Azalea Festival

This weekend marks a big event for Wilmington, NC.  It's the Azalea Festival.  People come from all over the state, and probably the US, for a weekend of concerts, garden parties and tours, a parade, a street fair, and much more.  

One of the traditions of this festival is that young ladies are chosen to be Azalea Belles.  They appear at various events throughout the weekend.  We got a little preview of the festival this year because some of the Azalea Belles came in to have their portraits done in their beautiful dresses.  We were able to photograph them in our studio gardens.

I also had the proud honor of photographing the Azalea Princess, Zelle Brown.  She is such a nice young lady and will represent our city well.  

Enjoy the weekend.  If you are in Wilmington, we're praying for beautiful weather for all the Azalea Festival events.
