Katie & Lee's Engagement Session : Magnolia Manor

I knew that would like working with them when Lee asked to be my Facebook friend right after Katie booked me as their wedding photographer. And I was right! I loved shooting with Katie and Lee. They're so sweet and fun and goofy in the "I'm totally in love and don't care what it looks like" kind of way. We started shooting at Magnolia Manor where Katie and Lee are tying the knot in May.














I love how their eyes complement each other.



Funny story. I had Katie and Lee sit under this tree and squirrels kept running up and down right behind them. That was scary enough but that experience was topped by the squirrel falling off the tree from 15 feet up and landing right beside Katie! The squirrel was ok and we found another place to shoot after that.





Katie has the best laugh.





After Magnolia Manor, we went down the street to Triad Park for some fun stuff.







Which ring shot do you like better?



I think I like seeing the blue sky behind this one.







One of my favorites from the session... the sun was beautiful right then.



We had their dog, Jack, join us for the end of the session. Isn't he a cutie? He liked me at first but then decided not to after I kept putting a camera in his face.









You guys are great... can't wait for your wedding in May!

Katie & Lee's Engagement Session






Mia and Rivers' Wedding




Jennifer & Chris' Wedding

Kristin + Spence's Wedding

Oh, I can't wait to show you these images. I feel like I've become friends with Kristin, Spence and their families after all of our meetings, the engagement session, and bridal session, so it was super fun to shoot their wedding and get to hang out with everyone again!
We ended up with a gorgeous October afternoon with some beautiful light. It was perfect! The ceremony was so sweet and Anything Music DJ's kept the party pumping at the reception! Now, on to the images...





I love finding little details like this tag stuck in the bouquet. Flowers by Designs North Florist.





Kristin added so many special, personal touches to her bridal ensemble. The picture in the locket at the top is of Kristin's great-grandmother who passed away this year. I love that Kristin chose to honor and remember her by tucking this locket into her bouquet.


The picture on the left is my favorite. The hands in the image belong to Kristin, her mom, and her sister. It's so sweet!















The bride and her girls! They looked so great.





Some of my favorite pictures are of the bride and groom reading notes from each other on the wedding day.











So many Converse shoes!











Alaina stayed at the back and grabbed some images of the bride right as she started coming down the aisle.









This image kept making me tear up while I was editing. The look of pride on Kristin's dad's face is so cute. He is just beaming!







This gorgeous cake came from Ganache Bakery.







The guest book from Spence and Kristin's engagement session turned out great!













Such a model couple, seriously.



The food from CaterFest was delicious!








Kristin's brother played and sang the song for the father-daughter dance.















Congratulations, guys!
