You guys!!!

I mean, don't you just love a good bridal session?! I have to admit, these are probably one of my favorite portrait sessions to do. It acts as "me time," for the bride, and also gives you some set images to mull over before your big day!

Below is a set of images taken of our model Joy. She's gorgeous, and not just your average kind of pretty. I love that dark hair of hers! Paired with a bright lip, she's the perfect Snow White for the summer. Both dresses, which can be found at Tre Bella in downtown Durham, are breathtaking on her! As always, Makeup For Your Day did an amazing job on prepping this swoon worthy lady for her beauty close-ups!

It is with great pleasure to show you Cathy & Eddie's portrait session taken right here in Raleigh, NC at one of my favorite venues- JC Raulston Arboretum. I can not get over how cute these two look together! Seriously, it is just so sweet to see two people so in love after all of their years together. This is what makes my heart beat. Here are a few of my favorite portraits of just the two of them. Enjoy!

Special thanks to the ladies at Make Up For Your Day for the beautiful styling.
