Mike + Rhiannon | Topsail Island Wedding

I'm really excited to share this wedding with you. Small, intimate, and all about them. I first met Mike about 3 years ago when I started crossfit. He was one of my coaches. Over those 3 years he became a good friend and someone I just loved being around. I quickly started hearing about Rhiannon. This girl he spoke of with such pride. After meeting her I saw what he saw. She is simply incredible. Funny, caring, beautiful and I've never heard such a genuine and great laugh as she has. These 2 have been together and engaged for years. Yesterday, they finally got married! A family only ceremony in nana's church and a reception by the waterway with friends and family. The day could not have been more perfect. They gave me plenty of time for photos. We even went out to the beach for a while and had a blast shooting and just playing around. I did very little directing and just let the 2 of them be themselves. Mike's genuine love for Rhiannon showed out there. The way he held her, and looked at her. You can't pose that. You can force that. It just came naturally for them. On the way to the beach, they decided they wanted fudge so we stopped in at little shop. I mean, its their wedding day and if thats what they want, then lets do it! 

Rhiannon's aunt and uncle hosted the reception at their home by the water under a white tent. Dinner, drinks dancing. The night was perfect. I am so incredibly happy for my friends wish them nothing but happiness! Mike and Rhiannon, thank you for having me and including me as a guest. I truly enjoyed and was honored to be a part of the best day of your life. Much love.
