Danielle + Parker | Carolina Yacht Club Wedding | Wrightsville Beach, NC - Chris Zachary | Wedding, Portrait & Film Photographer

To kick off spring wedding season, we started with Danielle + Parker’s Carolina Yacht Club Wedding. Located on the ocean at Wrightsville Beach, NC, The Carolina Yacht Club has been standing strong since 1853, one of the oldest remaining buildings on the island, and certainly one of the most impressive properties. We started the day early and were treated to perfect spring weather throughout the day. The ceremony on the bottom deck of the main building was officiated by Parker’s dad, while overlooking the turquoise waters of the Atlantic. While the sun set, a slew of hors d’oeuvres were on hand for cocktail hour that took place on the second floor deck, the best place in the house to watch the sun set. Dinner followed, on the large screen porch, where food was served and toasts were had. As the night moved on, guests were ushered to the main building where they danced the night away to the curated tunes of Martin of Active Entertainment, but not before all guests were positioned on the upper and lower decks for an epic group photo. They ended the night off with a glowing lantern exit, which led guests to their late-night snack, the one and only Trolley Stop Hotdog Cart. I cant’t think of a better way to kick off spring wedding season! Looking forward to the many great weddings this season will bring!
