My first wedding on Bald Head Island began with heavy rain, lightning, and a delayed morning ferry, but you’d never guess it from the way the evening looked. By sunset, the weather had cleared, and we headed out to the dunes for photographs beneath a beautiful pink sky. Some of my favorite frames are here: the two of them laughing together, her dress catching the wind, and that incredible stretch of coastline behind them. It was a wonderful introduction to photographing weddings on the island, and I’m already looking forward to returning.
