I love it when my couples are one in the same. Carol and Joe are like two peas in a pod and their happiness is contagious! Carol and Joe plan to tie the knot later this upcoming fall at the beautiful and lustrous Cody Creek in Dobson, NC and I can not wait to see them say their "I do's!"  If their wedding is anything like their engagement session, it will surely be a sweet one. I love that this year I have had the chance to document weddings all across the state, especially weddings in western Carolina.

I am particularly fond of their session as it was shot purely on film, and it pulls at my heart strings with their cuteness. The best thing I could ever do for my couples is to make sure I give them intimate moments; gestures people normally don't notice, or genuine laughs that are never captured. It's the little things that people remember and hold close. I am glad to give that to them.

Cheers!

I can not express to you how lucky I am to have the clients that I have! Not only were Justin and Sarah willing to hike around all of Blowing Rock, they were willing to start before the sun even rose! Seriously?! Like, pinch me! If you've ever done a portrait session with me then you know how much I adore that morning light! Sarah and Justin never obliged and were the best to collaborate with!

We started out the day at the beautiful Manor at Moses Cone. Being a photographer from out of town I had to do ALOT of searching and asking friends of where the perfect places would be. All of them said the Manor was absolutely gorgeous, and I could not agree more! After that we visited a few state parks, and found our way to the Viaduct--one of Justin's favorite places!

At the end we even got some beautiful and sweet images with them and their dog Winchester. When I say that I have never met a more well-behaved dog, I mean that! He was all so grown up from the last time I met him [which was when he was a puppy], and it made my heart sing when he became the best little pup in our session.

Please enjoy some of my favorite portraits from an all around great couple. Congratulations Sarah and Justin!
