First engagement session of 2023 and I had such a blast with these two!

I love when couples tell me before a session about how nervous they are or how awkward they are in front of the camera. And maybe in most situations they feel this way. But when we create a space for our clients to be themselves, to really love and experience each other’s presence how they normally would, that’s when the magic happens. That’s when photos truly tell a story. THEIR story.

Ladies and gentlemen, The Toppings! Megan + Dylan

Ladies and gentlemen, The Toppings! Megan + Dylan put on the classiest wedding ceremony and then had one of the most lit dance floors on the same day! So excited for these two and honored they chose us to capture it all for them and their families.

But congrats to Emma and Alex who got married this past fall! We hope you’re still enjoying your gallery and can’t wait to get your album to you soon! 🥳

Happy New Year! We’re so excited for another yea

Happy New Year! We’re so excited for another year of capturing amazing memories for our couples! 🍾🙌🏻

Albums!!! They’re honestly one of my favorite th

Albums!!! They’re honestly one of my favorite things that we do. Albums are so important to us that we now include at least an 8”, 20 page album in ALL of our wedding packages. Digitals are obviously the main way we view and share memories these days, but having a printed story of one of the biggest days of your lives is a must. We wanted to make sure everyone received a high quality album from us that would literally last for generations.

We also offer options to upgrade your handmade wedding album to a 10”, 40 page album or a 12”, 80 page album! Engagement albums, Guest books, and parent albums are other products that many of our clients take advantage of. Shoot us a DM with any questions you may have on our albums or our other printed products!

❤️LOVE & BASKETBALL🏀

Love these two! I met them a couple years ago through a mutual friend who is in the modeling/acting industry, as they are. That’s actually why we were in the studio, getting some digitals and content for their portfolios. We had to take a few minutes for some couples portraits once we were done though and I’m glad we did!

Tehya + Colson’s wedding was one of the most beautiful and emotional wedding days of the year! The setting at @fieldsatskycrest couldn’t have been any better and between their private vow readings, Tehya’s first look with her dad, the ceremony, and first dances, there weren’t many dry eyes for most of the day. Here are a few of our favorites!

I was all for some canoe shots when Sarah and Matt recommended it for a part of their engagement session. I did, however, underestimate the difficulty of switching poses while aboard a very unstable floating structure. 🤣 They crushed it though and I love how these turned out! 🙌🏻

We met Alexa and Ed out in Pinehurst, NC for their engagement photos a little while back. It’s a place where they hold many memories and visit multiple times a year. I love why they chose Pinehurst as the location to do these and I love how they came out! 👌🏼

These fall weddings are really showing out! We had a blast with Keaton + Connor at their @theprovidencecottonmill wedding last week. They had an incredible team of vendors for this one and we were just honored to be a part of it all.

Once again, no idea how I’m supposed to pick ten photos so peep the stories for more sneaks!

Another wedding in the books for one of my all-time favorite families! We’ve been a part of a few of Allison’s siblings weddings but this past weekend was her turn. Allison and Joey said “I do” at @ilbellagardens and it couldn’t have been a more perfect day! Enjoy these sneak peeks!

Had the best time with Katie + Devin riding around

Had the best time with Katie + Devin riding around uptown for their engagement session! (Even with a dud scooter I was using for half the time 🤣) I loved the idea when they mentioned their @super73 bikes and how they may want to incorporate those in the session. I love unique ideas but the most important part is capturing our clients in environments where they are 100% themselves. Because that’s when we can best highlight their personalities and who they are as a couple. 💯

We were a part of just the second wedding to be he

We were a part of just the second wedding to be held at the new venue here in Charlotte, @theruthclt, a little over a week ago. It was fun to work alongside the other vendors on this one with it being our first wedding here at this beautiful location. When Kristen + Brooks booked The Ruth last year, there was no “walk-through.” They just had a vision of what this space was going to be. I hope it exceeded that for them because I’m in love with this space and the photos and videos that we were able to capture in and around it. Congrats you two!!!
