Saint Thomas Preservation Hall downtown wedding. Alfreda + Al’s Black and White Affair.


Back to Blog

Alfreda knew exactly what she wanted for her evening wedding to the love of her life. She wanted a romantic black and white affair filled with candles, beautiful white flowers everywhere, and a lot of love.  There was no shortage of love at this wedding, that is for sure!  As for the beautiful decor, Alfreda left all of the details up to the very talented designer/coordinator Brittany of Orchid Island Events.  Alfreda + Al just relocated to Wilmington, and had been planning a destination wedding, and Alfreda said it herself, she couldn’t have done it without Brittany!  My associate, Trinity, did an amazing job capturing the details of this wedding.  Be prepared there are a lot of details shots in this post.  Everything was so gorgeous, and we hope this helps all of you brides that are still looking for inspiration for your upcoming wedding.  The rest of this post is filled with emotion.  This was not one of those weddings where we took a lot of time for “formal” photos.  This couple preferred us take a more candid approach, which I am always happy to do.

 

Starting with their first glance.   It was already dark outside, since the ceremony didn’t start until 6pm, so they first saw eachother in the little parlor at the church.

I love the way Trinity photographed the bride’s shoes. Simple, yet beautiful!

The First Glance 🙂

Some pre-wedding jitters.  It felt a little weird photographing the bride while she was have a “moment.” But I knew she would appreciate this later 🙂

The darling flower girl, peaking around the corner before she walked down the isle.  The stunning details…
