MHP BLOG WARNING: Blink and You Might Miss Something

Life in the Fast Lane. At Millie Holloman Photography, the pace feels a lot like an exhilarating scooter ride: we zip, zag, zoom, and speed off in new directions faster than you can say "Green light!" Want to come along for the ride? Our blog will keep you up-to-date on our most recent photo shoots, our favorite finds, and our craziest shenanigans. Hold on tight. It's gonna be a fast ride!

Not long ago Brent and I met up with Caitlin and Vinnie who are getting married this summer on Bald Head Island, NC. One of the first things Caitlin told us about herself and Vinnie was that they don’t really know what to do in photos and they were a little nervous. We LOVE when our clients are honest and open up to us about things like that! Bringing in the honesty and vulnerability allows us as photographers to lead and be creative with our clients. It doesn’t mean we always direct every step of the way with detailed instructions, but it gives us the opportunity to set the mood of the session, to be creative and to have a great time in general. Overall, we think Caitlin and Vinnie rocked their session and we can’t wait to see them again in several weeks for the wedding!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Caitlin and Vinnie, thanks for being open with us from the get go! You two are a wonderful couple and we are so glad we had the chance to chat throughout the session and get to know you. We know the wedding is going to be wonderful and we can’t wait to meet your families!

Tomorrow I have the privilege of photographing this sweet couple, Anna & Will, on their wedding day. For their engagement session we visited a friends property which had some fantastic places to shoot and of course they brought along their pup for a few shots. Enjoy this sneak peek of their session!

Lia and Cameron recently “tied the knot” in downtown Wilmington. These two originally met back in high school and have already celebrated many milestones including graduations, travels, and planning the wedding of their dreams. All week, the weather promised rain would come on their day but there was more love in the air than showers. Lia and Cameron were a JOY to work with and we had a wonderful time documenting their wedding day!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lia and Cameron, thank you for trusting Brent and I throughout your day and for letting us lead you all around downtown! We love how genuine you are with one another and we can see how you support each other in your endeavors. We wish you all the best and can’t wait to see where you will go next in life!

Thank you to everyone who made Lia and Cameron’s day a complete success. Everything was lovely!

Not only was Macon and Robert’s day a beautiful one (and we like to contribute that to “burying the bourbon”), but it was also full of special moments shared between their family and friends. Whether it was a sweet gesture from Macon’s father or snapshots of guests letting loose on the dance floor, they are all moments that make us smile or even tear up. It’s apparent how much Macon and Robert love one another, but it is also clear to see how much love and support they have from those around them. Brent and I were so thrilled to have the opportunity to work with these two and we wish them the best as they continue to write their story together!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Macon and Robert, even though months have passed, we can still remember the expressions of excitement on your faces after you were announced as husband and wife. We hope that same excitement continues to grow and intensify as you build through the years together.

We also couldn’t end the post without thanking all of these wedding professionals for giving Macon and Robert the wedding of their dreams!

Amanda + Brent  |  Photographers  |  Weddings  |  wilmington nc

Last year was full of weddings, new experiences and even some transition for MHP, it was a wild ride! We had the opportunity to be a part of some beautiful events and weddings. We didn’t have a chance to feature many of these events on our blog so we are going back in time a bit through our 2012 year starting with the Macon and Robert, who were married this past fall!

Brent and I had a wonderful time getting to know Macon, Robert and their families and it was an honor to capture sweet moments from their Rehearsal Dinner and Wedding. Below is just a snippet from their Rehearsal Dinner. Stay tuned for another post from Macon and Robert’s wedding weekend coming soon!
