Surrendering Expectations: A Carefree Wedding in the Outer Banks, North Carolina

Issue four: Jesslyn McCartney

a note from Goldylight _

While mapping out Issue 4, we noticed a common thread that came from each of our featured artist’s submissions: approaching weddings as an opportunity for human connection, with the work created coming beautifully and organically second.

That’s why we knew Jesslyn’s work from this wedding needed to be featured. Jesslyn’s photography is heartfelt and human; she weaves light and movement together in a way that feels like summers in your childhood. We chatted about embracing the unexpected and the relationship between the artist, the art, and the gear.

Enjoy this issue — you’re in for a treat!
