Jenn’s Bridal Session @ The Graystone Inn, Wilmington, NC {Wilmington, NC, Photographer}

It wont be very often that I’ll have the opportunity to take a dear friends bridal portraits, but back in July I got to do just that.  Jenn had asked me back when Ben and herself first got engaged if I’d be willing to fly back and shoot her bridal portraits (and of course I said yes).  As the time got closer to our session we batted back and forth location ideas… I think we both would have loved to do the session outdoors, but considering it was July and ridiculously hot we opted for a session at The Graystone Inn, which is located in downtown Wilmington.  I don’t think we could have picked a better location, it was perfect for Jenn’s dress and the mood she was going for with her bridal portraits.  She was absolutely stunning in her dress.  Since this blog is up, it means that Jenn and Ben tied the knot on Saturday and I am sooo happy for the two of them and I hope y’all are having a blast in Mexico.  I hope you enjoy her bridal portraits…  Check back in a few weeks b/c I’ll have photos up that I snapped at the wedding…

Some of my favorite photographs from a wedding weekend are taken with everyone in khakis. I’ve been thinking about that lately. After almost twenty years of photographing weddings, I’ve learned that the moments my couples come back to years later are not always the ones you would expect.  The first look matters. The vows matter. […]

Rachel & Ben were married on an incredible fall weekend in the upstate of South Carolina.  The weekend started out with family and friends celebrating these two at the Greenville Country Club for the rehearsal dinner.  The included hugs, the most beautiful toasts, and Ben grabbing his guitar and playing/singing for guests.  That evening set […]
