Before I gush on about this Spring Wedding at Airlie Gardens, let’s start this party with a fun fact! Holly and Jack were actually the very FIRST North Carolina couple to book me for a wedding upon Joshua and I’s move to NC from the Tampa area. Actually, she and Jack booked me before we even moved to the state! When I first messaged her after the initial inquiry it was like talking to a friend and I think we both knew pretty early on that our chance online encounter was the perfect couple/photographer match up.

Fast forward through the year of planning and here we are: Wedding Day!

Although warm as late May was upon us on the coast of Wilmington, this Spring Wedding at Airlie Gardens was full of sunshine and a good time. The setting at Airlie is the perfect blend of romantic and relaxed; which is perfect for a couple like Holly and Jack who are totally classy but love to kick it back for a good time!

I’m so glad the wedding world brought Holly and Jack into my life. Getting to look back on these images and all the fun we had with them and their friends reminds me how small connections can lead to big adventures. I hope you enjoy these good times as much as we all did!
