Here are the bridal portraits of Susan, our bride from last weekend's wedding. Now that she's married we can share them with you. She is so much fun and a bit of an actress so she was a natural in front of the camera.

Here are the engagement photos of Melissa and Chuck. What a great couple. Melissa has always dreamed of getting married on Bald Head Island. Her family vacations there every year. They plan to marry in May. We took the opportunity to shoot their engagement photos while they were in town on their family vacation this year since they live out of state. They both work for PPD so they are in Wilmington frequently as well. I love her style. She wore this cool printed dress that really shows her personality. She also skipped the traditional engagement ring for a set of Tiffany bands that are to die for. There will be pictures taken of those at the wedding.

We had the pleasure of shooting Megan and Walter's engagement photos this July. They are getting married this October at the Temple Garden in Landfall. If you are thinking that she looks familiar, you're right. She's a model for Reedee, a designer clothing store on Military Cutoff Rd. Their ad is featured in each months magazine of Focus On The Coast.

We had a lot of fun taking engagement photos of Nina and Will. They had some really fun ideas for their photos. Will is a drummer and it was fun to add some musical references to their photos. They were very cute together, very in love and very relaxed in front of the camera. A photographers dream!

Jennifer and Chris got married on the dock near Jennifer's parents home in Holden Beach. I love the way they decorated the long pathway to the ceremony site with lots of flowers! The reception was held close by under a tent while guests enjoyed the music of a steel drum band. 

Take a look at the beautiful wedding of Jennifer and JT. They got married in Clayton and then had their reception at the Wakefield Plantation Country Club. One of my favorite images of the day was the aerial photo that Laura took from the balcony of Jennifer and JT  walking back down the aisle as a newly married couple. The church did not allow flash and I love the slight blur of the people clapping in the aisles. It was a perfect day and we were so happy to be a part of the celebration! 

We took engagement photos of Mary Catherine and Phil at the very spot that they got engaged this past December! Right next to the Oceanic on Wrightsville Beach. Very romantic! We had to deal with major wind on the day we took these photos. Mary Catherine and Phil braved the wind and managed to look perfectly wind blown for their photos! This may be only the beginning of the wind for them- they are getting married on Bald Head Island this fall. We'll keep our fingers crossed for a calm day!  

Two words to describe Katie- perky and fun!  Albie- easy going, genuinely nice and totally head over heals for Katie! You can tell by the way he looks at her in these photos! We had lots of fun taking their photos on the NC State campus. They both went to school there and Katie works as a recruiter for the football team- so NC State holds a lot of meaning for them as a couple. They also brought along their cute dog Finley for a 'whole family' portrait. Isn't he cute- I couldn't resist taking a few individual portraits just of him!
