Amy + Brandon : Tanglewood Park, NC

This was my second of three sessions in a day. Amy and Brandon made it easy, though. They were so fun and easy to photograph! I love that they brought their puppies, Bella and Murphy for part of the shoot. They kept us laughing for a while.



Bella, on the right, and Murphy, on the left. Aren't they cute? They would only sit still when they saw that they would get a popcorn treat. I had never heard of dogs liking popcorn but apparently it works for a lot of puppies :)







I love Amy's smile. It's so contagious!













These were taken in front of the Tanglewood barn where Amy and Brandon are having their reception in September. I love the red walls!





This little spot by the lake was perfect for Brandon and Amy to get a little cuddle time. I love the sunshine coming through the trees :)









Brandon and Amy are so comfortable with each other. I could have left them on that quilt for hours and they probably wouldn't have noticed!







Again, the sunlight was killing me! I couldn't get enough of the beautiful light coming through the trees.



This is where I asked them about their first date. It was so funny hearing them remember what they thought about each other!





Amy loves to laugh. I got so many shots of her beautiful smile!









We finished up the shoot at the rose garden in Tanglewood. Sadly, there were no roses to shoot with so we stayed outside the fence. I'm a sucker for shadows and lines so this fence was perfect :) Brandon and Amy, I can't wait to shoot your wedding in September!

Jessica + Greg's Wedding - Winston Salem, NC

It hit me while I was photographing Jessica before the ceremony. . . you and Greg were my first engagement shoot! When I first met with Jessica and Greg, we clicked. They were up for anything during their engagement shoot and Alaina and I had so much fun at the wedding. Jessica is so sweet and beautiful and Greg is always doing stuff to make her laugh or smile. The card he had delivered to her before the ceremony had us all laughing in the bride's room. He also pulled out some pretty smooth dance moves during the reception :)

Jessica & Greg, your wedding was perfect. Thanks for allowing Alaina and I to be a part of it. Enjoy the images!






I love that Jessica and all the bridesmaids wore the same shoes. It was such a cute touch!





Imagine Flowers did a beautiful job with the tulips!





I love this totally un-posed image. Jessica was so sincerely happy and peaceful the entire day.







The necklace Jessica wore was her great-grandmother's and has been worn by several other women in the family on their wedding day. I love when my brides wear something sentimental :)















After we shot with the girls for a while, we met the guys on the other side of the church where Greg was ready to pull out some GQ poses for the camera. He totally rocked the groom look.





I love this shot. Greg is so fun to be around!











I am in love with these shots of Jessica and her dad.



This is, by far, my favorite shot of the day. It's like you can feel the nervous excitement and love.







Married!













The getaway car was so stylin'!





The beautiful cake was provided by Ganache Bakery in Greensboro.





The reception was held at the Piedmont Club on the 19th floor of the BB&T building in Winston Salem. It had such a beautiful view of the skyline!









I love this shot of Jessica's mom watching the first dance. She looks so happy :)











I can't tell which ring shot I like better. I love the strawberry but the tulips are so beautiful!
