Jenn & Ben (a little warmer engagement session)… {Wilmington, NC, Engagement Photographer}

Back in December Jenn and Ben got engaged and I just happened to be in the same NC in the same city a few days after it happened.  I was so excited to get to take their engagement photos and fell in love with so many of them.  A few weekends ago I flew into Wilmington again to take Jenn’s bridal portraits.  Well while I was there Ben decided to visit as well so that we could get a few more photos of the two of them in more summery attire.  We had originally planned to take the photos down on the beach  b/c Jenn is a complete beach bum, but the we got hit by an early evening thunderstorm… so we went back into town and went onto UNC-Wilmington’s campus (GO SEAHAWKS!!!)… Jenn and I both graduated from UNCW so it was neat to be back on campus and shooting their session there.  We went straight to Randall Library b/c there is a wrap around covered area around the entire building that happened to let in the most perfect light!!  Here’s a few shoots from our very humid, hot and dodging the rain session…

When couples ask me about Charleston wedding season, I always start with the same honest truth: Charleston is gorgeous year-round, but timing makes all the difference for your photos. After photographing dozens of weddings in this beautiful city, I’ve learned which months give you that dreamy, effortless light and which ones require some serious strategy […]
