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!!!!!

Lithia and Brendan were one of those lucky couples (I say lucky in full sarcasm) who had to deal with a postponement in light of the pandemic. We did their engagement photos in 2019 and they were originally going to get married last year, but moved their date to 2021 instead because they wanted to be able to have all their people at their wedding! I’m so grateful that they did, too, because what a day! We had a gorgeous April day of sunshine outside of the Brooklyn Arts Center. BAC is always one of my favorite venues to work in, you just can’t go wrong in that gorgeous old building. It has so much wide open space, you can do pretty much anything you want inside, and the outside courtyard is perfect all on it’s own, too. Lithia is hands down one of my most laid back brides in the world, and I’m so thankful to her for that. She had me cracking up all day, AND she had TWO incredible dresses. Her ceremony dress was made up from her mother and grandmother’s wedding dress, and her reception dress was all her own! This was one of the first weddings that I’ve worked in awhile where it felt almost “normal” again – and it felt GOOD! Cheers to 2021, and to Lithia and Brendan! You guys did it!!!

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!
