Wilmington Wedding

Although my heart and soul is with childrens photography I have been doing some weddings. These are from Ryan & Whitney's big day recently (see engagement photos at an earlier post). The weather forecast was calling for rain all weekend. The bottom dropped out about 2 hours before the ceremony and then the skies opened up just along enough for us to get through the ceremony & beginning of reception. It drizzled for the rest of the evening, but that didn't stop the celebration. The bride was dancing in the rain. I took 2000+ photos, and there were SOOO many good ones, it was hard to pick just a few to share....

excitement is an understatement for this flower girl who was getting ready to put on her dress!



the groom gave all the groomsman flasks. This was the best man and his gift.

Wedding parties always have two sides, the conservative & the party. There is alot of history and friendship b/w the people you choose to stand with you as you say your vows. I like to capture the true relationships for the group photos of wedding parties. Don't worry we do the serious ones too!

Wilmington, NC is a great city! It's has a mystical charm to it.
One of my favorite things about the city is the moss that grows in the trees.
