Kitty Hawk NC Portrait Session

Man o man… NC you are lovely and we miss you.

Here are a few images we took while in the OBX of Dan’s brother and his girlfriend. I’m so glad we got to finally photograph these two. They came down to the beach to visit us and we spent the weekend eating out, drinking, and sitting on the beach. At the end of one of these heavenly days, we hopped in the car and headed to the soundside to grab a few photos of them. We had wrapped up the shoot and were back in the car headed home when the sky LIT UP in this amazing pink color. We turned left and rushed to the closest water access we knew of and grabbed my favorite images of the session. <3

All the heart eyes for these two.

Jockeys Ridge Portrait Session: Emily and Jim

As you probably know, Dan and I spend a lot of time in the Outer Banks of NC during the winter and spring months. Come to think of it, we really should start marketing down there and shoot some weddings dontcha think??

Emily and Jim are friends of ours and have been for years. They are OBX locals, living that dream beach life all year round. Jim and Dan surf together when we are there and we like to get together for dinners and brunches and general hangouts as much as we can. Since they are the cutest, and we have been friends with them forever, we wanted to take some photos of them so… we did!

Outer Banks Portrait Session: Joanna and Jon

Its my sister and my brother-in-law!!!

I was starting to feel like that cobbler whose kids had no shoes when it came to my sister and bro. We photographed their wedding back in 2011 however they had no update since then! We had tried to set up several shoots with them in the past but things get pushed aside when you only have a little time to hang out and you just want to hang out! Thankfully, earlier this spring, they came to visit us at the beach, and we were able to carve out some time for this mini session. Updated pics for our family members always feels good.

So enjoy my sister and her husband… energy and laughter for days.

Grove Park Inn Wedding in Asheville, NC

These two were married at the Grove Park Inn, in Asheville NC. It was a wedding full of their dearest family and friends and lots charm. The bride got ready with her two bridesmaids who were some of the biggest supports I have ever seen. They had this girls back! Even in the fact of an almost hour long buttoning process for the dress itself… yes. The dress fit perfectly but those little loops for the buttons may have been the wrong size button loops. I swear it was like threading a needle for each one AND a crochet hook was no help. She even went to her first look without all the buttons complete. She wanted to see her man… buttons or no buttons!

Their first look was precious, especially because of how she looked at him the whole time. She was beyond enamoured with him. It was a joy to witness. Afterwards we feverishly finished the buttons before their ceremony overlooking the Blue Ridge Mountains. It was a breath-taking view! I wish I could transport all of you there right now for a look! What followed was a fun reception with hilarious toasts, a rowdy photo booth and tasty treats. All in all… a great wedding to be a part of. We have the best job.
