Coker Arboretum | Cheryl & Ryan's Engagement Pictures | A Chapel Hill, NC Wedding Photographer

I always love visiting UNC's beautiful campus! I had a wonderful time walking around with Cheryl and Ryan and taking in all the pretty flowers in the Coker Arboretum. We also managed to get a few pictures at the old well which was quite a feat because we had to battle a whole sorority formal and several graduating seniors for a spot! I'm really looking forward to Cheryl and Ryan's wedding a Merry Hill in just a few more weeks!! 

Saxapahaw | Gabby & Nathanael's Engagement Pictures | A Saxapahaw, NC Wedding Photographer

I'm excited to share with you an engagement session of a couple that is very special to to me! Nathanael has been one of Alex's closest friends for many years and Alex and I have both become very close with the Dunkerton family. Nathanael's dad, Andy, is a pastor at our home church (before we moved to Winston), Grace. 

Gabby and Nathanael met on a Campus Outreach summer trip to Thailand a few years ago and started dating in the fall after the trip was over. Nathanael is in the military and he has been deployed for the last year so Gabby and Nathanael have had a very long distance relationship. During that time, I've had the privilege of getting to know Gabby well and it has been a joy to see her trust the Lord while she and Nathanael have lived so far apart. 

I am so happy for them that they won't have to be apart much longer! Here's a few of my favorite pictures from their session:

Best of 2016 Engagement Pictures

Somehow the month of January just escaped me and we're already almost halfway through February...yikes!  I guess that's what happens when you move! Today I will be sharing with you my last post on 2016. If you missed them, I shared Best of 2016 Weddings and 2016 Behind the Scenes. Here's some of my favorite engagement pictures from 2016:

Cedarock Park | Simone & Miles' Engagement Pictures | A Burlington, NC Wedding Photographer

I had so much fun shooting Simone and Miles' engagement session just before Christmas! It was FREEZING outside but they were troopers and had a great attitude throughout their entire shoot. Here's a few of my favorite pictures:

Clemson Botanical Gardens | Crystal & Heath's Engagement Pictures | A Clemson, SC Wedding Photographer

I am SO excited to share today's session with you. I have know Heath and Crystal for years and I could not be happier that they're getting married! In fact, I became friends with Heath our freshman year of college over 10 years ago (yikes, are we really that old?!). Heath and Crystal are an amazing, Godly couple and their marriage will be a true display of Christ's love for His church.

I absolutely LOVED their session. We took most of their pictures at the Botanical Gardens during the golden hour and I'm kind of obsessed with the tall grass and soft, glowy light! Here's some of my favorites:
