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…

I was standing on a porch in Highlands last fall, watching the fog roll down over the mountains while a bride got her veil pinned in by her mom. Nobody was rushing. There was coffee going cold on a side table and somebody’s grandfather telling a story in the next room. And I remember thinking: […]
