Bridal Show at the Durham, NC Hilton

Well, I did it. I just finished up with my first bridal show on the east coast over at the Hilton Hotel in Durham, NC. I've been to a lot of bridal shows over the years and this one was unique in this one, very memorable way... I felt like I really was able to connect with some people and had more time to really chat with them.

Certainly there were less brides than at some of the other shows I've been part of in the Bay Area, but I think I enjoyed the fact that there were fewer people at the show and the conversations ended up being more meaningful.

I have some follow up calls to make now. Ciao for now!

Ocean Isle, NC Wedding

Stephanie and Justin got married last weekend in Ocean Isle Beach, NC. Being a photographer for destination weddings presents its challenges (mostly in making sure I pack everything I am going to need), but, as you can see from the photos, the location is always stunning and filled with opportunity.

It is important to mention that we stayed at the Ocean Isle Inn because the place is just awesome. Large affordable rooms, ocean view and wonderful customer service. They have access to the beach as well as an indoor and outdoor pool for families that have kids too young to swim in the ocean (like mine).











The Wedding and Reception itself were held at The Isles Restaurant, less than a mile from theOcean Isle Inn. As always, I like to rate wedding reception venues based on customer service and this place was wonderful - I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a destination wedding without the destination price tag.
