North Carolina Destination Wedding Photographer | Southern Pines, Pinehurst NC Wedding Photographer | Oak Island NC Wedding Photographer | {E & K} Same-Sex Wedding in North Carolina

From the very first phone call with these guys, I was SO stoked about their wedding. Yeah - before they even booked! I mean...who doesn't love a good beach wedding? It was my first beach wedding, and by far my favorite wedding ever! This was one of the most beautiful styled weddings I've ever seen though. Elijah and Khary {and their groomal party} did it all themselves! There were candles and seashells and beautiful photos everywhere, not to mention the table runners & decorations matched the stunning beach house colors! PERFECT.

Elijah wasn't joking when he told me & my second shooter that this would be one of the most diverse weddings we'd ever see ;) Both sides had groomsmaids and groomsmen, one of the grooms' fathers officiated the ceremony, the groomal party all wore white with the grooms, and their puppy Titus was the ring bearer! They even had a sign before going down to the beach that Titus had left his shoes in Florida & for everyone else to do the same for the ceremony. Titus really was an amazingly well-behaved pup. He even shook my hand - but we all know what a dog lover I am ;)

After the ceremony, we got to steal the groomal party away for photos. These guys were really up for anything. My favorite photo of the evening is probably the chest bump - this was a specific request from Elijah, but at the last minute I got the bridal party to stand in the background so they'd be visible too. I couldn't be happier with the way their photos turned out!

I could NOT get over how beautiful the ceremony location was, until I went in to the 6 bedroom beach house on Caswell Beach. I mean...wow. Three floors of beautifully decorated EVERYTHING! Every table you looked at had a gorgeous array of seashells & engagement photos, all kinds of beachy things. I've never taken so many detail shots in my life - but then again, I've never had so many beautiful details to photograph! Kudos to this couple for creating a wedding worthy of Style Me Pretty and Southern Bride & Groom Magazines. Kudos to them for this beautiful love they've got. Kudos to their families and friends for being so so sweet to me and my second on this gorgeous day. Congratulations you guys, I'm so very happy for you & I wish you nothing but the best! Thank you so much for letting me be part of this perfect day!
