance floor with so many good throw back tunes, I can honestly say it was the BEST DAY EVER. Listening to the speeches from their parents and their friends was so heartwarming I can’t even describe it. These two are not only so loved by the people they surround themselves with, but their love for each other was POWERFUL! I mean, I felt it!!! These are the kind of people that I want to be around all the time, these are the kind of people I want to work with all the time, and this is the kind of love I LOVE to be around. Thank you Kylie and Abby for allowing me to be a part of your magical day, thank you for planning one hell of a party, and thank you for genuinely being yourselves all day long. It made my job SO EASY and I had an absolute blast! Highly recommend having a beach house wedding. It’s a pretty magical thing.

  • Oak Island Wedding Photographer | Gina & Vincent

    Gina and Vincent had an intimate wedding with only their very closest family members and friends in Oak Island, North Carolina. These two are the reason I love my job. People that I don’t even get the chance to meet before their wedding day, and then we meet and it’s like we’ve been friends for years. They were 100% themselves all day, which really translated into the BEST PHOTOS. I love when people open up and just let loose on their big day, instead of being panicked and stressed. They laughed, they joked, they shotgunned a beer. I loved every second. They had a seafood boil for their dinner, they danced, and then they ran into the ocean at the end. WHAT A PERFECT DAY! Thank you guys for having me be a part of your wedding day!

  • Caswell Beach Wedding Photographer | Reagan & Jonathan

    WHAT. A. WEDDING. Reagan and Jonathan got married surrounded by their favorite people, on Caswell Beach, NC. It was hands down one of the most stunning days I’ve seen in awhile. Every single detail from the dress, to the dog flower girl & boy, to the floral arch for the ceremony, to the table settings, to the twinkle lights…. I was in photo heaven. So grateful to get to work wedding days like this one, where they kept telling me how important the photos were to them, but that they trusted me completely (literally the best thing you can say to your photographer)… it was PERFECT. They let me do my thing, capturing the day while they had the time of their lives. They ate fresh seafood on the beach together, followed by a night of dancing and finishing up the night by running into the ocean in their wedding outfits! Congratulations, Reagan and Jonathan!!!!

  • Wrightsville Beach Oceanic Wedding Photographer | Elizabeth & Kris

    I was so excited when I received the inquiry for Elizabeth & Kris’s wedding day at Crystal Pier, right on the ocean. They had a Monday morning wedding, followed by brunch and mimosas, and lots of dancing, right on Wrightsville Beach at the Oceanic. What an amazing way to do a wedding, I think it’s safe to say all of the vendors and I will be starting a petition to have MORE wedding days like this!!! Elizabeth and Kris were so sweet, so relaxed, and so ready to get married!! I love being part of amazing days like this. Check out some highlights from their big day!

  • Oak Island Elopement Photographer | Amanda & Aspen

    I had the opportunity to head out to Oak Island, North Carolina recently to photograph Amanda & Aspen say their wedding vows out on the beach together with their sweet son. I absolutely love getting to be part of events like this, it was so small, so intimate, so personal for them. We were able to choose a time of day based on the sunset since it was just the 3 of them, we had the most beautiful weather after weeks and weeks of rain. It was just perfect. I had so much fun with them and I’m so happy we were able to get such GORGEOUS photos for them to remember this day forever!

  • Beau Rivage Wedding Photographer | Amy & Joe

    Amy and Joe tied the knot at Beau Rivage Golf & Resort on a beautiful June day. We may have struggled with some rain throughout the day, but it didn’t matter. I love a couple that can roll with the punches, and just enjoy themselves, and Amy and Joe were no exception to this! They had their family and friends around them, some delicious food, some great music to dance the night away, and a LOT of awesome dancers. It was so much fun. I’m so happy I was able to be there for their big day!!! Check out some of my favorite highlights of their wedding!

  • Sunset Beach Elopement Photographer | Allie & Zach

    Allie & Zach planned a perfectly tiny and perfectly AMAZING little getaway for their wedding day in Sunset Beach, North Carolina. They wanted to do a surprise elopement, and they pulled it off so well! We lucked out with the most absolutely perfect weather, with just their very best friends present to witness! My favorite thing about these two was their ability to forget the pressure of being photographed professionally and they were just themselves, and it made it SO much fun. We got tons of photos “posed” nicely but we also were able to capture their actual personalities, and that makes me so happy, that’s all I want from a wedding day! CONGRATS to Allie & Zach – thank you so much for having me there and I’m so happy for you both!!!

  • Wrightsville Beach Wedding Photographer | Amanda & Laszlo

    Amanda and Laszlo hosted a very intimate gathering at their home in Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina to say their “I do’s”. With Laszlo’s family in Hungary and the current travel restrictions, they were unable to have everyone that they wanted at their wedding, so they set up a Zoom call and had the closest family members come out and watch them instead!

    I absolutely love wedding days like this. They are so laid back, so relaxed, and so unique. They get to spend this special day with the people closest to them, and Amanda and Laszlo finished off the day by riding bikes to the beach, something that they loved doing together. Nothing sounds more perfect to me.

    These two were just the absolute sweetest, I had so much fun in the brief amount of time I was with them, they made me feel like one of the guests! I’m so happy I had the chance to be there to photograph their day! Here are a few of my favorite images!

  • Carolina Home & Garden Wedding Photographer | Ashley & Joseph

    Ashley and Joseph got married in Newport, North Carolina at the absolutely stunning Carolina Home & Garden. I had never worked at this venue before, and it was a literal DREAM. This place is complete with multiple bars, multiple getting ready spaces (including a green house for the bride!), outdoor and indoor space, and more greenery than you can even imagine. It’s a true plant lovers dream. I’ve been lucky enough to know Ashley for years now, she’s been a bridesmaid in other friends weddings that I’ve photographed, she’s gone to bachelorette parties with me, I was so happy when she asked me to be there for her big day. Every single detail was stunning, and it was the very first wedding I worked where the mask mandate was lifted! It felt NORMAL – it was so much fun and so perfect. I’m so lucky to have such a fun job, and get to work with such amazing people. Congrats to Ashley & Joseph!!!!!
