Carolina Beach in Wilmington, North Carolina has this GORGEOUS new(ish) venue. It was my first time working there for Tara and Brian’s wedding, and I am now a BIG fan. The space itself is gorgeous – beautiful clean white walls, tall ceilings, lots of natural light. The location is perfect, only about a two block walk to the beach and the boardwalk at Carolina Beach (even easier to get to if you have a golf cart). And here’s the best part – one of the biggest struggles for a wedding at the beach is parking. Kindred has its OWN PARKING LOT. I know that doesn’t sound exciting, but it’s truly a rarity. So that alone was a huge perk. The outdoor space is stunning for cocktail hour or walking around for portraits. It also has plenty of indoor space for super hot days, rainy days, or winter time.

Tara and Brian were an absolute pleasure to be around. Tara had this joy radiating from her, it was impossible to be near her and not be smiling. They were THRILLED to be marrying each other, and their family and friends were so happy to be part of it and support these two. Grateful to get to work with people like these two! They also booked my 35mm film add-on so, scroll through to the end to see the film photos as well!!! CONGRATS TARA & BRIAN!!!! A lifetime of happiness for you both!
