  • St James Plantation Wedding Photographer | Paige & Greg

    Paige & Greg tied the knot at St James Plantation in Southport, North Carolina. They invited me to come out and photograph it after meeting them in Wilmington at a Wedding Expo and I’m so glad we met! Paige was easily one of the most relaxed brides and these two were so much fun to be around. They had me cracking up all day even in the summer heat. Thank god for air conditioning, right!? Saint James was just a stunning backdrop for these two to celebrate their marriage, and the perfect dance floor for their families to dance the night away. And I mean that when I say it. That dance floor was the hit of the night. What a fun group of families, what an amazing couple, and what a great night. Congratulations, Paige and Greg!!!!

  • Ironclad Brewery Wedding Photography | Michelle & Josh

    I’m so happy I was able to photograph this mini wedding at Ironclad Brewery – Michelle and Josh had a beautiful ceremony followed by an intimate reception downtown with their closest family and friends. Weddings may not look like they used to these days, but that doesn’t mean they’re any less fun, or there’s any less love. Some people postponed their weddings in 2020, some people cancelled completely. But Michelle and Josh decided that they were going to have their big day anyway, even if it didn’t look like their original plan. And I’m here to tell you that small weddings are just as amazing as huge weddings. Just ask these two. Their smiles were so big the entire day. So grateful to be able to keep photographing these intimate events – congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Bizzell! You did it!!!
