Catherine + Joel. Atlantic Beach, NC Wedding.

Beautiful location, happy families, amazing sunlight and an incredibly sweet bride and her handsome fiance all made for an amazing beach wedding at The Dunes Club in Atlantic Beach, NC. This wedding was great for so many reasons! My hubby grew up with Joel and Catherine in Goldsboro but I didn't meet them until the wedding day. It was so awesome to instantly "click" with everyone and spend the rest of the day with them :)

The Details :

Venue : The Dunes Club
Dress : Lula Kate
Band : Daddy Oh!
Cake : Homemade













I love this shot of Catherine and her grandma trying not to cry. So precious!









Joel and some of his guys sang a couple of songs before the ceremony began. It definitely brought tears to a lot of eyes.



Joel was one happy guy when he first saw Catherine walking down the aisle.





The ceremony was set up in a circle so everyone was close to the bride and groom.





Joel and Catherine requested a time of worship and prayer before saying their vows. It was such a beautiful part of the ceremony!













The light inside the dunes club is stunning!





These homemade pound cakes with berries and whipped cream topping looked soooo delicious!







After starting the reception, we went outside for a few minutes of romantics. It had been pouring rain since the end of the ceremony but cleared up for a while just for us :) Because of the humidity and heat, my lens fogged up immediately after going outside but I took a few shots while waiting for the fog to clear and I love the dreamy quality of these!









Seriously, you guys are too adorable.









This is definitely one of my favorites. They look so relaxed and in love!















After everyone finished eating, Daddy Oh! kept the dance floor hopping all night!



I love finding sweet moments on the sidelines like this.







Catherine + Joel, you are fantastic. Thank you for allowing me to share your wedding day with you :)
