Celestial Waves photography was by far the best choice we could have made. For one, the pictures are absolutely stunning. We got them back quickly, the system is easy to use, and the pictures are a perfect mix of posed and candid. I have gotten SO many compliments on the pictures, but also about Seth and the company itself. They did so much to help make our day special, from helping the groomsmen put on their boutonnieres to keeping everyone looking great and having fun. I cannot thank them enough for everything they did to make our wedding day such a special day, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a phenomenal photographer.

Keirsten was perfect in every way! From how friendly she is, how involved she was, every step she took made our day that much better! She not only took our engagement photos which came out AMAZING and straight up had my crying at work when I got our sneak peaks but she was also our wedding photographer! She got my compliments from family and guests as to how great she is and how professional and impressive she is! I couldn’t agree more! Our next big event will be a baby shower and I know whenever that day comes, Keirsten will be the first person I call to capture those moments too!

Wilmington, NC
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,700

Hi, I’m Sarah, the photographer behind Booth Creative Co., a Wilmington, North Carolina wedding photographer serving couples across North Carolina and beyond. I believe wedding photos should feel like you. The quiet in-between moments, the laughter with your favorite people, the unexpected emotions, and the timeless portraits you and your family will treasure for years. My approach blends documentary storytelling with classic, intentional portraiture. Whether your celebration is laid-back and spontaneous or more traditional and structured, I adapt to what matters most and create honest images that reflect the true feeling of your day.

We couldn’t be happier with Sarah’s work. We switched things up and did a one year celebration of marriage party since we got married at the courthouse. I was worried I was going to make things difficult not being an actual wedding but from the very beginning her communication was confident, clear, and easy she made us feel so comfortable! The quality of her work is truly amazing, the end result is a stunning collection of images that we will cherish forever. We highly recommend Booth Creative Co. LLC to any couple planning their wedding!

Shegoes Photography & Design is truly an extension of who I am. My love for photography began through travel, capturing cultures and landscapes — but what always grounded me were the people and their stories. That perspective shapes how I photograph weddings today. I care deeply about the experience as much as the images, creating a calm, refined space where couples feel fully present, supported, and completely themselves.

We couldn’t be happier with our wedding photographer! She photographed our beach wedding during the kite festival, which could have been chaotic, but she adapted flawlessly. She stayed calm, creative, and completely in control. The weather was perfect—75 degrees and full sun—and she used the light beautifully. Every photo turned out absolutely amazing, from the candid moments to the portraits. She captured the joy and the energy of the day! If you’re looking for a photographer we can’t recommend her enough!!

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Wilmington, NC

It’s life’s simple moments that really get me inspired. Endless sun soaked walks with my pup Ollie + husband Michael, thrifting, vegging out on the beach until I've lost track of time, coffee shops with pals, testing out a new vegan recipe, or sharing a glass of wine with the people that I love. I live for the small, slow, nostalgic moments. Growing up, I was a quiet observer, always dreaming and creating. My desire to photograph + document grew so organically, and now I'm lucky enough to say that I have been photographing professionally for nine years, and truly never see myself stopping.

Meagan Forbes Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding day. From the very first interaction, Meagan and her team were friendly, easy-going, and had a great sense of humor that immediately put us at ease. On the day of the wedding, they seamlessly blended into the background and captured incredible, natural-looking photos that truly reflected the casual yet special vibe we were going for. All of our friends have been raving about how amazing the photos turned out - Meagan has an incredible eye for detail and the ability to make everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera.
