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
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!
Adam & Sunita Engagement

The photo below was taken through a bus window as it passed. I like it.
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!
Stephanie and Aldo Engagement
Aldo and Stephanie are getting married in just a few weeks! I’m excited to be able to photograph their May wedding. I wanted to get these up quickly so they could enjoy them before their big day.
Thanks for looking!
Jeremy and Elizabeth
Jeremy and Elizabeth are such beautiful people. I grew up with Jeremy, spending so much time with his family. (I took pictures of his niece recently.) Jeremy’s always been like a brother to me growing up and I was so happy when him and Elizabeth started dating six years ago. They got engaged this year and are planning a wedding for summer of 2012. They contacted me about a month ago and wanted me to take some photos of them to celebrate their six year anniversary of being together.
We drove out into the country in Monroe area of North Carolina. Elizabeth had some friends that kindly let us shoot on their lovely piece of land. It was beautiful light and a glorious evening. We found some great texture, old cars, and some sweet lookin’ vines.
I hope you enjoy these!!
Jeremy and Elizabeth I sure love you guys!
Look closely you can see the full moon…
Elysse & Michael Engagement
I’ve known Elysse since she was fourteen and I was seventeen. We met at “TheCall School” in Pasadena, CA. She has carried the most tender heart with such a grace about her for as long as I have known her. Her family is very, very dear to my heart… they’re some of my very favorite people. I’m so excited for her!
I met Michael at a coffee shop where I used to work. I got to know him better when Elysse started dating him. They are such a perfect match!
Two weeks ago when I was in Kansas City, I took them out to the Longview area. It was a lovely, windy evening. Elysse and Michael are getting married at the Longview Mansion in October.
Aren’t they such beautiful people?
