Katy + Collin at Wrightsville Manor in Wilmington, NC.

Two people who love each other and their people so deeply and it showed in every single moment of this day!!

From the first look (that reaction from Collin 🥺) to the speeches that had me fumbling with my camera through tears, to a bridal party that brought every ounce of energy — this day had it ALL!!

The forecast for June 19, 2026 had everyone nervous as Tropical Storm Arthur was rolling through. But Katy’s parents said it best in their welcome toast: Arthur was Katy’s late grandfather’s name, and the rain that morning was him showing up to walk her into her perfect day. The skies cleared. The sun came out. And she had exactly the wedding she dreamed of with her grandfather looking down on the pure bliss. 

The ceremony was magic. The portraits were chef’s kiss. And then the dance floor opened and this crowd did not stop!! Not once. Until the McDonald’s arrived, obviously.

And as the Man of Honor said, June 19th was the perfect day to celebrate Juneteenth, Pride, and for the start of a forever love story!!
