Jess & Sean got married in the Spring at the New Hanover county arboretum in Wilmington, NC. With the spring perennials in full bloom, I couldn’t think of a more perfect time to get married here.
The Atrium WeddingStarting off the new year catching up on blogging past weddings. This one was a small affair a year ago shot at the Atrium in Downtown Wilmington, NC. Adam and Ria opted to scratch the big flashy reception with a nice intimate dinner at the Beam Room located above Front Street Brewery. If you’re looking for a more intimate wedding setting, The Atrium is your go-to destination!
Wrightsville Manor Wedding Jesse & Erin’s original wedding date happened to be when a hurricane was forecasted to make landfall here on the coast. After some careful consideration, Erin decided to postpone her original October wedding date to a new date in November, because let’s be honest, who wants to get married during a hurricane? It turned out to be a good decision and she was still able to secure most, if not all, of her original vendors for the new date. Brittany with Orchid Island Events helped coordinate and design the look of Wrightsville Manor with help from Beautiful flowers by June, and it looked pretty incredible (hence all the detail shots you’ll see below, I’m kind of obsessed). A Thyme Savor catered and the band Spare Change kept the party going late into the evening. Also, shoutout to Tony Morin at Hendy St Productions who handled the video work on this wedding and was a pleasure to work with!
Wrightsville Manor WeddingI knew from my first meeting with Evan & Lexy that their wedding was going to be a good one. Super laid back and fun, you could tell their biggest concern was each other, and you can tell by looking at the smiles on their faces that this truly was the best day of their life. Pair that with one of my favorite local venues, Wrightsville Manor and you’ve got yourself an unforgettable day. Shout out to Hannah at Design Perfection and Beautiful Flowers by June for decking out the space beautifully.
The Atrium by Ligon Flynn WeddingI had the pleasure of photographing the nuptials of these two love birds last November at the Atrium in downtown Wilmington. I’ve known Justin for quite sometime, back when he was a writer/photographer for a local surf/skate magazine, Lineup, we used to link up quite often. It feels good as a photographer to get hired by another photographer, kinda means you’re doing something right. We had a little bit of rain just after the ceremony, but the inside of the Atrium provided a good backdrop for some portraits before moving outside when the rain slowed. The Atrium is a bit of a hidden gem in downtown Wilmington and gives you that outdoor feel while still providing some shelter. Justin is a bit of a beer connoisseur so he had an awesome selection of local and domestic craft beers (check out those badass goblets), an awesome cake table (the cake topper!) and a vegan food bar, among many other awesome details!
Greenfield Lake Engagement In honor of shooting the wedding of these guys in California in a couple months, I thought I’d throw their engagement photos up on the blog! They’ve had to reschedule their wedding date a couple times, and I was beginning to wonder if they would ever get married! But they landed on a date in October at Kevin’s grandfathers home in Santa Barbara (technically Lompoc), California. Needless to say, I’m pretty freaking excited to get back out on the west coast to shoot this beautiful couple in such a beautiful location. We shot these photos about a year ago at Greenfield Lake in Wilmington. I don’t shoot here a whole lot, but it’s really got a lot of awesome spots for photos. Although, it does get a little sketchy after dark!
Wrightsville Beach WeddingNelson & Beth were married at Bluewater just over the bridge in Wrightsville Beach late last year. This super fun and laid back couple travelled from Durham to be married amongst their closest family and friends. The top floor of Bluewater provided the perfect setting for this inland couple, with awesome views of the Intracoastal Waterway and the Wrightsville Beach Drawbridge right out the window. Beth was the opposite of a bridezilla, she opted to avoid typical over-the-top wedding decor and traditions so she could focus on the only thing that mattered, marrying her best friend. I had an awesome time spending the day with these two, their family and friends. Contact me to book you Wrightsville Beach Wedding!!
Coastline Convention Center Wedding Scott & Dale were wed late last year at the Coastline Convention Center in Downtown Wilmington, NC. This picturesque spot is located on the north side of downtown right on the Cape Fear River. It has special meaning for me because it is where I was married! Dale & Scott are awesome and their son Moe is the perfect combination of them both. I had a great time spending the day with these two and their families! Book me for your upcoming Coastline Wedding!
