Introduction
Stephanie and Dave's engagement session at New Hanover Arboretum was beautiful! The couple was so in love and Brodie, their dog, was just the cutest. There are beautiful picnic areas, koi ponds, a Japanese house and zen garden, and tons of beautiful flowers at the arboretum. It was very humid during the shoot, but we made sure to take breaks in the shade and stay hydrated. I'm so happy with how the photos turned out and I'm sure Stephanie and Dave will cherish them for years to come.

The zen garden was my favorite part— it was so peaceful and serene. And of course, the flowers were stunning! Despite the humidity, we managed to get through the shoot without too much discomfort. All in all, it was a great experience and I'm so happy with how the photos turned out!

I am a Wilmington NC Wedding Photographer but I also enjoy writing. I find that writing helps me to better communicate my ideas and it also allows me to share my creative side. I have written several articles on photography, which has helped me to gain exposure for my business. In addition, writing has also allowed me to connect with other photographers and learn from their experiences. As a result, I am able to offer a unique perspective on both the art of photography and the business of photography.
