Andrew and Jessica chose Southport, North Carolina for their winter engagement photos before they celebrate a gorgeous wedding in Bald Head Island next year.

As winter descended upon the charming town of Southport, North Carolina, I embarked on a journey to capture the magic of love amid the quaint streets and coastal beauty. Known for its warm hospitality and picturesque setting, Southport transformed into a cozy Hallmark-inspired haven for a couple whose engagement story unfolded against the backdrop of this idyllic coastal town.

Southport, with historic cottages and waterfront views, radiates a warmth that is simply irresistible, especially during the winter months. The air carries a gentle breeze, and the town’s cozy ambiance sets the stage for a romantic engagement session that feels like a scene from a Hallmark movie. Jessica and Andrew, wrapped in matching jackets with their pup and holding hands, embraced the season’s charm, creating an atmosphere of love and intimacy that mirrored the town’s inviting spirit.

One of the highlights of photographing in Southport during the winter was the ability to capture stunning waterfront views without the summer crowds. The Southport Pier, with its panoramic vistas of the Cape Fear River, became a canvas for capturing intimate moments against the serene backdrop of boats gently bobbing in the harbor. As the sun set, casting hues of pink and orange across the sky, we seized the opportunity to capture the couple in a warm, golden glow—a moment that felt straight out of a Hallmark winter romance.

As we wrapped up the session under the soft glow of the sunset and the sounds of the sea at the marina, I couldn’t help but feel grateful to have been part of such a heartwarming and picturesque winter engagement session in Southport, North Carolina.
