Hey, I'm Bri, a wedding and couples photographer based in Wilmington, NC, shooting all over the East Coast and beyond. I work in digital and film, mixing in 35mm, medium format, Polaroids, and Super 8 depending on your day. I'm not chasing posed shots. I'm after the real moments, the ones that happen in between, because that's where the honest emotion lives. My own wedding taught me exactly what I didn't want in a photographer, and it's shaped how I show up for every couple since. I pay attention, stay close but out of the way, and I'd love to hear about your day.

“I hope at the end of reading this review, your heart is beaming with joy and excitement knowing that this is THE person who can capture those special moments you want to look back on years down the road. Long story short - CA girl moves to OH. My love and I created a home. Bri is now family. I knew all I had to do was have an Americano ready and outfits laid out. In seconds we were laughing and rollin. Bri captured the warm light that pours through the blinds of our big loft windows so magically. Her energy is genuine and calming. I loved that her style was more candid and authentic than structured because as Austin and I sipped coffee, danced around and loved each other, she was capturing those moments most dream about – the butterfly smiles, the gestures sometimes you think only you two notice, the kisses given that make your heart full. What I didn't truly realize, was how important it is to have photographer that makes you feel comfortable. This is a person seeing the most intimate, important moments of your life and I couldn't imagine anyone else being behind the lens capturing those other than Bri. I feel so fortunate to share some big life moments with Bri and can't recommend her enough. We love her and know you will too!!”

The florals they created were beautiful, and I still have guests inquiring about who my florist was! They provided us with bridal/bridesmaids bouquets, table arrangements, bar arrangements, floating candles, and an arbor that was the most STUNNING backdrop for our ceremony. They provided helpful tips and suggestions to implement other elements into our design and I am so happy they did! We ended up incorporating fruits into some of our tables schemes and it was SO CUTE. The colors blended perfectly with our vision and venue. The two of them have immense talent and I feel so lucky that they were available on our wedding day.

Hi, my name is Malia! I am a photographer based in Wilmington, NC. I specialize in Weddings, families and newborns. I have always been passionate about photography and I started when I was young with a little camera my mom got me from a thrift store and just grown from there. Since then, I have worked with other photographers and my mother who owns a wedding rental company so I know my way around weddings. When I am not taking pictures, you can find me exploring with my little family!

“Malia Lynn Photo was an amazing choice for our engagement photography! From the very first interaction, their communication was easy, friendly, and understandable, which put us at ease right away. The quality of their work was truly fantastic - the photos are beautiful and elegant, capturing all the special moments of our day perfectly. Malia was so positive and gave us great guidance on posing, ensuring we were 100% comfortable. She is honestly so sweet and awesome, and did a beautiful job at capturing our precious memories. Malia made sure we felt relaxed and confident throughout the process, and we would highly recommend her to any couple looking for a polite, friendly, and talented wedding photographer!”

He also had an iPad and wrote out the names of the songs and the artist which was so helpful for all of our deaf friends at the wedding. I’d highly recommend Justin and Atlantic Premier!”
