Remember Jessica and Matt? They were married in April of this year! I admit, I am a little behind in blogging but am going to do my best to remedy that in the next few days.

As the hour grew near, the excitement was palpable!

The first dance is always one of my favorite parts of the evening. The lighting over the dance floor was beautiful and you can see how happy the newlyweds are.

Matt’s band provided the entertainment for the evening.

And then Matt had a special song to sing for Jessica.

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!
