Hi, I'm Glenn Guiao, the photographer behind Wrightsville Family Photographer.
I specialize in photographing families who want natural, relaxed photos without spending the entire evening posing for the camera.
Whether you're visiting Wrightsville Beach for vacation, celebrating a family reunion, or updating your annual family portraits, my goal is to create photographs that feel genuine and enjoyable.
I know many parents worry about whether their children will cooperate, but that's completely normal. Some of the best photos happen when kids are simply being themselves. Instead of forcing perfect smiles, I focus on interaction, movement, and real moments between family members.
Most sessions take place at Wrightsville Beach during the hour before sunset, although I also photograph families throughout Wilmington, Carolina Beach, Kure Beach, Figure Eight Island, Topsail Beach, and nearby coastal communities.
Testimonials
“Glenn made the whole experience easy from start to finish. We were worried our two kids wouldn't sit still, but he kept everyone engaged and somehow captured so many natural moments. The photos are something we'll look back on for years.”
“We booked a session while visiting Wrightsville Beach on vacation, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. Glenn knew exactly where to go, gave us simple direction, and made the session feel relaxed. The gallery was better than we imagined.”
“We had 18 family members ranging from toddlers to grandparents, and Glenn handled everything with ease. He organized the group quickly, kept the kids laughing, and still captured plenty of candid moments. Everyone left saying how fun it was.”
