Country Love

Jordan and Dwight are a cute couple from Norwood, NC. If you’re not sure where that is, neither did I until yesterday. It was a charming little town an hour outside of Charlotte. I’ll be traveling to their wedding in October and if today’s shoot was any indication, we’re going to have great time. I especially enjoyed meeting Jordan’s family – including the ducks, goats, dogs, chickens and horse (all of whom made several cameos during our session) … I quickly realized that I landed in what I felt was the heart of the Carolinas – certainly unlike anything that I’ve seen in Halifax. I’m so happy to be their wedding photographer … and as shy as the two were, they still rocked their engagement shoot!I just hope that I don’t get lost trying to find them again.

Holly & Neil Re-Do Engagement

Holly & Neil were married a year ago and were never happy with their original engagement photos … so I was the lucky one they called for a “re-do” engagement shoot. Lucky is an understatement as they were great to work with and I had an awesome time watching (and photographing) the two of them interact, be in love and just having fun. Though we laughed a lot, they managed to sneak in some quiet moments, ones that expressed affection and, of course, love! I really loved working with them, and they loved their photos … in fact they loved things so much that Holly is dusting off her wedding dress for a bridal session! I can’t wait … I really wish that I had the chance to photograph their wedding. They were a LOT of fun to work with…

I made the trip to Albermarle, North Carolina to meet with Casey & Ben. They’ll be getting married in August and took time out from their busy weekend to show me around town. And of course along the way, we decided to brave the Carolina heat and humidity for an quick engagement session. Casey was all smiles which made for an easy shoot and I quickly realized that their wedding was going to be a blast – and I can’t wait to capture it!

Kate & Dave Engaged!

Kate and I became good friends while training for a marathon together so I was thrilled when she asked me to be the photographer at their upconing ”beach” wedding in Kiawah Island, SC. Their engagement session reminded me why I love photographing people in love. Capturing their personalities was a breeze as they really rocked this session, even though Kate was a tad bit camera shy …
