Couple touch foreheads in a field at Lake Norman in Charlotte NC

We had the privilege of shooting with not one, but two pairs of high-school sweethearts this month. Tyler and Kirstie were so much fun! They didn’t hold anything back, even when Nathan asked them to roll up their jeans and wade in the chilly waters of Lake Norman. They chose Jetton Park in Cornelius for their session, complete with beautiful surrounding fields, beaches on Lake Norman, wooded trails and the October sun.

We are excited about their June wedding at Carrigan Farms in Mooresville, NC. Enjoy!

Interracial couple embracing during an uptown engagement shoot in charlotte nc

Here is a cute uptown engagement session with a couple who know how to get down. Anika and Jonathan were referred to us by our September 3rd bride, Jenny. Not only did we have the joy of spending the evening with them, but witnessed (and captured) some of their killer dance moves!

We started at the new Mint Museum, made our way down Tryon and decided to chase the light from there. Anika and Jonathan are planning a destination wedding in the Spring of 2012.

Hair & Makeup was done by the amazing Kymm McLean of Who’s the Fairest. Enjoy!

These high school sweethearts’ e-Session put a first in our books with their adorable dog, Lucy. Robin & Jeremy chose a few different areas in Winston-Salem as their backdrop. We started in a beautiful park complete with decade old trees, a stone bridge and mini waterfalls. Not too far away was an enchanting garden with beautifully bloomed fall flowers, arbors and fountains. Jeremy brought along his Chevrolet Corvette to add some of his own flair to the shoot! We finished up in old town Salem. We never knew this place existed, but it made us feel like we were back in New England with all of the old brick houses and covered bridge.

Enjoy the gorgeous couple!
