I absolutely love photographing weddings on Wrightsville Beach’s Shell Island Resort. Stephanie and Adam had perfect spring weather for their outdoor beach wedding and everyone had such a great time celebrating these two awesome people. Stephanie and Adam, it was an honor to capture this day for you and we wish you all the best! Leave a comment below and like us on Facebook here!

I was trying out a new type of Fuji film and just happened to have a couple of little subjects readily available. It doesn’t hurt that they are ridiculously cute, IMHO  Meet Dakota (3) and Indie (1)!

Seriously, how cute are these two?  Mark and Chrissy came down to Wilmington to photograph their engagement session.  We had a great time exploring the beach and the surrounding area on this beautiful spring day.  I can’t wait for their wedding in a few months!  Leave a comment below and like us on FB here!

Get ready for a real show stopper of a coastal-rustic North Carolina wedding!  Jamie and Daniel planned the perfect mix of southern class and low country ambiance.  The ceremony took place inside of a small chapel in Holden Beach.  From there, the bridal party made it’s way down the Intracoastal Waterway in boats to arrive in style at their outdoor reception on Windy Point.  As it’s plain to see, everyone had such a great time, and we wish Jamie and Daniel the very, very best.  It was an honor to document your day for you!!

Towards the end of 2011, we decided that although shooting weddings was a lot of fun, helping people in need was even better.  So after putting a few pieces in place, we launched the Wellspring Initiative.  It’s only goal is to provide clean filtered drinking water to people of Cameroon, Africa.  We do this through the proceeds of each wedding we book.  So everyone that chooses Eric Boneske Photography has a hand in dramatically improving the living conditions of families half a world away.  The most recent family Wellspring was able to provide a water filtration system to was Roger, Julie and their three children; Ruth, Abiezer, and Julienne (below).  It’s been said that in Cameroon, 95% of disease comes through unfiltered water, both ground water, and city water.  It is our hope to be able to help as many families as possible by giving them the means to clean water.  We are honored and blessed to be able to help in this way!  And if you have recently booked with us, thank you!!  We cannot do this without you

Nikki and Travis came down to Wilmington NC for there engagement session. We went out to a private piece of property that’s located right on the intracoastal waterway. It was the perfect spring day, and Nikki’s details added a really fun touch to the shoot! If you like the pictures, like us on Facebook Here!

For this rustic themed Wilmington bridal session, I went out on a limb and brought Pearl the chicken along.  We were shooting in an old farm field with weathered buildings and cool, earthy details.  It seemed like the perfect fit to me- luckily Jamie thought so too!  Pearl hung out with us for the most part, but mostly just wandered around.  Oh, and she even laid an egg in the basket while Jamie held her.  I think they felt pretty comfortable with each other   I also shot B&W film to continue with the rustic theme.  All the B&W’s you see were shot on 400 speed Kodak film- which when shot in bright daylight creates an awesome graininess in the image that is impossible get with digital- And looks completely timeless, in my opinion!  Super big thanks to Social Butterfly Events, Verzaals Florist, and Hot Pink Cake Stand for all the awesome details!  Let me know what you think in the comments below!
