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!

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!

Luke and Taunee are married!

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!





Matt & Jessica – Made for Each Other

Posted on April 30, 2010

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.

Trash The Dress – Teaser

Posted on February 9, 2010

I have enjoyed experimenting with a few new actions and editing techniques over the past couple of weeks. I am really liking the use of textures here. There are so many ways to make an image pop without destroying the beauty of the original photograph.
