OMFORTABLE. When asked, that’s the word Carolyn used to describe her style. I thought it was fairly accurate when I met them for their engagement session last December. And, after getting to know her and Rick, I would say it’s the perfect word. To describe her. To describe them. They’re totally laid back. They’re care-free….
“We don’t meet people by accident. They are meant to cross our paths for a reason.” T SOUNDS LIKE THE MAKINGS OF A HOLLYWOOD LOVE STORY, (are you reading this Nicholas Sparks??), but for Carolyn and Rick, the “reason” was quite simple. They are soul mates. They first connected online and after emailing for a…
hen Sophie and I were talking about a location for her bridal portrait, she was certain that she wanted a place that was beautiful, but that also had some meaning for her. Since she grew up in Durham – and her dad works at Duke University – Duke Gardens was an obvious choice. Sophie is…
very now and again, two stars collide forming the most perfect union. And sometimes, as the song goes, these stars are over Texas. Sophie grew up a Durham girl, but it was in Texas that she found her true love. Two years after moving to Texas (by way of Richmond and then Pasadena) to take a job…
S I PHOTOGRAPHED HEATHER AND TRENT’S GORGEOUS RED WEDDING at Fearrington Village, I could see even on the tiny camera screen that this wedding was something special. Maybe it was that Heather looked like a vision. Maybe it was all the red – an ode to NC State, Trent’s alma mater – and the swoon-worthy details. But…
HILE I CONTINUE TO BLOG MY AMAZING CLIENTS and their weddings and portrait sessions from last year, I also want to share some of my work that has been featured on some wedding blogs and magazines. I was thrilled to have this gorgeous styled wedding shoot at Purple Berry Plantation in Louisburg featured on Style…
HAD THE HONOR OF WORKING WITH AN AMAZING CREATIVE TEAM to plan and pull together this “Enchanted Elegance” styled wedding photo shoot. While brainstorming with Priscilla Erwin of Orangerie Events and Julie Liles of Julie Liles Floral Designs, the idea to design “Enchanted Elegance,” a styled shoot based around a collection of girly details with…
‘M THRILLED TO FINALLY SHARE MEREDITH’S BRIDAL PORTRAITS. I’ve known Meredith’s family for years and have watched her grow from a lively pre-teen into a sweet, compassionate and beautiful young woman. Meredith was the picture of the Southern bride – classic and elegant. These photos are some of my favorites from our session. You can…
T WAS A PLEASURE TO BE ASKED TO PHOTOGRAPH THIS GREAT GATSBY-THEMED RECEPTION for Southern Bride and Groom at Raleigh’s historic Second Empire Restaurant and Tavern. As Jenna with SB&G and I sat at lunch brainstorming last winter, our conversation turned to possible movie themes. And there it was. The Great Gatsby. We knew that once…
HIS LOVE STORY CAN BE SUMMED UP IN FIVE WORDS. “It was meant to be.” Or “MINTZ to be,” as it were. (Dolph’s last name is Mintz, if you haven’t figured that out already.) Heather and Dolph believe that God was their matchmaker and that they were put in the right place at just the right time…
