Alyson + Michael 9.10.11 Bald Head Island

January 27, 2012 By Courtney Leave a Comment

Alyson & Michael’s Bald Head Island Wedding on 9-1-11 (how cool is THAT date!) was BEAUTIFUL. Being on Bald Head Island you feel a closeness to those around you. Usually when you are invited to a wedding on the island, it is because you are truly special to the couple and their family. Not just a warm body to fill up an large church. Getting there takes effort ! SO, that said, you could tell the friends and family that were on the wedding journey with Alyson & Michael were a special group.

Alyson had an amazing Vera Wang gown. Everyone got ready at different houses then we did a “First Look” at “Old Baldy”, the lighthouse. Then it was onto the gold carts and over to the Bald Head Island Club. From there the ceremony was lovely and emotional. Once they kissed and sealed the deal we took the formal and fun group shots.

From there we took advantage of the AMAZING sunsets on the island and then headed inside to dance and party until midnight !

Congratulations guys & thank you for including us in your celebration !

Thank you too to the wedding professionals who helped make the day so wonderful

Tiffany + Adam. High Point, NC

Tiffany and Adam are one of those couples that are so cute together ! They are so comfortable with each other and their family and friends that the wedding takes on a whole new vibe. The ceremony was sweet. The toasts were heartfelt, numerous and FUNNY! The venue was very cool. The Lofts at Union Square in High Point, NC was a refreshing change to an urban, warehouse setting. We had a GREAT time ! Many of the family and friends that were at the wedding we had worked with in the past and so it was like a homecoming for us. Thank you Tiffany & Adam ! Hugs.

Also, thank you’s to all the wedding professionals who helped make this day so great! It takes a village

Andrea. Boudoir

I was able to work with the coolest group of girls (and a 1961 Convertible Corvette) that wanted to do a boudior shoot and of course I said… YES ! They were doing it for various reasons – marriage, divorce, self. Regardless these ladies rocked it. A little music and beverage and good female encouragement and friendship, drove this shoot over the top !

Andrea was beautiful and easy to photograph. I was able to shoot is with a good friend and fellow photographer Sara Morris. Andrea was at ease and ready to knock our socks off. Here is a sampling… Let’s do it again !

The fun with Jess & Ryan was upped a notch when they got into their wedding clothes and got into the water. Us too ! Ryan built a fire which set the mood. From there, we let the waves & sunset dictate and had a blast !!

Jess + Ryan + Guitar = Part 1

October 5, 2011 By Courtney Leave a Comment

Jess & Ryan are such a cool , fun couple. They wanted to do a two part Trash the Dress after their wedding. We were jazzed that not only did they want to Trash the Dress but it was TWO PARTS.

For the first part we hung out on the beach below the Fort Fisher Aquarium. There was music, guitars (Ryan’s guitar was his wedding gift) and a good vibe. Plus love & laughter. Good times!

The second part…. it’s to come !
