"We made a deliberate decision to formalize our presence in both markets because we were already photographing and filming weddings in Fayetteville and Wilmington, but couples didn't always know we covered both regions," said Julian Smith, Founder of brighterlightmedia.com. "With this expansion, we now have active packages across more than 15 venues between the two markets, and we're able to offer drone coverage at outdoor locations that genuinely benefit from that aerial perspective."
