I have been fortunate to photograph several sessions over the past years on the Watson’s beautiful property on the White Oak River in Peletier. The Farm 58 venue is about 5 minutes from the Emerald Isle Bridge on the Cape Carteret side. The property features wide open fields encircled by mature live oak trees along […]
 Julie and Steve had a colorful spring wedding in May.  They got married at the Memorial Park Beach in Pine Knoll Shores, NC with the reception at the Country Club of the Crystal Coast.  The bride chose a vibrant color scheme of royal blue and orange, explaining, “I felt it was a fun color choice […]
In the last 15 years as an Emerald Isle beach photographer, I have had several opportunities to help capture wedding proposals. I must admit, this “session” makes me more nervous than anything I do. I’m usually sitting in a beach chair trying to disguise myself as a regular tourist reading a magazine. I’m waiting for […]
Rob and Amber were married on the beautiful outdoor patio of the River Room, overlooking the Cape Fear River in downtown Wilmington, NC. Knot Too Shabby Events did an amazing job of decorating the wedding, which reflected the relaxed and playful couple. Rob and Amber added personal items like a Batman garter and cuff links […]
A new form of entertainment is available for weddings, parties, corporate events, and proms! The Gif It Photo Booth is a modern take on an old classic. There are several features that make it a better option for your event: This photo booth not only takes photos, but guests can choose to create a gif […]
Now for the post I’ve been waiting for!  After the reception, Tracey, Zack, Chalice (my second shooter for this wedding) and I went to Fort Macon State Park down at the end of Atlantic Beach.  We used the old Civil War fort to take some amazing images of this beautiful couple.  The rustic brick arches created a […]
I think you’ll be able to tell from Sarah and Peter’s wedding pictures that they were a playful couple. As a photographer who appreciates a good sense of humor, I really enjoyed the emotions and joy found throughout the wedding day. This wedding was full of photojournalistic moments. Sarah got ready at her family’s home […]
Kelsey and Jonathan were married by the water at their parents’ house on the sound near Mann’s Harbor, NC.  The wedding had a nautical theme and the main colors were navy with a bright green. The ceremony was outdoors with the water in the background. Just as Kelsey walked out of the house and started down […]
April and Jonathon had a lovely April wedding at St. Mildred Catholic Church in Swansboro, North Carolina.  The reception was held at the Coral Bay Club with a mint green, fuchsia, and charcoal gray color scheme.  “I actually planned my whole color scheme around a picture of a bouquet from Pinterest that had succulents and bright […]
Julia and Jared had an intimate ceremony at the Watson House in Emerald Isle. The space on the dock was just large enough for their immediate family members who attended. The setting was serene and very private over the marsh grass in Bogue Sound. Afterwards, the bride and groom shared a glass of champagne and […]
Sidney and Kevin wanted a very private ceremony in Emerald Isle. After spending years as a child vacationing at her family’s beach home in the coastal town on the Outer Banks, she decided there was no better place for a small ceremony made just for the two of them. This private dock near their beach […]
Paul is a die-hard sports fisherman and the rehearsal dinner is supposed to be oriented around the groom, right? So, what better place to have the dinner than overlooking Taylor’s Creek in the beautiful restaurant/event venue at the BoatHouse in Front Street Village. The venue sits just above the marina and has a gorgeous outdoor […]
