{Guashauna + Ed} Kiss Me – Duke Gardens

Guashauna & Ed are just sweet and adorable and loving together.  I’m so incredibly fortunate to be documenting their wedding in April.  I have such awesome couple’s for 2010, I just can’t wait.  We had really great weather for their Kiss Me session at Duke Gardens - that perfect blend of not too hot, not too cold, nice overcast – left that perfect light to make everything beautiful.  Thank you again guys!!

{Morgan + Clint} Wedding – Sister’s Garden

Morgan & Clint had a fantastic, huge wedding on May 16.  Definitely one of the biggest weddings I’ve had the opportunity to document in a while which made it a lot of fun.  Their beautiful ceremony then led into a reception that sometimes felt like a concert.  The Craig Woolard Band, was absolutely the best band I’ve seen to date.  They had the kids up on stage dancing, sang a great mix of dance music, it was seriously fantastic!  And as always, Sister’s does a great job!

{Leiana + Stewart} Wedding – Life & Science Museum

Saturday’s wedding of Leiana & Stewart was so truly magical.  I knew I was working with top-notch vendors, the lovely ladies at TreBella flowers and the reception was going to be held at the Life & Science Museum in Durham (where Leiana works).  Her dad made the cake which left me speechless it was so beautiful.  While it was a hot day (for late April), it was such a day filled with love and happiness as their beautiful wedding occurred.  Please enjoy….

This time, I’ll start with not one, but 3 pairs of beautiful shoes.  The very cute hot pink flats Leiana wore for the reception.

Afterwards we had some time before the reception so we went to Duke Gardens for the family & bridal party portraits.  This is by far my favorite from that session.

Afterwards we headed over to the reception at the Butterfly House at the Life & Science Museum.  It made for such a beautiful, fun & unique backdrop for the reception.  It was such a beautifully warm evening, absolutely gorgeous weather for this outdoor reception.

{Meredith} Bridal – Duke Gardens/Haywood Hall

On Friday, I got back together with Meredith (and Christopher) and photographed her bridal session.  This was actually a ton of fun as we did this (obviously) a week after her wedding.  The original plan was to have her bridal completed before her wedding but her dress wasn’t ready in time (but really, it took a lot of stress out of keeping the dress clean).

We went to the always beautiful Duke Gardens.  Fortunately while the weather is getting very warm there are a lot of great options at Duke without having to walk all over the gardens for amazing photos.    Thanks so much again guys for being so great about everything!
