Simply stunning! Just two days before Autumn’s bridal session she switched her location to the historic Bellamy Mansion in downtown Wilmington, NC. The Bellamy Mansion is a spectacular example of antebellum architecture built in the 1800’s. The porch absolutely gets me. Tall white columns, whiteboarding, and forest green shutters. Add in a beautiful bride like Autumn and […]

You may or may not know how closely I get attached with my couples. I adore them so much and thoroughly love what I do. To the point where I may wipe a tear behind the camera. This wedding pulled on my heart strings for sure. A week before Bethany and Tyler’s wedding, Bethany had […]

On Valentine’s Day I wouldn’t want to share any other photos than the ones of these two! Jack and Morgan were married on Feb 3rd in Walnut Cove, NC at the bride’s home church. A small and intimated ceremony of close family and friends. The church flooded with light, as piano music was play, a […]

I was ecstatic to hear about Kayla and Lucas were engaged! They are closed friends with a dear previous JGP couple. In December she told me she wanted her engagement session to be in the snow. Which was perfect since Kayla is the first bride to live right down the road from me. After waiting […]

When your best friend’s little sister is getting proposed to and her boyfriend asks for your help,  it’s easy to get pretty creative! The day started like any other Monday. TC and Emily have Monday’s off and the weather was perfect, spite it being very chilly. TC had little notes for Emily through out the day. The first […]

I finally got to meet up with Bethany and Tyler in Whiteville, North Carolina while they were in town for the holidays. It wasn’t my first time visiting this small town. The downtown streets and buildings, the Madison House, and Bethany’s aunt’s backyard was the perfect sitting for their engagement session. Whiteville is Bethany’s hometown […]

I’m gonna be very honest. I have a sweet spot for birth stories!! After doing a hand full of these I just can’t get over the raw emotion of seeing someone you care about become a parent! In the earlier morning on January 4th, while snow covered the grounds in Raleigh, NC at UNC Rex […]
