Downtown Wilmington and Wrightsville Beach Engagement Session Kelley and Perry | Wilmington, NC

Couple Sessions

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…engagement season is in full swing and it’s my FAVORITE time of year for that reason 🙂 Especially when it includes breathtaking destination engagement sessions like Kelley and Perry’s!! We have been planning this shoot for quite a few months and Kelley worked so hard to pick the location that was PERFECT for them. She wanted somewhere that was sentimental and beautiful…and we found the perfect spot!

Drew and I traveled all the way to Wilmington, NC over the weekend to photograph these two!!! We had never been to that area of NC…but I’m SO glad we were able to go and so thankful Kelley and Perry gave us the opportunity. It is so darn cute and has the best little beachy charm about it…we just loved it! We explored the first evening and then spent the entire day Monday scouting the perfect locations in downtown…and I’d say we nailed it!! Then we headed off to Wrightsville Beach just in time for a golden hour sunset…it’s what dreams are made of!!

Enjoy some of my favorites of Kelley and Perry! I can’t WAIT to photograph their wedding later this summer!

    Ooooh these are lovely! There’s something about that golden southern light…;) And I’m SUCH a fan of gals wearing a white dress during engagement photos. So bridal and lovely! Great job, Hope!
