Drew & Elizabeth Anne Engagement

Drew & Elizabeth Anne are great friends of Matthew & Lauren (See wedding here). Elizabeth Anne wanted to do their engagement session at her childhood home in Gastonia. It’s being sold and the property holds dear memories for her. A big red barn, a sweet white home, her mother’s rose garden (her mom passed away a few years ago,) her horse, her twin labs, and a beautiful little pasture.  I almost choked up when she told me how much it meant to her.

Their wedding is next June in uptown Charlotte at the Charlotte City Club. Exciting!! ;D

Congrats Drew & Elizabeth Anne!

 

*Bottom photo: I didn’t photoshop this photo to look like this. I brightened it a bit. I actually shot through flowers and plants and it created this yummy texture. hmmm… I like

 

Daphne & Andrew Engagement

Daphne & Andrew are getting married at Freedom Park in late August. On their engagement session we started in Noda area early Sunday morning and ended slurping milkshakes at Matties Diner in the Music Factory area around noon. I had a great time photographing these two!

Enjoy!

Congrats Daphne & Andrew, I’m excited to shoot your wedding!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Corey & Katie Engagement

Corey and Katie have such a grace about them, and during this session is it was so evident that they truly love each other.  They made it super easy for me to photograph them. In October I’ll be shooting their wedding, and they actually found me through google images and I can’t say enough how glad I am that I tag my blog posts.

We decided to do their Engagement session at Queens University Campus where they both went to school and met. I haven’t ever been there before, but I really loved the big trees, large old doors and the gorgeous chapel they took me into.

I hope you all enjoy these photos!

Congrats Katie and Corey, I’m excited about your big day coming soon!

Matthew & Lauren Engagement

Lauren contacted me about a year ago. She found my photography through my beautiful sister-in-law being on Girl Meets Gown. Lauren, Matt and I met at a coffee shop last summer and chatted about her plans for a barn wedding filled with antiques. She wanted to do a rustic, country, October wedding.  I am really excited about shooting their wedding in October.

The day before this engagement session, Brandon and I went and spent the day with Lauren and her family at the Steeple Chase out near Waxhaw. (I’ll blog my photos from it later!) We had the best time, eating, laughing, sipping sangria’s and watching the horse race. We so enjoyed getting to know Lauren and her family and feeling like we were in the movie “My Fair Lady”. I felt extremely spoiled by getting to watch the horse race from the paddock area.

First week of May we spent a Sunday evening in Waxhaw town, and ventured out in the country to an old general store and massive barn. I was dying, I wanted to shoot everything. The texture was so yummy, and Matt and Lauren were so great to work with. I’m really excited to share these photos. I hope you guys enjoy them!
