Siera & Michael

A Durham, NC Engagement session

I met Siera earlier this year at the Durham Food Hall bridal showcase. It was a fun day filled with so many couples coming by to check out the cool Durham space, but I also had the chance to meet so many engaged people! Siera was one of those people, and I am so happy that we met!

She and Michael are coined Durham-ites now; theyve been living in this city for over 3 years. Which, to me, means youre an official local. Siera and Michael wanted to do something fun, like check out some of the breweries downtown and really just take in the ambiance of a bustling city. We did just that. We started their session at Cocoa Cinnamon on Geer Street. Then, we popped over near Motorco, and then the hidden mural area right down the street. After a quick outfit change, we headed downtown and stopped at the exact place where Michael proposed. Talk about romantic. Their engagement session ended on the parking deck overlook the American Tobacco Campus.

It was a day well spent. Their laughs are contagious, and I can only hope you feel as happy looking at these as I was being there to document them.

Kentoura & Malik’s Engagement Session

Paramount Event Venue in Morrisville, NC

I met Kentoura earlier this year (pre-Covid) at the Rickhouse Bridal Show, right here in Durham, NC. To my surprise, she told me she was from Williamston, NC! Look, y’all—this is the town right beside MY hometown! It is so rare to meet people from Northeastern North Carolina! But, alas, we did!

Kentoura and Malik plan on tying the knot next year at their venue Paramount Event Venue. This venue is nestled in the heart of Morrisville, NC. For their session they did a very glam and sensual attire for the first half, and then changed into more casual clothes to rep their Bride and Groom status. For their engagement session we enjoyed their actual wedding venue: Paramount Event Venue.

Wow! I mean, Malik looks good, but do you see Kentoura?! Geezussssss!! I am out of words. They are just a gorgeous couple.

Congratulations Kentoura and Malik!

Durham, NC Engagement Session

Megan and Edward are ENGAGED!

I met Megan and Edward earlier this year at one of my all time favorite bridal shows — the Rickhouse Bridal Show! I instantly fell in love with Megan’s quit wit and sarcasm, and knew that their engagement session would be nothing short of amazing. My suspicions were correct. Megan wore this upbeat off-white and soft polka-dotted ankle length dress that stole my heart and Edwards at the same time. The way Edward looked at her was contagious and heartwarming at the same time.

We started their session in downtown Durham near Alley Twenty Six and even hit up the infamous Durham Hotel. Lucky us, the Durham was closed so we didnt have to ask for forgiveness to play in their foyer with those beautiful columns. Later, we found ourselves on top of one of my favorite parking decks that overlooks the American Tobacco Campus. If youre wondering if you can still do this during the ‘rona, the answer is no. Proceed with caution as there are parking deck cops that will come up to you and tell you to leave without explanation.

Megan and Edward winded down with our last stop of the day at the beautiful sunrise mural on Main Street in Durham! Yes! Isnt that thing darling?! When I see those images I imagine the Beatles song “Here Comes the Sun.” Do you?

I have to be honest, I am having a hard time nailing down favorites from their session! Help me, what are your favorites?

Congratulations, Megan and Edward!
