I shot Brittany and Zach’s engagement session in Raleigh at the beautiful Historic Yates Mill Park. This location had so much to offer and fit their western-chic style perfectly. These two are completely adorable and they were so easy to photograph. B+Z- I can’t wait for your wedding next September!
Enjoy a few of my favorites of these love birds. <3
Goodness, you guys… I LOVE Shannon and Jamey’s engagement session. They gave me complete creative freedom in choosing their location and totally went with the flow throughout their shoot. I always feel that my best work comes out when this happens and that is definitely the case with these two. We ran around uptown finding gorgeous location nooks, we went atop parking decks, and had an all out good time. Shannon and Jamey, you two are the best and I can’t wait for your May wedding!
Enjoy!
Meet Mike & Eileen. These two are the greatest and I get the pleasure of photographing their wedding this coming October. They are so sweet together and definitely know how to get cuddly in front of the camera, which is my favorite! It threatened to rain throughout our entire session, but the rain didn’t start coming down until about a minute after we wrapped. Talk about perfect. And the overcast skies gave us perfect light, which only added to the fun for me.
Enjoy these two!
Diana and Bryan are the greatest. Bryan just graduated from the Navel Academy and Diana is so looking forward to joining him is his travels as a Navy wife. She seems to suit the role perfectly, huh? It was a must (according to Diana) for Bryan to wear his uniform and I must say, I am a fan of the style these two exuded during our session. I even processed some of the images in a more vintage style and I will share those a little later.
I am so looking forward to Diana and Bryan’s Valentine’s day wedding next year. They are so many super unique aspects to this wedding and I am thrilled to be photographing it.
Enjoy this adorable couple!
This image is an all-time fave!
Lauren and Colin are so fun. We spent their engagement session running around Duke Gardens and discovering endless gorgeous places to shoot. I typically post a combination of color and black and white images, but between the beautiful color that the garden provided and nice reflection from a recent down pour, the color images won out every time. I could shoot there again and again and never go back to the same spot twice. Love it! Lauren and Colin were a breeze to shoot. They are both such genuine people and I think that shows so well in these images.
Enjoy these two!
Oh my goodness, I LOVE Misty and Shane! After being on maternity leave, I was so ready to pick up my camera and get to shooting again. These two made it so easy and totally reminded me why I love my job so much. We started out in Misty and Shane’s adorable backyard tucked away in the heart of Plaza Midwood. We then went to the area around where they had their first date, Central Coffee. We also did a few shots with Misty and Shane’s beloved cats. I don’t typically post a lot of pet pictures but given the type of cats and how much these two love them, I couldn’t help myself. I’m not sure the cats were a fan of me, but I definitely enjoyed having them in front of my camera.
During the session, Misty shared with me that she had always hated having her picture taken. I hear this a lot and I usually take it with a grain of salt, but when she shared that she had NEVER been in a single one of her high school yearbooks because of this, I knew she was serious. What an honor to be able to take Misty’s picture after so many years of her not wanting to be in any pictures at all. Misty, you rocked the camera and you are seriously BEAUTIFUL. Shane you didn’t do too bad either.
Enjoy this gorgeous couple!
Kathleen and Brandon are so adorable. When are discussed their engagement session, we talked about a fall/winter look with layers and jackets and I LOVE how Kathleen brought that to life! I’m sure Brandon had some input too. These two are clearly so in love and I can’t wait to photograph their May wedding this year.
Enjoy!
Heather and Corey are such a fun couple and I had a blast shooting their engagement session. I have known Heather for a while through my sister and it is great to see her so happy with the man she loves. You can’t deny how much these two care for each other after looking at the images. Congrats you two!
I LOVE Natalie and Ryan’s engagement session! They are an incredibly genuine and gorgeous couple and they made my job so easy. I had such a hard time narrowing down these images, I wanted to post everything! Natalie and Ryan are getting married at the beautiful venue, The Arbors next fall and if I loved their engagement session this much, I can’t imagine what the wedding is going to be like. Congrats you two, I can’t wait for your big day!
Megan and Steven are completely adorable and I can’t wait to photograph their Saratoga Springs wedding in the spring. We scheduled their shoot on a fall day that turned out to be pretty frigid, but you can’t tell because these two made it a blast. Enjoy this fun fall themed engagement session and this beautiful couple!
