Kirk & Lisa Get [Married]!

Kirk & Lisa are an amazing couple.  They keep each other balanced, and bring out the best in each other.  I don't think I've met a couple that's more even keeled than these two.  Lisa and Kirk met at NC State and planned their wedding in Lisa's hometown (Charlotte) from Raleigh!  I love working with out of town couple's and making their day amazing!

Lastly, Lisa and Kirk's day couldn't have been possible without the wonderful help of Dawn Roof!

Cayleb and Jayden Get [Together] Session

Cayleb and Jayden were 12 day old identical twin boys when I had the opportunity to shoot their first few days in the world.  There was nothing fancy about this session, not many props, not many pictures... but so much love.  Megan (their Mom) is a true inspiration... a single mom, working hard, and pouring her heart, soul and life into making these boys lives amazing.  Their life is already amazing because they have her as their Mom.  Megan is just one of those people that brings light wherever she goes... I can't help but hug her and smile every time I get the chance to see her.  Thank you for letting me share these special moments with you, girl.  You're doing an amazing job... keep it up.

Ashley & Dallin Get [Married]!

Ashley & Dallin were one of those couple's that signed before they had a date... or a venue... or a city.  We kept emailing each other back and forth updating available dates, places, and locations.  It was February when I got the email saying, "We landed on a date and place, are you open?"  I would have moved heaven and earth to shoot this wedding, and the sunrise session that followed.  Hope you enjoy!

Dresses - David's Bridal

Tux's - Men's Warehouse
Cake - Cakes by the Sea
Flowers - Simply Unique Flowers & Gifts
Ceremony & Reception - Brunswick Plantation

And some amazing shots from our Just Us & next day Sunrise Session....

Alex & Krystin Get [Engaged]!

Alex & Krystin found love across the pond, and of all the places they chose to live... they chose Charlotte.  While Alex ties up loose ends in London, Krystin is here setting up their home and planning their wedding.  I loved shooting this Get [Engaged] session and having the opportunity to shoot their wedding in Mexico next year!
