Fripp Island Beach Club Wedding

Welcome to the most beautiful Fripp Island Beach Club wedding!! Not familiar with Fripp Island? It's right outside of Beaufort, next to Hunting Island State Park, and is a fabulous island community with an ocean beach club perfect to hold your wedding reception. The beach is quiet (unlike Hilton Head which is a close drive), and the island is full of wildlife. Morgan & Sean have vacationed here for years and knew when they tied the knot, a Fripp Island wedding was what they envisioned. Fripp has a big piece of their heart, and now one even bigger.Get ready for a family of deer that come up during Morgan's portrait time, and the greatest dog best man (was he a best man? was he a groomsman? either way, he was right by the groom's side and did AMAZING). But first, let's get into some beautiful details. Morgan is a girl after my own heart- she loves interior design and focuses on how everything ties in together. Her florals, her robes, her mismatched bridesmaid's dresses- everything mimicked the colors of the sunset. Look for pinks, yellows, oranges, corals.. Morgan did a great job. 

AND. THAT. DRESS. Purchased at The Wedding Dress Shoppe in Wilmington, NC it was a jaw dropper. Wait for the off the shoulder moment!

See that little pin? That's for Morgan's grandmother. Always a great idea to see how you can incorporate your loved ones into your images to look back on.1208 Washington Wedding Reception_0127.jpg

Meet the little man of the day!! He wanted absolutely nothing to do with my camera so I just became super silly, balanced things on my head, popped out of corners, made some games... we made it work!

AND THEN THERE WERE DEER!! As we were taking portraits, Morgan's family noticed this little guy creeping around. Morgan being the awesome person that she is, she said "GO TO THE KITCHEN AND GRAB FOOD!!" One minute later, crackers in hand, Morgan turns into Snow White and is a literal animal princess.1208 Washington Wedding Reception_0140.jpg1208 Washington Wedding Reception_0141.jpg1208 Washington Wedding Reception_0142.jpg
