Raleigh Engagement Session

Whitney & Bobby are engaged!

It is not very often that you meet people who are literally from your hometown in eastern, NC while in Raleigh! And, the fact that I had never met these two (especially Bobby) before our encounter at Walnut Hill was nothing short of baffling. I met Whitney at the Walnut Hill bridal show earlier this year—which was the last event before the shut down happened—and enjoyed chatting with her and her mom! To find out, she is from Efland, NC and moved to Harrellsville to be with Bobby.

We met in Raleigh for what seemed like such a hot day! Thankfully, the venue had so many spots of shade that made for beautiful even lighting and a drop in temperature. Some of my favorite images of theirs are them at the white fence with Whitneys high rise jeans and crop top! Seriously, these two were inseparable and such a fun breath of air.

Congratulations on your engagement, Whitney and Bobby!

NCMA Engagement

Raleigh, NC Engagement Photos

I had the absolute best time photographing Samantha and Juan during their engagement session. This couple was the first couple that I photographed since quarantine started, and it could not have gone any better! I surprised myself by withstanding their entire session with a mask on. Definitely weird to wear in this new state of things, but doable.

Samantha and Juan wanted to have their engagement photos done at the NCMA (North Carolina Museum of Art), and I was so happy that they did! This place is an absolute beauty. Although the inside portion of the museum is closed, their beautiful grounds are still open to the public. We started off their engagement session nearest to the mirror pond, then shifted our way to the gorgeous side entrance of the museum. Both of these areas are fantastic for images as the mirror pond reflects that big beautiful sky that was present on their day, and the side area hosted an abundance of shade for them.

After a quick outfit changed, we walked the grounds behind the museum and visited those great icons at the NCMA, like those gorgeous and massive 3 rings (also known as Gyre) and beautiful willow trees. It was a site to see and made my heart swell seeing these two together. It was a great day all around, and I am excited that I had the chance to meet such a great pair.

Congratulations, Samantha and Juan!

Oh, this engagement session was some kind of magical! I say this all the time, but I really do meet the best people! Audrey and David were such a joy to be around, and I could tell these two had some major love to go around!

We started their engagement session in downtown Raleigh in Market Square. If you have been to any weddings in that general area, you probably remember the sweet venue Market Hall. That beautiful cobblestone street that the venue sits on is exactly where we went for the first portion of their engagement session. It was beautiful, classic, and with these two in it, it made for some pretty pictures.

Later, we went over to NCMA (North Carolina Museum of Art) and basked in some of their pretty grounds. I loved the shaded areas in between the trees, but some of my favorites were right under one of their beautiful willow trees out back. It was a recipe for beautiful images, and I am glad I had the honor of photographing these two.

Congratulations, Audrey & David!
