During their engagement session, I was struck by how in love Tracey and Kenny are – and, not surprisingly, it shows in their photos!  Tracey had told me that color pop in their photos was important, as she would be wearing a nontraditional red wedding gown – a fact that made me all the more excited about being selected to shoot their May wedding!

Tracey & Kenny are actually from Fredericksburg, VA, but planned for the wedding to take place at the Gateway Convention Center in Rocky Mount, NC. We decided to do their engagement session in downtown Durham, as it had exactly the urban/grunge look we were going for.  We were able to utilize some great spots, and I was delighted with the colors in these images!

Light teal isn’t a color I get to work with often, and I was delighted with how it came out – I have to say this has to be one of my favorite images of the day!

I am somewhat behind on blogging, but am attempting to catch up! Next post, I will be announcing some big changes to our services and there will also be a special surprise. Stay tuned!

Matt and Jessica are truly the sweetest couple and I am so blessed that they picked me to be their wedding photographer! They are one of those couples who bring out the best in each other, and you can feel the love they share. We decided to start off their engagement session at the American Tobacco Campus in downtown Durham. I love when my clients pick the location – it really just says so much about them!

It was a very windy day, and although wind can be hard to work with, Matt and Jessica didn’t let it phase them. :-)

They are such a fun-loving couple, and it shows!

American playwright, August Wilson, once said, “All you need in the world is love and laughter. That’s all anybody needs. To have love in one hand and laughter in the other.”

I happen to think he was right.

Even though it was not a particularly cold day, I thought the blanket was an ingenius idea after we had to twice reschedule the session because of rain and snow!

We got a few individual shots as well. Jessica looks gorgeous here – and I was surprised to learn that Matt is a musician as well! (In fact, his band performed at the wedding!)

We managed to sneak in a couple of shots with the couple’s greyhound, Mitchell.

Thank you for being so fabulous and making this session so much fun you guys!
