She needed a second wedding photographer and I was only too happy to help out! I started the day by meeting the bride at her home in Wilmington for a few minutes of getting ready photos. We then made our way over to Saint Peter & Paul Catholic Church (also in Wilmington). It was a amazing church! I really can’t remember seeing a more ornate altar. After the wedding ceremony, we took a short drive over to Long Beach for their reception at Hotel Maya (formerly Coast Long Beach Hotel). After walking out of the hotel to the concrete strand that follows the bay contours, you can see a cool bow-on view of the Queen Mary. Here are just a few quick picks from the wedding.

The wedding party included the groom’s brother, three of the bride’s sisters, and
the matron of honor. They were a super nice group and really fun to photograph!
