Beautiful Airlie Gardens Wedding
We loved this beautiful Airlie Gardens wedding that took place on the perfect fall day. Drew and Mary’s celebration was a joy to photograph, and they were a pleasure to work with from beginning to end. Airlie Gardens is one of the most romantic wedding venues in Wilmington, and this day highlighted everything that makes it so special.
The lush garden paths, towering oaks, and coastal breezes created the perfect backdrop for their fall ceremony. Airlie’s scenery shifts naturally with the seasons, and the warm fall tones gave the entire day a soft, timeless feel. It truly is a photographer’s dream location because every corner offers a unique and beautiful setting.
The ceremony took place at the iconic Pergola Garden, framed by a majestic oak tree and surrounded by greenery. The atmosphere felt peaceful and intimate, with sunlight filtering gently through the branches. Drew and Mary’s vows were heartfelt, and the setting made the moment even more memorable.
After the ceremony, we spent time exploring different areas of the gardens. We love photographing at the pergola and near the lake, especially when the light is soft and even. There is always a calm feeling at Airlie, and it helps portraits feel natural and relaxed. From there, we made our way to Bradley Creek to capture the beautiful coastal backdrop. The open water, breeze, and clear light added a refreshing contrast to the lush garden scenery.
A Tented Reception By The Airlie Oak
The couple’s tented reception near the historic Airlie Oak was truly stunning. The oak is such an iconic feature of Airlie Gardens, and hosting a reception beside it always feels timeless and elevated. The tent itself was warm and welcoming, and every detail matched the cozy fall atmosphere. Soft textures, natural tones, and elegant florals brought the space to life without feeling overdone.
The reception felt intimate and joyful, and it was the perfect ending to such a beautiful day. Moments like these are why we love photographing Airlie Gardens weddings. The setting, the light, and the natural beauty all come together to create scenes that feel effortless and genuine. This was such a memorable Airlie Gardens wedding. Every detail was thoughtfully planned and beautifully executed. Most of all, Drew and Mary were a joy to photograph, and their love brought so much warmth to the day.
