Wilmington NC Wedding Photographer
Hey! I'm Glenn
When my family and I moved to Washington D.C. in 1999, they only took what mattered.
Clothes, passports, and photos.
That stuck with me.
Photos aren’t just memories. They’re proof. Proof of who you were, what life looked like, what mattered at that time.
That’s what I think about when I’m shooting a wedding.
Not perfect poses. Not trends.
Just what actually happened.
San Fabian, Philippines, 2001
Dear couples
If there's one thing you'll take away from this, its this...
I look for the perfect from the imperfections.
I’m paying attention to what’s real. The quick moments, the in-between stuff, the things you don’t notice until later.
That’s usually what ends up mattering most.
I photograph people the way I’d want to be remembered.
Honest. A little messy. Real.
Pink Penguin Studios
I made this company in Las Vegas in 2018 with the intention of doing weddings and portrait.
I absolutely love penguins and I think they're really dapper. Pink reminds me of Elvis' Cadillac.
My first wedding that I photographed was at the White Chapel. So I called myself Pink Penguin Studios. So I stuck with that.
One package that I included was called the "Hangover Experience" where couples would hire me to follow them around and photograph them walking around Vegas. Some of them I had to sign an NDA for.
Covid-era
Fast-forward 2020, covid happened and my business and most photographers I know in the industry quickly fell apart. In March 2020, the town was, for the first time, empty.
I picked up as many shoots scraping by for the most part. Documenting whatever was happening, whether if it was the strip or people lining up at the Food bank.
George Floyd Protests
When I thought that the world dying, George Floyd protests happened. the world was on literally on fire(Australia). I photographed people protesting in Las Vegas. There were police helicopters, cops in military uniform, with gas masks, and riot shields. Protests ensued for a number of days. Living in my SUV and capturing whatever is left from the event.
Van-Lifing in Utah
My phone rang, it was my mom. She's telling me to come home. I told her I wasn't ready to leave yet and was going to head up to UT to try and find some photo work there. So I converted my SUV into a livable space. It was very roomy and knew how to get around town.
Fortunately, the state was a lot more lenient in their covid protocalls. I wanted to photograph couples outdoors, and really try to sell myself as a backyard wedding photographer. I picked up a few weddings here and there. I picked up a few tricks on the road as well. Like where to shower, where to stay in the Bureau of Land Management(BLM), and where to advertise my work.
March 2020-2022
My homebase
I had a lot of fun in Van Life-ing for 8 whole months in Utah...but being there wasn't sustainable. I needed a home base. In 2021, I headed east. I didn't know anything about Wilmington but a friend lent me her space for a short time until I am able to get back up my two feet.
After a while, I found the love my life, got married and are living in downtown Wilmington.
