Jayme and Christian's uptdown Charlotte engagement shoot was a perfect session.  We were a little worried about the weather, but it worked out to be a beautiful evening and uptown Charlotte proved once again to be the perfect backdrop for the session.

Jayme and Christian are adorable together and they were just the sweetest to work with.  I am looking forward to their May wedding at Magnolia Glen!

Kyle and Alina are the sweetest!  We had a wonderful time at their engagement shoot.  They don't live in the Charlotte area, so they came into town for their engagement session.  It was a hot summer evening and we made the most of it.  We had all the space we needed at The Oaks.  There was a pond, open fields, wild flowers and a beautiful sunset.  What else could you possibly need!?!

We look forward to Kyle and Alina's wedding next year!

I was thrilled to meet Meghan.  We met through a former bride and groom of ours that I just loved and so I knew I wanted to work with her right from the start!  Meghan and Ryan are the sweetest couple and we have had a great time together through every step of our journey together.... planning the engagement shoot, the shoot itself, planning the bridals (which we are still doing) and everything that it takes to make these photoshoots come together as exactly what the couple wants.  It's just icing on the cake when you get to have so much fun doing it all!

I am so excited for their April Uptown Charlotte wedding at St. Peter's and The Mint Museum!

For Tara and Julian's engagement session, they wanted a variety between the natural outdoors and uptown.  Fortunately here in Charlotte, we have that luxury all in one spot!  We headed over to Freedom Park just outside of Uptown for the first portion of our session.  Tara and Julian were picture perfect and so much fun.  It was a hot day, but we had so much fun that I hardly noticed.

Then it was off to uptown.  We toured around and snapped some really neat shots.  The weather and light were working in our favor and there were so many opportunities that we had to cease within minutes to take advantage of.  But Tara and Julian were up to the task and it really paid off!  There were moments when we had to dive into an area to benefit from a reflection off of a building, and other times when we scrambled to get the sun exactly where we wanted it behind the clouds to make beautiful rays raining down around them.  It was fun to be so flexible and just enjoy what nature was giving us!

I can't wait until their September wedding at The Bottle Factory in Monroe, NC!!!

I met Kira and was immediately drawn to her free spirit right away!  So I looked forward to meeting Evan because I knew, like her, he would be one of those people that you just want to be around.  And I was right.  We had the best time together for their engagement session.  

Kira and Evan are getting married at The Ivy Place in Lancaster, SC.  We met there for their engagement session and I instantly fell in love with the charm of the location.  It is the perfect place for these two, featuring so many different looks, all of which have an effortless natural beauty.  It's the kind of place where you can picture a writer being inspired to write a classic novel from the gardens or out by the old oak tree in the field.  

We started in the fields with their dogs and made our way over to the old oak tree.  Kira and Evan are perfect together and they are so natural that there was practically no effort on my part to photograph them.  By the time we made it over to the gardens I was just quietly capturing them together as a couple.  It was great and I'm so happy for them.  Capturing that kind of love and chemistry is magical.

I look forward to their wedding next month at The Ivy Place!
