Wilmington Riverside Wedding | Beautiful Fall Colors

If you’re wondering what a Wilmington riverside wedding in North Carolina looks like, stop here! Just recently I saw a meme on the internet that showed what my friends think it’s like living in Florida, but even as there are many gems in Florida, I too live in pine trees and palmettos. As the summer heat is finally breaking here in the Sunshine state, we are looking forward to a change of scenery (as well as a change in season!) this week as we make our way up the coast to the historic Wilmington, North Carolina! We’ve had a full year of weddings with incredible moments and sweet families and we can’t wait to trade a few palm trees for some historical backdrops! Traveling to a new place to create images is exciting and challenging. As artists it demands us to problem solve on the spot, and maybe show the beauty of a well known place with a new perspective.

Well, what can I say? We have beautiful river views at home in Florida, but none have a WWII battleship carved into the skyline during a sunset! This was something quite noticeable as the curtains were drawn back during cake cutting to reveal the town’s magnificent setting! And oh my, what an amazing wedding and couple! We began the day with the bridal party on separate floors of the luxurious Hilton Riverside. As the time drew near to the ceremony we were whisked away in one of Wilmington’s own downtown trolleys! The ceremony itself was a dream for all, including us as we were given full permission to shoot all over. Making our way back to the reception we made a few stops on our trolley tour to take some gorgeous photos. If you want to see more take a peek at the images below and make sure to leave your congratulations and well wishes for the newlyweds!
