Kayla’s shoot was too cute! She brought her bf and friends along and we were even able to go inside the Belltower! I think the top tip to take away from Kayla’s session is to bring some props, some friends, and be ready to have fun!
Pick the spot I recommend coming up with the look and vibe you want and then I’ll help you hunt down the perfect spot. Want a nature look? We’ll go to a state park! Want a beautiful spring garden vibe? Raleigh rose garden might be a good option. Want a clean modern look? NC Art […]
Flashy reception photos have become somewhat of a trend, but it’s a trend I love for these 3 reasons. They look like party pics While I definitely will get as many natural light reception decor photos as possible, as a reception goes on the vibes tend to get more hype and party-like! Flashy photos really […]
Chose the right locations Narrow down the spots you want on or off campus! I always tell people to choose the biggest spots first and if we have time we’ll make little stops for anything else! Choose the right outfits I recommend a formal and a casual one! A formal outfit always looks good with […]

Choosing the best engagement photo location can be kinda hard. Not everyone dreams of doing their engagement photos in a field (not that there’s anything wrong with that!) If you’re more of a city girl like me, the idea of going out to a field now matter how pretty it is, may not be ideal […]
You might remember Anne and Nick from their Beautiful downtown Cary engagement session. That day was burning hot, but they were such good sports. Well luckily for them, their wedding day was perfect in basically every way! From the weather to the decor to actually being on time (an amazing thing for weddings!) Everything ran […]
Takira and Tajai’s intimate wedding was an absolute dream. And what made it so much sweeter was how much it took to get to this point. Most 2020 brides can relate to having to change most (if not all) of their wedding plans. Backstory For Takira and Tajai they changed their plans several times! The […]
