We hired Chris to photograph our daughters wedding on Baldhead Island and to do a 'Trash the Dress' session a few days later. Chris' talents are just over the top. He's great at catching special moments and has a very special gift with lighting and nature settings! But my favorite thing about Chris is his sweet, calm demeanor. He puts everyone at ease and becomes a part of the wedding. He even calmed me down when people fell off my OCD timeline! He was completely focused on the Bride and Groom and they just fell in love with him! I think they will be special friends for life! Roberta
Enjoy this aerial view / virtual tour of Bald Head Island. Only one visit to this majestic island will leave you longing for your next vacation.
Bald head Island is a special place. I remember the first time I took my family BHI. They got to enjoy the stay while I was working. It took just one visit to Bald Head Island for our family to realize this was an incredibly special island and now they too had the opportunity to see first hand what I would come home and talk about. It was on that visit for just a couple of days that Bald Head Island would became one of our favorite places ever. Since that very first time we have been back almost every year. Even though we live on the water about an hour away, we still consider Bald Head Island our special place. When we are there it makes it seem that we are very far from home.
Over the years we have been able to share time with our extended families and introduce them to Bald Head Island. The response has always been the same… "when are we coming back?" It is hard to put into words what it is but when you have spent a few days there you know what I am saying.
Over the years I have photographed many weddings and families. There is a common thread in all of their stories. It is the time spent on BHI. I always hear "we have been coming here for years." I remember one bride telling me before the wedding that the families ( first time on the island) had already planned a reunion for the next year as they just enjoyed the time on Bald Head Island so much. One client told me that this is the only place he could slow down from business of work and life. There is something here that forces us into an uncommon simplicity. It encourages us to relax, slow down, enjoy creation, and most importantly enjoy one another.
When it comes to photography, Bald Head Island is such an awesome backdrop and palette of scenery and colors. From the beach, to the foliage, to the marsh lands, to the estuary of the Cape Fear River, or even the Shoals of the north side of the island, BHI is just one really cool place and one awesome adventure every time you go. It really is the perfect time to have family portraits made and preserve the memories of what is already or will become a family tradition. No better way to remember it but by preserving the seasons of life in pictures.
I photographed my first Bald Head Island Wedding in 2008. The couple met while they were interns at the Turtle Conservatory. It was on that day I fell in love with the entire Bald Head Island experience. I understood why they wanted to come back. Since that time I have had the privilege to photograph families, weddings, engagements, and even maternity sessions. This included several brides who were married on the Island.
What a perfect time to have family pictures made than when you are vacationing on Bald Head Island. It has been awesome to photograph the same families over the years. There are so many places to photograph on BHI that it can create very different looks for family photography. Some of the most popular locations are Old Baldy Lighthouse, Any of the beaches, the nature trails, the Bald Head Island Marina, or any of the parks or marsh views. What's great is we are on island time and we just get to go out and have fun. For me, that is part of the process. Keep the photography session fun and relaxed. That is in essence what Bald Head Island is…. fun and relaxed.
If you did a web search to find out what to wear for family photos, you most likely found a lot of different opinions on what to wear, and what not to wear. Some resources says whites are awesome while others state white is not a good idea. Everyone has an opinion. Even among photographers they differ significantly. While there is good advice, there are no hard fast rules.
These are your pictures, your family, your style. While there is some good advice I can give you, it ultimately comes down to what you want. No family is the same, and when photographing families together, several factors add to the variables. There are a few things to keep in mind when deciding what to wear for your family photos as Bald Head Island. What makes family pictures on Bald Head Island unique is that you are on vacation and may be limited on the amount of clothes you travel with to the island. For this reason, planning in ahead of time goes a long way for preparing for you family photography session on Bald Head Island.
Plan in advance to coordinate clothes for the photo shoot. Coordinating outfits for family photos doesn’t need to be difficult or stressful. You can never go wrong with selecting a few focal colors and textured clothing items. I think the big key is to focus on accomplishing a cohesive look and dressing in outfits that will allow your photos to take on a timeless feel if possible. I always tell people it is more about the people than the clothes but there should be some thought into what to wear. Sometimes it makes it easier to figure out what not to wear. Of course, the most important part of your family portrait is to document the love and personalities of your family. The family photo outfit thoughts below will allow you relax a bit more before the photo session. Coming soon
