A Love That Lasts

Your wedding day is a day that you will remember for the rest of your lives, it is true! And you hire a wonderful photographer to capture that day, but what about after years have passed? What about when life swirls around you and years later you own a home and you have kids? Spending time with your love is something SO important. It also is wonderful to celebrate the length of your marriage (no matter how short or long)! One way that you can do this is to go have a romantic and fun couple session to feel those butterflies again! Along with have a wonderful time, you also get pictures to remember!!

We recently just had a wonderful time photographing a fun, yet beautifully romantic, mini couple session with Doug and Susan. This past May, Susan and Doug just celebrated their twentieth wedding anniversary! (Congratulations!!) Sara just loved this because she is close friends and church members at the same church with the couple! She actually could NOT stop talking about how excited she was to photograph it. And we really did have a BLAST.  First, they knew exactly how to flow with each other, and Doug just knew how to make her smile. It was too precious. Secondly, it was right in our backyard and that sun flare came right at the perfect time! Here are just few of our favorites! :)

 

Of course you have to get one of the kids in there. ;)  

 

LOVED this time we were able to spend together!

Graham, NC Engagement Session | Peter and Linda

She walked across the stage as they announced her name, excited that she was graduating from college and accepting her degree. At the other end of the stage he was waiting for her, with a bouquet of flowers and a ring. When she began to exit the stage, and walked down the steps, there in front of hundreds of people, he dropped down to one knee and proposed… she said yes!

They met each other nine years earlier through their best friends (who are now married) but sometimes, life makes you wait. Wait they did, even though they knew they liked each other they waited until they got the chance to be together. So when they started dating Peter and Linda said to one another that they were going to be married by Leap year. That year is this year. “Peter jokes and tells me that he only has to get me a present every four years, but you know how that one is going to go,” Linda says with a smile. So their promise to each other will be fulfilled as they take the leap next Wednesday February 29th,at the Rigmoor House, in an outdoor nighttime ceremony. Linda says "If it all seems like a fairytale, it simply is."

Tangelwood Park Clemmons NC | Jim and Sarah

I knew the moment I caught the (first) image below in my camera - it was the one - the Portrait. I loved the artistic feel it had to it, so needless to say when Sarah choose it as her portrait I was thrilled. What I loved about Sarah's Bridal Session was that it was anything but traditional. Sarah is energetic, outrageous and just makes you laugh. Then there is Jim, he can keep you on your toes while photographing because you never know what is going to happen next with him. This couple was amazing, from portraits at Tangelwood Park, their engagement session at Tangelwood Park and then the wedding at Pine Lake Pavilion. It has been a wonderful time and we are so honored to be the ones to photograph them. Thank you both!

Whitsett, NC | Grigg Family

I meet the Grigg family a couple of years ago when their daughter Katie was getting married. They were looking for a wedding photographer for their intimate wedding they were having. When I met Katie and Chun - I just fell in love with their easy going personalities. Photographing their wedding at her Grandmothers property was amazing, the grounds were beautifully landscaped with roses entwining and growing around the Pergola. A short time later I was asked to photograph her sister Lauren and her finance Todd's wedding, again at the Grandmother's property. What I loved about the weddings is that each were unique and really had really reflected the couples. This past fall - Katie asked me to do some family portraits as a gift for their mother. Not only did we do family photographs, we even took some time to photograph each couple as well as Lauren and Todd's son - who is super adorable. Katie and Chun also asked me if I could please get some photographs of them in their traditional robes - I just love how they got a cute little one for their puppy. It was really wonderful seeing everyone again and thank you for the letting us continue to be a part of your lives. To Lisa, who doesn't like to take photographs - for giving me that perfect smile in the family photograph below.

I love this shot of Lauren, Todd and their son.

Sara Robinson - Burlington, NC

Can I brag in this post? This is my daughter Sara - what an amazing young lady she is. This is her senior year in school, in which she will graduate early in December. Then she will enroll early into College. She is creative, funny and intuitive. She is not sure what avenue she will travel down yet. She loves movie production, photography and culinary. No matter what she decides to go into - she will succeed. I can't wait to see the next few months unfold for her - it is going to be an amazing time. Thanks for letting me brag for just a few minutes.

Brandy's Bridal at Castle McCulloch, Jamestown, NC

I am so excited that I finally can share with you Brandy's Bridal portraits. Brandy is just one of the loveliest people you will ever meet. Her mother and her were so much fun when we meet up at Castle McCulloch last fall to do her bridal portrait. I loved that under that beautiful dress Brandy wore high heel pink shoes. One of Brandy's favorite colors is pink and she found a way to have a bit of her favorite colors in her bridal portrait. I promise to post some of her wedding photographs soon. If you can't wait, check out our new website where Brandy's wedding is featured!




This is the photograph that Brandy had displayed at the wedding!



This just happens to be one of my favorites!
