To round out this week, we have Zack and Sarah’s full blog post, these two were married last weekend in the midst of some of the rainiest weeks I have ever experienced in Charlotte. Luckily, I fear no weather so the wedding turned out amazing (photos from that coming soon). Their engagement session was full of light, laughter, and love, which is really a reflection on their relationship.
Zack & Sarah – pt 1
Zack and Sarah were married last weekend and while we were faced with lots of rain for the wedding day, we had a gorgeous summer’s evening to photograph their engagement session. Wing Haven Gardens, as always, was a magical backdrop for their engagement session.
Zack & Sarah
Zack and Sarah have an exuberance about them that is infectious. Their affection for one another is exciting to photograph and it made them all the easier to photograph. Photo captured at Wing Haven Gardens in Charlotte, NC.
Maternity: Amy
Amy approached me about photographing her maternity session at Wing Haven Gardens. I jumped at the opportunity as Wing Haven is by far one of my favorite locations in Charlotte and Jim and Amy are such a fantastic and photogenic couple. The soft natural setting matched the look Amy wanted her maternity photos to have and we were blessed with gorgeous light that day as well.

Another photo of Amy in the midst of the gorgeous greenery of Wing Haven Gardens. It suited her well as she wanted to really have a vibrant location to mirror her little boy who would be arriving soon. I love the soft natural textures that bolster the maternity session.

Amy just delivered her little boy 2 weeks ago, but I still want to share her wonderful maternity photos at Wing Haven Gardens. I love being a part of their growing family and sharing in the joy of a new life!
