Coker Arboretum | Kalle & Daniel's Engagement Pictures | A Chapel Hill, NC Wedding Photographer

I have a sweet couple to share with you today! Kalle and Daniel met years ago in Florida (where they're both from) and have been dating ever since! Daniel is currently getting his PhD at Duke and Kalle works for UNC. 

We had so much fun walking around the Coker Arboretum! Thankfully there will still some leaves on the trees and I was so happy that we were able to get some fall pictures. We also got to end our session unexpectedly with Kalle and Daniel writing their wedding date on a lock and chaining it to a gate. So cute! Here's a few of my favorites from their session:

Historic Oak View County Park | Rebecca & Adam's Engagement Pictures | A Raleigh, NC Wedding Photographer

I really enjoyed walking around Oak View and getting to know Rebecca and Adam! They are such a sweet couple. They're both teachers and I actually met them through my friend Amy with Plume Events. Rebecca and Adam are getting married next July at Highgrove and I CAN'T wait (Highgrove is one of my favorite venues!!). Here's a few of my favorites from their session:

Downtown Raleigh | Abby & Brandon's Engagement Pictures | A Raleigh, NC Wedding Photographer

Abby and Brandon met during their freshman year at Vet school at NC State and it was pretty much love at first sight. They quickly became friends and shortly after meeting, they started dating. They have dated ever since and now they're about to complete school and get married! 

I had SO much fun walking around downtown Raleigh with Abby, Brandon, their adorable dog Petrie, and a few of their friends who kindly helped us with the dog. We started out at the vintage Rialto Theater where their names were on the screen....how darling!! Then we headed downtown Raleigh and got pictures in front all the cute doors and streets I could find and around the Capitol. 

Abby and Brandon, I can't wait for your wedding this spring at Bakery 105 in Wilmington, NC!!

Reynolda Gardens | Kaitlin & Justin's Engagement Pictures | A Winston-Salem, NC Wedding Photographer

I knew I would love working with Kaitlin and Justin from the moment I met them! It didn't hurt that we met over the most delicious cupcakes ever at Maxie B's bakery in Greensboro. I loved meeting Kaitlin's mom and hearing Kaitlin and Justin's story and their vision for their wedding day. 

We had so much fun at their engagement session in the beautiful Reynolda Gardens! Kaitlin's dress and her lipstick color were to die for! I absolutely can't wait for their wedding at Tanglewood Manor next September. Here's a few of my favorite pictures from their session:

JC Raulston Arboretum | Taylor & Josiah's Engagement Pictures | A Raleigh, NC Wedding Photographer

I'm so thankful Taylor and Josiah hired me as their wedding photographer! Josiah's family goes to my church in Mebane (Grace) and I have really enjoyed getting to know Taylor and Josiah better during this exciting time in their lives! Taylor just graduated from UNC and Josiah will be graduating from NC State next year and they'll be getting married next June! I can't wait to shoot their wedding!

We had a great time taking their pictures at the JC Raulston Arboretum in Raleigh. There was so many beautiful flowers blooming and it was so fun to walk around with Taylor and Josiah. We had to reschedule due to all this crazy rain we've been getting but the day we ended up taking their pictures was beautiful and sunny and we were able to get some great golden hour pictures during sunset! Here's a few of my favorites:
