Michelle and Joseph came to Carolina Beach from Detroit Michigan last week to get married on the beach while staying at the Courtyard Marriott Hotel in Carolina Beach.

The weather was spectacular and the people at Beachside Occasions did a wonderful job with the wedding setup and ceremony.

Congratulations to Chris and Sarah from Pittsburgh! Chris proposed to Sarah last night at Sunset Beach North Carolina

You could not have picked a more beautiful setting for a young man to pop the question to his girlfriend of two years.
The beach at Sunset Beach, North Carolina was in stunning beauty as I was photographing the Ditonto family from the Pittsburgh area of Pennsylvania.
Then suddenly near the end of the shoot Chris asked me to take one last image. I said “Oh sure what are you going to propose to Sarah?” And Chris takes out the little box and says yes which got everyone including Sarah all choked up.
