Princess Tea Party Stylized Bridal Session| Wilmington Wedding Photography

My daughter wanted to take some special photos with her little girl. I couldn't think of a sweeter way than to do a tea party, but with a bridal twist. This session was so much fun and I hope she'll cherish them forever, I know I will.

Marcy was born with Spina Bifida, a congenital defect of the spine in which part of the spinal cord and its meninges are exposed through a gap in the backbone. It often causes paralysis of the lower limbs. Marcy has recently turned 2 and uses a wheel chair to get around indoors, she also crawls very fast! Myself and another photographer along with many other photographers around the US created non-profit called Redefining Spina Bifida and occasionally will hold fundraisers, if you're interested in reading more about it and how we started you can click here: Information

Rebecca & Doyle {Married} | Atkinson Wedding Photography

I'd say this wedding was definitely one for all record books. With Hurricane Matthew's arrival, everyone seemed to be a little on the nervous side, everyone that is except Rebecca! We arrived at her parent's house and everyone was going about their business as usual, hair and makeup, food, and lots of chatter about the weather. The football game was on, to my surprise, the ladies really seemed to enjoy that!! You would have never known that we were being bombarded by a Hurricane outside, unless you looked outside that is. I must say, with everything that went on, Rebecca was a CLASS ACT through the entire day, as you would expect if you know her. I'm blessed to know this sweet couple, and even more blessed to have been a part of their very special, very eventful day!

Everyone pulled together to make this day perfect! From the fairy lights to the cakes as well as the homemade jam made by Rebecca's mom as favors (personally my favorite)...I'm sure they couldn't have asked for a better day! They have endured a lot in their first month of marriage, but I know the Lord has blessed this marriage, and we should all be so lucky to have what they do! I hope you enjoyed the photos, we plan to take more this weekend to make up for not being able to during the hurricane. I'll post those as soon as we're finished.

Leah + Alex | Wedding Photography Jacksonville, NC

In 2016, April 16th was the most popular day to have a wedding, at least this was the case for me. I forgot how many people I referred or turned away for this day. And for great reason, I mean look at this weather we had, it was perfect. Leah, Alex and their family have been planning three weddings this year, this was the second with one left. I know planning just one wedding can be hard, but three?? Hopefully, we were able to help with things running smoothly for at least one of them. The other two weddings are out of state as well, I'm sure I would be pulling out my hair as a mom at that point.

Leah and Alex were so meant for each other, their hearts so strong in their beliefs in God; such a beautiful sight to see these days. Alex tried for many many years to get Leah's attention, and when I say many, I mean TEN!!! He must have a lot of patience. He knew what he wanted and was willing to wait for his bride. Their friends surrounded them like they were family, I don't think I've ever seen a couple with friends quite like theirs. Truly a blessing!! I was honored to be a part of this special occasion, witnessing these beautiful relationships, and sitting down to eat a plated meal at a wedding was just divine, so thank you again for including us in this important day! The wedding, the day, the food and fellowship was perfect!
