Chelsea & Dakota’s Fort Fisher Engagement Session | Wilmington NC Engagement Photographer

I had the pleasure of capturing Chelsea & Dakota’s engagement session at Fort Fisher in Wilmington, North Carolina—a location that truly lends itself to unforgettable imagery. They chose the serene marshes and sandy shores near the site’s iconic jetty, where the late‑afternoon light softened and danced across the water. With the gentle waves, driftwood accents, and the golden glow of the sunset, this Fort Fisher engagement shoot blended natural beauty and authentic connection in one of the most photogenic spots near Wilmington. For couples looking for a coastal engagement session that offers a variety of backdrops—be it the marshland, ocean edge, or framed by ancient live oak trees—Fort Fisher stands out as a top choice. With Chelsea and Dakota, we used every element of the landscape—the sweeping horizon, the lush greenery, the quiet beach—to craft images that feel both spontaneous and timeless. Their session is a perfect example of how choosing the right location isn’t just about pretty scenery, it’s about capturing your story in a place that speaks to both of you.
