Engagement Session in Wilmington, NC | Claudia and Jake

September 30, 2018

I am SO excited to be working with Claudia and Jake not only because it has been about a year since I’ve had one of my Alpha Chi Omega sisters as one of my brides, but also because they are so easy to work with! They are from the same hometown area but didn’t meet until they were at a party in college. Jake saw Claudia from across the room and the rest was history!

They were engaged in Wilmington and they will be getting married in downtown Wilmington next year at Bakery 105, so it was only fitting that their engagement sessions also be in Wilmington, NC.

They love the beach and all of the coastal style Wilmington brings so we went to my favorite local neighborhood that gives all of the Charleston vibes. I love the way the sun pops through the trees, making the perfect backdrop for Claudia’s smile! After walking around the brightly colored houses, we headed to Wrightsville Beach for photos by the boats and on the beach.

I cannot WAIT for their big day in April 2019 because I know it’s going to be absolutely beautiful (and a whole lot of fun!!).
