Matt + Melissa | Wrightsville Beach Proposal

I had the pleasure of photographing Matt’s proposal to Melissa down at the North End of Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina, in the shadow of Shell Island Resort. I positioned myself behind a dune while Matt led Melissa onto the beach until the time was right. He popped the question well after sunset, as a beautiful fog had surrounded them, filtering through the reds and pinks from the sky. Here are a few frames.

Michael+Lindsay | Emerald Isle, NC Engagement Photographer

I scooted up the coast a few months back to photograph Michael and Lindsay’s Engagement Session in Emerald Isle. They made the drive from Greenville, NC where Michael is a Lawyer and Lindsay is an archeologist! They were super fun and relaxed, making for some awesome moments. Emerald Isle is such an awesome beach that I don’t get to visit as often as I’d like. We finished up just before sunset, so I scooted over to a public boat ramp to shoot the sunset. I’ve included those images as well.. Looking forward to seeing these guys again in September for their wedding.

Clay+Amy | Engagement | North End, Wrightsville Beach, NC

These two just got hitched a few weeks ago. I’ve known Clay since we were in diapers hussling trapper-keepers and nike pumps. The least I could do for the ole chap is shoot some Engagement photos for them. This was a short session, just walking around the expansive North End of Wrightsville Beach, NC, in the shadows of Shell Island Resort. We hung out in dunes, walked the shoreline & ended up in the marsh. Here’s what we got. We were counting on a good sunset to cap off the session, that didn’t come to fruition, but I think we still came away with some winners. Being a groomman in their wedding, I wasn’t able to shoot their wedding images for them, but I did manage to obscurely follow them around shooting some video, you can find that final video at the bottom of this post. Might have to add video to my wedding services…. Stay tuned. Cheers.
