Sometimes you get lucky. Sometimes one of your best friends in the world meets her soulmate, falls in love, and gets engaged. And sometimes, if you’re really really lucky, you are the people she turns to for her wedding photography. Sometimes, your friend decides she wants a rockabilly wedding on a decommissioned Battleship on the…
Well, I may be down with a horrific head cold, but at least it’s forcing me to slow down and post some pictures today, right? This wedding happened in early July, at the Watermark Marina in Wilmington, right on the Cape Fear River. If that sounds like an unbearably humid, hot location and time of…
Life is funny. Several years back, right around the beginning of the economic collapse, the wedding industry started drying up. It wasn’t DEAD, but it sure felt like it as I went from having chaotic, full years to having only a few weddings scattered throughout the year. They were tough bookings then, too – no…
In our job we deal in superlatives. The wedding was amazing, the bride’s dress was the prettiest I’d ever seen, the food surpassed all expectations, the wedding party was the most fun wedding party ever. You know when you go to a concert… say you’re seeing a band you don’t really love, but the tickets…
Here’s the thing about Katie and Matt. You can’t not like them. You can try, but it’s just not possible. You could hate Katie for her looks… but then she’d make some ridiculous face and crack a fart joke and you’d suddenly realize she’s not a Grecian statue, she’s just a silly girl who happens…
Isn’t it time to show some new pictures on the blog? Yeah. We think so too. Let’s start with Krissy and Ryan’s wedding at 128 South in downtown Wilmington. This is such a fabulous venue. I’ve lived in Wilmington long enough to remember it as Stemmerman’s Bar, which was a hole-in-the-wall for college kids. Quarter…
We’ve been crazy busy around here, between shooting, traveling, adopting a wonderful loving dog (who we’ll introduce in proper form sometime later this week, if time allows), and life-in-general… and it’s so easy for me to forget to update the website every week. So, here’s another roundup of the last few weddings we’ve shot, and…
In case you haven’t gotten your fill (and then some) of Katie and Matt between their engagement session, Katie’s bridal, the teaser from their wedding, and (soon) their wedding recap… well, here’s more Katie and Matt to fill your days . Their engagement session was featured on Fresh Squeezed Weddings last month, just about two…

Casey and Joseph’s portrait session was very special for me. Witnessing such a calm, peaceful, and shamelessly loving duo as they laughed and romped and played together; watching them write thoughts, little one-word messages to one another; listening to their giggles and inside jokes; knowing that this kind of relationship only exists between moms and…
Just a few quick shots from the last several weddings we’ve shot recently. We’ll post the full recaps as soon as we get out from under this pile of editing! Krissy and Ryan, 128 South in downtown Wilmington NC: Katie and Matt, Kenan Chapel at Landfall (reception at Lumina Hall in Wrightsville Beach)…
