engaged

I was so excited when these two wanted me to come to Raleigh for their engagement session. Even better, they wanted them taken at NCMA. I woke up the day of, checked the weather, and things were going to be sunny and 70 degrees. I arrived in sunny Raleigh, and 30 minutes before the session, a thunderstorm appeared on the radar. Once I met up with Bill and Kemper, the rain started and took for.ev.er. to stop. I’m so thankful these two didn’t mind and were happy to continue with random bits of shelter and an umbrella. Afterwards these two introduced me to the DELICIOUS pizza of Trophy Brewing and Pizza Co., and got to chat more about how they met and, of course, wedding plans. They are a darling couple and definitely have character. I know their wedding is going to be a blast!

By the way, are you into knitting? Because Kemper is. And Kemper is awesome. She has a podcast and blog about knitting, and it’s just as awesome as she is. Check her out!

I went into this session nervous about the outcome. This beautiful couple wanted sunshine and nature, so we woke up at sunrise to get it. Instead of sun, we got fog and clouds. Luckily this couple is open minded, up for anything, and liked the idea of getting photos that were different from other engagement shoots. Thanks to them, we ended up with one of my favorite sessions ever. They were willing to climb onto a rock in the lake and sit under slightly muddy tepees we found in the woods (yeah, what??), and because of it we got some incredible images. So now I present to you, Emily and Brandon, two people who are adventurous, very much in love, and aren’t afraid to show it. Can’t wait for your wedding!!
