I love The Knot.. well, the Knotties. Along with several other wonderful ladies, I met Eleana because she found out about me on The Knot forums. She is so beautiful & we had a perfect afternoon to photograph her & Brian over at NC State. Eleana graduated from ECU and therefore loves ECU… to the point she is having deep purple as her wedding color. Brian graduated from NCSU (what’s up my brother!!), so the Pack needed to be represented in their engagement session.
Just so happens that Two Brothers on Hillsborough Street is their favorite restaurant.. GO PACK!!
I’m with you Brian
Would ECU ever have a tunnel of love?! I don’t think so…
The Fair!! YIPPEEEE!! I was so excited that they were willing to do some shots there!
There are more of these in my engagement gallery if ya’ wanna see…

A couple of weeks ago I photographed Kristen & Jon and had an amazing time getting some gritty goods. I try to get into the world of the couples that I photograph, and I really love photographing in a more urban style. They are so sweet & I just photographed their wedding 11.1 which will be here soon.. but wow - I just love me some Kristen & Jon. My buddy Rebecca “specializes” in gritty photography & helped me out, so you have to check out her blog to see the couple of shots she posted from this session.
funny
mami likey dramatic lighting
Tis the season for scarecrows.. pretty hot scarecrows
Check out more of their engagement session in my engagement gallery.. They are tasty!

A Sunday or so ago I photographed Courtney & Nick's engagement session, and it was also my first time meeting them. They met in middle school, fell in love in high school & have stuck it out since!! WOAH!! There is nothing I love more than witnessing the dynamics between a couple, and I had a hoot all afternoon watching them. Courtney went to college at UNCG & Nick went to college at Wake Forest University (close enough for Courtney to make WFU her home!), and Nick actually is the long snapper for Wake Forest's football team. So, Wake Forest is a big big deal to them
Lately profile shadow shots have been intriguing me.. Inspiration: kindergarten. Did your teachers ever sit you in front of a piece of paper, shine a light on you & pencil out your profile??
Courtney told me she couldn't do "serious". Right!! What the heck is this!? Yum.
Just a little shutter speed fun.. The rain came so it was time to frolic.
Please check out all the bling. Her ring was GIGANTIC until Nick put on a couple of his championship rings.
OK.. So I told them to play together, and Nick was really amused that he could outplay Courtney. Am I the only one that thinks he may have an unfair advantage?? She handled it though.
He may be the pro, but Courtney can still take him.
Her eyes are outstanding
Courtney's middle name is Grace - not appropriate.
Just a sweet squeeze to end the shoot.
Since it rained & we missed a part of our planned session, you'll be seeing the continuation of this shoot in September. One word: vineyard.

This past Friday afternoon I met Bethany & Jared over at Pullen Park. Bethany dabbles in photography when she's not teaching school in Charlotte, so I knew I really had to bring it. Jared is from Texas & even though I didn't see the boots, he's a cowboy baby!! I just had to supply the horses- 
As the day progressed, I found out Bethany is as fascinated with trains as a 2 year old.. tee hee. When I first met with them, it was all business but to my delight it turns out that they are coo coo birds - and anyone who knows me, knows I treasure that in a person!!
I used to be terrified of photographing anyone in the full sun... but now it's just a beautiful thing to me!! You can't get color like this in the shade.
More train action
KEEEYYYY- UTE
So, I didn't have anything to do with this. Jared told me to photograph them on the bridge, and they broke out into dance!! I love that in a model - a vision!!
sexy. and would you look at their eyes?!
i love stalker moments
I actually got this shot on the first try, but I made Jared do it 3 times!! haha! It was just fun watching him jump ok?!
Bethany & Jared have beautiful ways in which they compliment one another & compromise together. This was Jared's portion of the day - to rock out on his drums. He's been in several bands, and just rocked the park out. From what I heard, he's super talented. I envy any & every musical ability...
And here's Bethany's portion of the day! She loves bowling, and I have been dying to photograph a couple in a bowling alley forever!! It worked out perfect... and even though it's not Jared's thing, he got funky with it!
I'm not sure why this room is there, but I'm happy it is!! How awesome is this?! yeah.. just a little something called vanishing point. yum to the tum.
Tomorrow I photograph Bethany's bridal, but you'll just have to wait until after their wedding on July 26th to see those!!

This past Friday, I spent the morning with Julie & Bernie, and for the first time in a long time, I really had to wrap up the shoot within 2 hours!! And amazingly, I almost did everything I wanted to do. There was one more spot I wanted to go to, but I know I still got all their angles!! Julie & Bernie are getting married in November, and it's going to be an awesome affair... You just got to stick around! I really try & warm people up in front of the camera before I get them to really work it, but this is how they started - Yum to the tum!
Who knew NC State had so many awesome areas!
I'm not sure what these are exactly, but they look hot here!! Or maybe Julie & Bernie make them hot...
Oh yeah.. the action came at the end!! Save the best, right?!
