Taunee and Luke are finally married! It has been so hard for me to keep these images under wraps, but now that the wedding has come and gone, I can finally reveal a few of the images from Taunee’s bridal session!

We started out on the bridge where they planned for the ceremony to take place, and ended with a few shots in downtown Greensboro. Taunee has to be one of the sweetest brides I have ever had the pleasure of working with, and the wedding was one I won’t soon forget!

I love when my brides plan ahead! Taunee came armed with some creative ideas about incorporating color in her photos – including this orange parasol!

I LOOOVE that dress!

Look at the yellow shoes! Taunee told us how she found this pair on Ebay when she didn’t like anything she saw in local shops. I think a bride’s shoes say a lot about her personality and I simply love these!

Saving the best for last ;) My favorite two shots of the day!

Last but not least – a sneak peek from their wedding day! I can’t wait to share the rest of their images in a few weeks!

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!

I won’t lie – I was downright pleased when temperatures started to rise and the first flowers finally revealed themselves this spring. This past winter was the hardest I’d experienced in North Carolina – I hadn’t seen that much snow since I moved down here from Maine in 2002.

We have some beautiful purple flowers growing over the fence in our backyard. I won’t pretend to know a lot about flowers in general, but I believe this a wisteria vine. They have a beautiful lingering scent that saturated our yard in fragrance.

I took the image above, as well as the one below, several days ago just before sunset.

The image below was taken this morning, and I was saddened to see that most of the blossoms have now gone by.

I love the way the light touches the leaves and petals here. Although I’m typically not a “flower photographer” I really had fun capturing these images.

Spring is finally here, with summer just around the corner! What can I say? I am ready!
