Styled Shoots in Wilmington are probably some of my favorite things. It’s such a fun chance to get to work with tons of incredible local wedding vendors, and create something beautiful. My friend Kelly has JUST opened her new business, SOUTH Tablescapes, and she decided what better way to start it off than with a BANG?! We gathered up this amazing team, grabbed some friends for our models, and it all came together so perfectly. Kelly designed the whole thing from that amazing brain of hers, and I’m so happy I was able to capture it! Thank you to EVERYONE who participated, scroll down for the list of awesome vendors!

Myrtle Beach Wedding Photographer | Caroline & Nick

Planning a wedding during a pandemic and being unsure of what your wedding day will look like is already difficult enough, but when other unforeseen circumstances show up just a couple weeks before the wedding, it makes it even more challenging. Caroline and Nick had to change all their original wedding plans at the last minute, but I can’t stress enough how much I admire them for being able to do so with smiles on their faces. We ended up in Myrtle Beach with only maybe 20 of their immediate family members and their best man and maid of honor. Their love was so intense it had me getting goosebumps throughout the day and had me crying like a little baby during their vows (even when I watched it back in their wedding video) – and I swear I am immune to weddings at this point, but not this day. Every speech that someone made, every word they spoke to each other, every little moment was just so special. These two are absolutely meant to be together, and I’m so glad that they were still able to have this day, even if it looked a little different than they had planned. I’m grateful for my job for bringing me to people like this. You two will always have a friend in me, and I cannot wait to watch your love story continue.

This sweet sweet couple had a very intimate wedding in Oak Island that I was lucky enough to show up and photograph! Their love was honestly overwhelming (in a good way), and everyone in the whole room felt it. They were so easy to work with, so much fun to take photos of, and their families made me feel so welcome. Olivia has always loved Peter Pan and there were small little elements of that in their decor, which was so fun and unique. They had MULTIPLE pies on deck, their arbor was decorated by hand with dried flowers and oranges (a tribute to her favorite book), and they had hand packed lunches which was so creative. I love getting to be a part of days like this. Check out some of my favorite images from the day!

I absolutely love getting to be a part of local styled photo shoots. If you aren’t familiar with them, it’s a day that a bunch of wedding vendors come together to create a faux wedding day – including models for the couple getting “married!” It’s so much fun to get creative and have fun with a photo shoot without having to be on a strict wedding-day timeline, and get to team up with more creative vendors and see what you can do together. So grateful for our coordinator, Addie, for putting this all together!

Kure Beach Elopement Photographer | Samantha & Josh

Samantha and Josh had other plans for their wedding day, and then 2020 happened, and they had to roll with the punches. I think they did a pretty good job on a Plan B, by inviting only a handful of immediate family and friends out to Kure Beach to watch them elope in front of the ocean, and then have a small reception outside of a beach house. I had so much fun with these two as we wandered the beach and got some of the BEST portraits, and shout out to the weather for being AMAZING and giving us the best sunshine and the best sunset. So grateful to have been a part of this day! Congrats to Samantha & Josh!!!
