A Bald Head Island family affair

Bald Head is a mile from the mainland but a world away from its hustle and bustle. For Lauren and Hayden, it was an ideal place to host an intimate ceremony at the island’s only chapel, followed by dinner beneath a small tent set up on the patio beside Maritime Market, the island’s only grocery store. There are no cars on the island, so Hayden met me at the ferry drop-off around noon riding a mini-Rolls Royce golf cart.

It was a dreamy landscape to photograph a small group of family in friends all dressed to the nines. Hayden picked me up near the ferry dock in a mini-Rolls Royce golf cart and drove me to the other side of the island, to a house hidden in the island’s lush maritime forest, filled with live oaks, palmettos, and longleaf pines.
