I photographed Elisa and Chris's wedding in 2024. They're a client turned to long time friends. They are from Washington and flew in to visit their parent's get away home. They had around 20 guests. Ceremony at the chapel. Portraits right after. No long travel between locations.


That changes the pace of the day. More time. Less rushing. Cleaner transitions.

Most weddings here happen at the chapel, Bald Head Island Club, or private homes. Beach portraits usually happen right after while everything is still close.
