We took a little trek to Elizabethtown, North Carolina to shoot this December wedding. The ceremony was held a week before Christmas, putting everyone involved in a warm and cheery mood! Brad and Jennifer said ‘I do’, then danced the night away with their family and friends! Santa even made an appearance!
Our good friend Ray Baca of Baca Photography was on hand to capture all Brad and Jennifer’s special moments with his signature blend of photography!
A beautiful November day. A loving family. A gorgeous venue. All of these things add up to a memorable day in downtown Wilmington as Michael and Jennifer let us take part in their wedding!
The ceremony took place at St. Mary’s Cathedral. It was my first time in this historic venue and I was completely overwhelmed by the beauty of the building! High arching ceilings, gorgeous stained glass, and the un-mistakable Father Bob provided a perfect setting for our couple to tie the knot.
After the ceremony, we got to have some fun on the riverfront. We teamed up with Ray Baca from Baca Photography and got some awesome shots while the couple spent a little down time from the wedding spectacle.
Eventually we made it to Candles for the reception, wrapping up the night with lots of toasts, dancing and well-wishes for the happy new couple!
This was definitely the most interesting wedding I’ve shot! This Ethiopian-infused Wrightsville Beach ceremony and reception was a delightful piece of cultural pie! Complete with traditional garb, songs, and dancing there was no question that this eclectic gathering of family and friends were there to have a celebration…and I can’t think of a better couple to celebrate!
I was able to over-hear Jerry talking to the pastor before the ceremony. That conversation provided me an insight into who, not only he is, but who Rediet is as well. Inside and out this couple are wonderful people that have found their perfect match in each other!
Oh, and by the way – best proposal story ever:
Jerry ran a marathon (26 miles FYI) and popped the question at the end of the race! Unbelievable story! Unbelievable wedding! Unbelievable couple!
Congratulations Jerry and Rediet! Thanks for letting us be a part of your special day!
I’ve never shot a wedding where I knew so many people! Those relationships provided a comfort factor with the bride, groom, bridal party, and guests that allowed for some pretty fantastic moments to be caught on tape!
It was a perfect November day at Beau Rivage and I don’t see how it could have gone any better. The ceremony was beautiful and the reception was a blast!
Enjoy these highlights and let us know what you think!
