Beach Wedding photography: Gina & Murphy

Jonathan and Logan traveled out to Oriental NC to photograph Gina and Murphy's fantastic wedding at a new venue: River Dunes. There was a lot of action with this crowd! Here are some of our favorites from the two days we spent with them...

As you can see, it may not be the best idea to swing a bride around at the edge of a dock that you don't realize is two levels. Gina got soaked (accidentally) at the rehearsal dinner... but she was a good sport about it!



she still had a smile on her face...


it's all in the details...


Thanks to Logan for this shot...


Gina and the girls...


Murphy is a big fisherman, so getting him and his guys out on the boats was not a hard thing to do... gotta love the name of the boat on this one...


waiting for his bride....


everything was perfect...


doesn't this look like an old New England village?


S.W.A.K...




put your head on my shoulder...


lovely first dance...


a little limbo never hurt anyone...




thanks guys, hope you had a great honeymoon!

Greensboro wedding photography: Meredith & Matt

Jonathan and Judy had a the privilege of photographing a great wedding last week! The day featured kissing contests, piano serenades, and a unique use of candles during the ceremony, among other things... Meredith and Matt are just the coolest couple. They and their friends were up for anything, and we got some great shots, as you can see below...

the beautiful bride...


the whole congregation got to be part of the ceremony. Each person had a candle, and then 'shared their light' with everyone else, including the bride and groom... very cool!


the happily-newly-married couple!


a little nuzzling never hurt anyone...


did we tell you this group was laid back?


a little something different... the Proximity is such a great spot for drama!


Matt surprised Meredith (and the crowd) with a touching piano serenade...


to the tune of "to Make You Feel My Love"
