{Tarrah + Ryan} Kiss Me – Eno River Park, Fearrington Wedding

Posted in Couples, Weddings & Engagements

On Sunday after a long day of shooting a series of other sessions I met Tarrah + Ryan at the Eno River Park for their Kiss Me session.  They will be having a beautiful wedding at the always lovely Fearrington next June and I’m so fortunate to be a part of their day.  I especially need to thank them for their patience with me on Sunday.  Somehow, on my drive between two parts of Durham my main, beloved camera died.  I realized it quickly at the start of their session and fortunately had 2 back-ups with me.  Well, I managed to break the second one as well so I was on to the 3rd one.  Fortunately that’s what backup gear is all about and I have lots of it!  The leaves were gorgeous at the park and I think we probably couldn’t have waited another week as things are already starting to fall off.

Thank you both so much – can’t wait for your wedding!

{Oooh La La} Just One – Boudoir

Posted in Couples, Weddings & Engagements

Did I say one…okay I really meant 3.  I’m horrible about editing images down…it’s a downfall really.  This past Sunday I had a fantastic time shooting my “Oooh La La” sessions for 3 gorgeous ladies.  I truly believe that women should embrace themselves no matter what stage they are at in their lives…we are all really fabulous and should celebrate that.  My take on boudoir is really about glamour with allure and a bit of sexy thrown in as well.  I really encourage my lovely ladies to think outside of the box when they are deciding on what to bring – and always bring those fabulous shoes, because nothing makes you feel more fabulous than great shoes!

I still have tons of editing to do but I just wanted to put up a few images.  I’m hoping to convince my other two fabulous women to allow me to post a couple of their more “innocent” images…but I make no promises.  And yes, boudoir is WAY more processed than any wedding or portrait images you see from me.

{Grace + Alex} Wedding – The Barn at Valhalla, Chapel Hill

Posted in Couples, Weddings & Engagements

I knew I was going to have a really great day when Alex came up to me when he saw me, gave me a hug and said, “I’m so glad to have you here.”  It was just nice, set me at ease and put me in a good place.  Grace & Alex’s wedding was just, well perfect.  It was on October 10 (yes, I know, I’m so behind on my blogging) at The Barn at Valhalla.  The weather that day looked dicey at best and I have to admit, I knew what they had in mind for their beautiful outdoor ceremony and I was nervous.  I was checking the radar and weather all morning and it continued to get better and better and I knew we’d have a good day.  I thought we might have rain during the reception but that didn’t bother me.

I have to say, I felt very honored to work with Grace & Alex on their wedding.  I had been really looking forward to this day for a long time.  But this wedding had so much love, so much emotion, it gave me so much renewed hope & love in so many things.  I can’t honestly thank them enough.

I was incredibly fortunate to work with the most amazing team on this wedding.  The lovely ladies of TreBella provided the gorgeous flowers, Cinda with Cinda’s Creative Cakes make the beautiful cake, Durham Catering Company provided the yummy food, the VERY wonderful, always pleasant Robin Renteria officiated and Shutterbooth provided a Photobooth (something I hadn’t ever had at one of my weddings).

Grace & Alex…from the very, very bottom of my heart…thank you!

{“A” Beautiful Maternity} Urban Session – Golden Belt, Durham

Posted in Children & Family, Couples

I was very excited to document Amy’s maternity session.  They are not only a gorgeous couple who “fit” together perfectly, but they had this quiet, serene peace about them.  I’m sure Amy is going to do a fantastic job when it comes time for delivery and I can’t wait to document their new little one during their newborn session.

{Caroline + Tim} Wedding – The Franklin Hotel, Chapel Hill, NC

Posted in Couples, Weddings & Engagements

Caroline + Tim had a truly beautiful wedding on a gorgeous Carolina blue day on October 3.  I’m very behind on my blogging right now so their slideshow will be coming out very soon as well.  Their wedding and reception was held at the lovely Franklin Hotel in Chapel Hill.  And I was very fortunate to work with an incredible team of vendors: one of my very favorite officiants, the lovely Robin Renteria, Sugarland (cake), University Florist (flowers) and Damien Maass (Joe Bunn DJ).  Caroline + Tim have been together for 8 years by the time they had their wedding and I’ve been involved in their wedding for a very long time as well, so it was such a pleasure for me to finally see all the planning, all the details, finally come together for them.  Please enjoy!

I was shooting the bride alone and she said “turn around” and the bridesmaids were sitting perfectly just like this…and so seriously.  The next frame they were laughing!
