Nags Head North Carolina Wedding Derek + Ashley

This Nags Head North Carolina wedding was a lovely break from the typical venues we photograph weddings at. It was fun to travel down to the Outer Banks & do a wedding at a beach house on the beach. And we loved even more that it was Derek & Ashley’s wedding.

This couple is a pure gem. They are both amazing people from the inside out & the people they hang with seem to be the same quality. The deep bonded relationships these two have just shouts how wonderful this couple is & we loved so much that we got to be a part.

I loved so many things about this wedding, but what I loved most was Ashley’ first look with her grandma. If you follow my blogging, I’m sure you’ve heard me mention how my grandma passed away just before my wedding. It broke my heart, so I love to see the special bond between a bride & her grandmother. My heart just melts.

Another thing I really enjoyed was the father speeches. Derek made his dad his best-man, which I thought was so special. I leaned over to Jake & told him I’d drop the hint in Jenson’s ear for when he gets married. When we were leaving that evening after the wedding, Jake said that was probably the best father speeches he has ever heard at a wedding. That is huge because we hear a lot of father daughter speeches.

To Derek & Ashley, thank you both so much for allowing us to be a part of this beautiful Nags Head North Carolina wedding day.  Jake & I are so blessed we got to meet your family & friends. We hope that you will love these images as much as we do.

With love,

Jake & Jennifer
