It’s hard to believe Amy and Matt had their wedding at the Hilton Garden Inn beach access in April of this year. It just doesn’t feel that long ago we were in Kitty Hawk! There were plenty overcast skies but the rain held off until the reception began.

Myrna and Paul decided to hold their wedding and ceremony at The Pointe Golf Club in Powell’s Point, NC. I had never shot there before. I was very surprised at the hospitality of the facility. There were rooms for the bridal party, plenty of reception space, and beautiful grounds for the ceremony and pictures. I was able to spend some time with owner Keith Hall and his manager Angela. They are both fast at work creating an all-inclusive wedding facility with the Pointe. They have an extremely friendly staff and a no nonsense attitude towards the big day.

I’m so thankful my web designer fixed my blog. I can finally get more content on here. Kathy and Jeff held a super fantastic wedding outside of a GORGEOUS home in Kill Devil Hills in October of last year. I’ve had quite my share of “event home” weddings but this one took the cake. We were close enough to the sound for a beautiful sunset, the grounds were large enough for a tent and there was a nice pool area designated for cocktail hour. Beautiful.

Erika will be posing for me for a commercial shoot later on. We had some time to hang out and get to know each other. We are both mutual friends with Juan. Thanks guys!
I didn’t shoot as much as I normally do this year. I wanted to enjoy it instead. Below are a few images from the event.
Above: Thanks to Michele Hutchinson for the doggie pic! We had a lot of fun here.  Unfortunately there was an explosion on Ocracoke Island. A fireworks truck exploded. Two are reported dead there. Our thoughts are with them.
I’m so so happy Jill and Tim had time for their engagement photos before their wedding in a few days. We plan to take some of these images and make a sign in book for their reception!
