Is it not professional to scream from the top of my lungs that I just HAVE THE BEST CLIENTS EVER?!

Okay, I did it and feel much better that I did that!

Alison and Brian may have been one of my favorites from the very beginning. For starters, I had a phone call with them to discuss all things wedding photography which ended in me chatting with Brian about all things film camera. This, my friends, is when nerds unite. I am not saying Brian is a nerd, I am mostly speaking about myself—but, yall, I loved chatting with them!

These two live in New York currently, but met while they were both attending UNC-Chapel Hill. What better way to commemorate this than by doing their engagement session on their old stomping grounds! We hit some iconic places—like the Old Well, which I adore!

But, I have to be honest—my favorite little spot was a spot that to be honest, I probably went past a few dozen times and never stopped. It was this sweet little courtyard tucked away beside one of the buildings on campus. It was here that Brian asked Alison to date him. From what I hear, he asked her about 3 times. I guess from this blog post you can see that she eventually said yes, and now they are planning their wedding.

I loved getting to know these two, and cant wait until their wedding next year! You guys—they are getting married at the beautiful Carolina Inn, which is perfect for their entire story. Alison told me she is rooting for a tequila fountain, and I am all for this option. Have you guys ever photographed a tequila fountain? Nope, didnt think so!

And one last bit, their outfit choices are killer. I can’t wait for you guys to see it!

It’s not hard to guess that one of my favorite places to photograph couples is right here in my town of Durham, NC. Whenever I have a couple who is just as smitten with Durham as I am—oh, we have the best time in town! Patrick and Gaby were the cutest couple, so sweet, and just a joy to be around. I loved their energy, their happiness, and their kindness.

We started their session off at the Pink Wall. I have to admit, I have seen some “instagrammers” photograph at said wall…yall, I have been driving past this wall for years and didnt realize it was “insta-famous!” Ha! Maybe I am not a Millennial after all! After we stopped there, we went to some pretty sweet wall murals, and finished the day off right at sunset near the Parlour. It was a sweet adventure, and their outfits were killer! Seriously, take a look at Gaby’s romper! I have the best subjects!

Congratulations, Patrick and Gaby!

Oh. My. Goodness!

Yall, these two were just the cutest to photograph! And get this—their names are Chris and Christina! I know, right?! Meant to be! Not only were they a joy to be around, they were absolutely wonderful in front of the camera. Sometimes my heart explodes and it did so once I finished off their gallery!

These two wanted to showcase some really special points in their relationship that dealt with Durham. Not only are they Durham lovers (yay—Durm!!), they actually met here in this city! We started off the day in Brightleaf Square and took advantage of the cute sites, then ventured off course to some beautiful places right in the area. We finished the day at Clouds Brewing—which is a fan favorite of the two. I just love when I have couples that love this area as much as I do!

Tell me your thoughts! I love their outfit choices, just sayin!

Oh, this engagement session was some kind of magical! I say this all the time, but I really do meet the best people! Audrey and David were such a joy to be around, and I could tell these two had some major love to go around!

We started their engagement session in downtown Raleigh in Market Square. If you have been to any weddings in that general area, you probably remember the sweet venue Market Hall. That beautiful cobblestone street that the venue sits on is exactly where we went for the first portion of their engagement session. It was beautiful, classic, and with these two in it, it made for some pretty pictures.

Later, we went over to NCMA (North Carolina Museum of Art) and basked in some of their pretty grounds. I loved the shaded areas in between the trees, but some of my favorites were right under one of their beautiful willow trees out back. It was a recipe for beautiful images, and I am glad I had the honor of photographing these two.

Congratulations, Audrey & David!
