Every season of life is worth celebrating, and wedding anniversaries are definitely something to commemorate! I recently had the honor of capturing 10th wedding anniversary photos for my dear friends, Lauren and Ryan. It was such a JOY photographing this special milestone for them! We captured their photos at the gorgeous NC Museum of Art in Raleigh, and it was a beautiful summer evening. Lauren mentioned that she wanted to capture photos of their wedding rings, and it was so fun to capture some creative shots with the warm golden sunlight behind them. She also still had her tiara from her wedding as well as her red Virginia Tech heels, and it was SO awesome to incorporate them into the shots at the end! Congrats again to this wonderful couple, and enjoy scrolling through some of my favorite moments below!

I had the honor of working with Emily and Justin recently for their engagement photos! They are such a sweet couple, and I thought it was awesome that they’re both dentists. I captured this special season of life for them at the beautiful Historic Yates Mill Pond Park in Raleigh. It was a SUPER windy and chilly day, but that didn’t stop us from having fun and capturing gorgeous photos!

We started off by doing photos at the iconic waterfall and mill. Because it was so windy, I had to pose them strategically so E’s hair wouldn’t fly over her face. I positioned them in a way that would help us work with the wind, versus against the wind (i.e., I had Emily facing towards the wind, and I placed their heads together to “hold” her hair down).

We then captured some photos by the awesome rustic log building. Not only did it help block the wind, but the sun was setting SO perfectly behind them! I also wanted to incorporate some symmetry and sun flares in the shots—and boy, I was thrilled with the results! We then ended the session capturing some beautiful candid shots of them in a small grassy field. See more stunning photos from this wonderful engagement session below!

It’s so awesome when you get a client who can resonate with your work! Summer reached out to me to do a family photo shoot with her husband at the American Tobacco Campus in Durham. I remember chatting with her and learning that she’d like a casual photo shoot of the two of them that felt warm and intimate, but not make it feel like an engagement shoot. I also learned of their beautiful story! They met in a masters program in New York City in 2007, and became classmates and friends. They then reconnected in Chicago where Francesco was living in 2015 and Summer was visiting her brothers. Francesco went out to meet them, and well, the rest was history!

On the day of our shoot, we got a variety of shots around the Tobacco Campus. One of my favorite places was using the sidewalk that’s right outside the campus because it had a very Durham feel to it; the brick building in the background and the street gave their photo a mix of vintage and urban. I also LOVED using the brick wall and windows right outside the Power Plant! Their connection was so sweet and genuine, and they had the best smiles and laughs! There were SO many epic shots, and below are some highlights. Enjoy the photos and getting to know this wonderful couple!
