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 […]

The Merrimon-Wynne House is one of my favorite historic wedding venue homes in NC. It’s located near downtown Raleigh and is absolutely gorgeous! I’m sharing some highlights of Nancy and James’s 2019 Winter wedding so that you can get a clearer picture of what it would be like to get married here! This venue is […]
I’m so excited to share this Downtown Cary NC Engagement Session today! A little about this sweet couple. Nick proposed to Anne at Jordan Lake where his cousin was taking photos of them. (So smart to hide the proposal during a photoshoot!) Nick then got down on one knee and of course, Anne said yes! […]
