Weddings on Topsail Island always have a special charm, and this beautiful celebration at the Topsail Historical Society was no exception. Even though it rained nearly the entire day, the skies cleared just in time for a gorgeous sunset—and it made for some of the most romantic photos. From the heartfelt ceremony to the fun bubble exit, this wedding was full of joy, emotion, and unexpected magic.
Rain on a wedding day can feel stressful, but sometimes it creates the most memorable moments. The soft overcast skies gave the ceremony a cozy, intimate feel. By evening, the clouds parted and gave us a warm, golden sunset—perfect for portraits.
The bride and groom embraced every moment, rain and all, which made their gallery feel authentic, warm, and full of life.
Once the weather finally cleared, we stepped outside for quick portraits—and the timing couldn’t have been better. The golden light reflected beautifully off the damp landscape, giving the photos a dreamy glow. The combination of coastal charm and rustic architecture made the Topsail Historical Society a perfect backdrop for these sunset portraits.
One of the highlights of the day was the couple’s bubble exit. Guests lined up with bubble wands, filling the air with floating bubbles that glistened in the soft evening light. It created a magical, playful moment that photographs beautifully—proof that simple details can create unforgettable memories.
This venue is ideal for couples who want:
A relaxed, coastal-inspired atmosphere
Both indoor and outdoor photo opportunities
A historic, charming setting on Topsail Island
Beautiful lighting—even after a rainy day
Room for unique exits like bubbles or sparklers
