Casey and Steven’s wedding yesterday at Copper Ridge on the Neuse was nothing short of extraordinary. I’m honestly struggling to find the words to express all the love, emotion, joy, and sheer fun that I was so fortunate to witness throughout their day.

Some weddings are beautiful. Some are emotional. Some are simply unforgettable. Casey and Steven’s was all three—and then some. ❤️

It was an absolute privilege to be there to document the beginning of their life together, surrounded by so much love and so many people who clearly adore them.

I’ll just say this: what a wedding. What a couple. What a joy to photograph. ❤️ Enjoy this sneak peek of photos!

What a beautiful evening on the waterfront in Beaufort for Olivia and David’s engagement session. I first met Olivia 10 years ago when I photographed her aunt’s wedding, and she was just a little girl then. Seeing her now, celebrating this exciting new chapter in her life with David, is truly special. It’s such a privilege to be invited back into families’ lives to document these meaningful milestones and cherished moments.
