Wedding Photographers & Photography in Wilmington, NC "Capturing Reality with Light"
A wedding is a single event that will leave a couple smiling at each other over and over again with feelings of warmth and happiness as they relive this day in each others eyes; remembering the little details, remembering those words. A touch of his hand or the way her hair blows can take you back to the day you first kissed as husband and wife. Weddings are an incredibly special day, these are memories you will want to share. Tom Sapp Photography provides what we call shadow photography: capturing reality with light. We document your day in a creative, photojournalistic way to tell the story, capture the sweet moments and take you back decades later, allowing you to share with future generations the beauty on the day you said "I do".

Tom has called Eastern North Carolina home his whole life. Being a professional photographer in Wilmington, NC for the past 10 years has given him a solid foundation in knowing what this area has to offer. Some of our favorite places for engagement, wedding and portrait photography are Bald Head Island, Wrightsville Beach, Kure Beach, Topsail Island, and Ocean Isle.
Wilmington NC offers the beautiful downtown river front area and Greenfield Lake if you are looking for an alternative to beach locations, or you might consider Arlie Gardens or the Arboretum.
The more well known backdrops are the rocks, marsh area and hills around Fort Fisher, Kure Beach. Wrightsville Beach has beautiful dunes at the Shell Island access or you might want to shoot around the dunes to the south at the Wrightsville Beach State Park. Whatever your location in Eastern NC, we can help you capture photographs that exceed your expectations.
North Topsail, Surf City and Topsail Island Beaches are beautiful for family portrait photography. The Topsail State Park at the south end of Topsail Island has proven to be a wonderful backdrop when wind is a prohibitive factor on the ocean side of the island.
Holden Beach has my heart for being one of the prettiest beaches I've seen in Eastern North Carolina. The endless field of dunes and sea oats at the west end of the island are simply breathtaking for photography.
Bald Head Island is essentially a photo play ground. Everywhere I look on this island I see beauty. Some of my favorite spots are on South Beach around the captains cabins and the marsh areas just past east beach. The waves crashing off east beach in back of the shoals make for a very impressive background on the right day.
Ocean Isle Beach is one of our frequent locations for family portrait photography. We shoot all over Ocean Isle documenting the joy and excitement families have when vacationing to this beautiful island.
Senior Portrait Photographer in Wilmington, NC
The Beaches of NC are beautiful for many genres of photography. One of my favorites is Senior Portraits. Photographing seniors consists of a wide range of photography in itself. Some seniors want me to photograph and document their abilities, some want a simple memory with their favorite pet, others want to wear their favorite outfits showing a sense of style, or maybe we'll brainstorm together to create a work of art. Every senior I work with brings out my best abilities. Every year seniors become more advanced in their skills, trends and outlook on the future. They challenge me and make me want to progress while creating the perfect image; an image to show the world who they really are.
