Adrienne and Chip watch the sun going down
I love to take pictures; I love the Beach. That makes taking pictures at the beach something I REALLY love. So I was excited when Adrienne and Chip told me they wanted to have their engagement session at Wrightsville Beach. These guys really love the beach, too, and they’re even having their wedding in Wilmington next April, so they knew photos on the beach would be more meaningful for them than any other location. We decided on an afternoon shoot, with the hopes of doing downtown Wilmington, then going over to the beach for sunset.
The day of the shoot I wok up to clouds and rain in the Raleigh area. I talked with Adrienne and we were both worried about the weather, but I knew that things change quickly at the beach. To make things easier, though, we decided to skip the downtown pictures and just focus on Wrightsville. The drive down was cloudy, cloudy, cloudy…then, about an hour out, the clouds started to break, and the sun started popping through. By the time I got over to the the south end of Wrightsville Beach, we had our perfect weather, and the pictures turned out great.
Thanks, guys. I’m excited for the wedding next April.
Love the casual nature of beach shoots; so much fun
Even in black and white, the dune grass waving in the wind still looks so cool
Looking good, Adrienne
You can really fell the connection with these guys
A beautiful pre-sunset silhouette picture
Doesn't every kiss contain a little bit of sunshine?
Love the soft light of the twilight beach
Sweet
Love this pic of you guys
You look fabulous, Adrienne
Very dapper, Chip
...and the romance novel cover
Who doesn't get excited by a beautiful sunset?
This is one of my favorites; love all the elements here
I can't claim credit for the idea; that was Adrienne. But, I love the outcome; so fun
The clouds made the sunset that much prettier
Last photo of the session, and my favorite
