I had the best time photographing engagement photos for Orlando and Jesse a few weeks ago! I was so excited when they told me they wanted to do an engagement session at their home, and capture some fun and authentic photos of them doing some of their favorite things! I remember they told me that they love to laugh together and enjoy food, art, and music. Thus, we incorporated some of their favorite things into the shoot to personalize their photography experience! We started off with them reading books in their bedroom, and then we captured some candid photos of them in their living room with their record player. We also had fun capturing some photos of them eating and drinking champagne, as well as taking a couple of beautiful portraits outside! The entire shoot was so fun from beginning to end, and documenting their love and connection was so special. Congrats again, Orlando and Jesse!

I had the honor of documenting Blake and Cassandra’s sweet proposal last month at NC State! When Blake I were chatting and planning for the shoot, I learned that Cassandra is a NC State alum and is a huge Wolfpack fan! He wanted to take photos some place that was meaningful, and decided to do the proposal at Primrose Hall, a beautiful brick building on campus that she loves.

When I got to Primrose Hall the day of our shoot, I did a quick walk around to make sure there wasn’t anyone using the spot, and fortunately we had the spot to ourselves! I was also pleased with the lighting; we took photos during the golden hour and the light was absolutely perfect! When Blake and Cassandra arrived, he came with her blindfolded. He then took it off once they got in front of the building, and her expression was priceless! She was so happy and excited, and I remember I couldn’t help but smile too!! :)

After the proposal, we walked around campus taking engagement photos and it was SO fun! Blake was also prepared and brought fun signs (i.e., “he asked” and “she said yes!”) to celebrate their engagement! It truly was a joy getting to know the both of them better, and to capture them laughing and interacting with one another! Congrats, Blake and Cassandra, and I can’t wait to capture your wedding day in the spring!

Who remembers when the sunflowers were in bloom at Dorothea Dix Park in Raleigh, NC? I remember there was a huge buzz a few weeks before they were in bloom, and know SO many people who were making plans to go see the sunflowers! Tiffany and Roy also chose to jump on the special opportunity to take photos with the sunflowers for their engagement photo shoot in Raleigh, and I'm SO glad they did! We had BEAUTIFUL LIGHT and the sunflowers were vibrant and in full bloom. It was truly a fun evening capturing this exciting new season for Roy and Tiffany, and getting to know the two of them better!

Roy is from a church here in Durham, NC and Tiffany is from a church in Ohio. They met when they both volunteered in a short-term mission trip to Taiwan in the summer of 2016, and taught English to elementary schools. Even though they didn't interact much during the trip, Roy reached out to a few Ohio team members afterwards to keep in touch, and that's when they began to chat...about everything!! They started dating in December 2016, and dated long-distance for the next year. In December of 2017, that's when Roy proposed to Tiffany!!

Enjoy scrolling through some of my favorite photos from the engagement session! I absolutely loved capturing their interactions with each other--they truly have a way of making each other laugh and giggle! You'll also notice they wore matching beaded bracelets for the photo shoot, which was something they wore while they were dating! Isn't that so sweet?! I look forward to photographing and serving this beautiful couple on their wedding day!!
