Topsail Beach Sunrise Elopement Photographer | Julia & Jessica

One of the many perks of living on the east coast is getting to see the sun rise over the ocean. Which also provides an excellent backdrop for a couple who would like to surprise their friends and family by inviting them to an engagement party at the beach, but only to sneak out first thing in the morning under the premise of “we’re getting bagels” and then SURPRISE – instead, they got married! I absolutely loved getting to work with Julia and Jessica on this top secret mission of getting them married before the rest of their families woke up that morning. These two were so overjoyed to tie the knot, to make it official, and I could feel it radiating off of them. Congratulations to these two! I highly recommend a surprise elopement – it was an absolute blast!
