Samara and Joe’s vibrant January wedding at The Distillery
Samara and Joe’s wedding this past January was a celebration of love, joy, and meaningful moments. From the cheerful rainbow pastel florals to the incorporation of Polish traditions honoring Joe’s family’s heritage, every detail reflected their thoughtful personalities and shared love story.
Wendy & Beau
I met up with Wendy and Beau at Merritt’s Pasture in Chapel Hill on a very chilly January afternoon indeed! The pasture is quickly becoming a favorite for winter engagement sessions and it’s clear why — it’s still so green, even in the middle of winter! I was amazed at how lovely the trees still were.

Deanna and Tyquane’s December wedding at The Barn at Valhalla in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, was nothing short of magical.

From their dusty blue decor to the heartfelt moments shared throughout the day, their wedding was a beautiful reflection of their love and individuality.
Brianna & Ian
Bright lights, towering buildings, and the buzz of city life – that’s what we thought we had in store for us throughout Bri and Ian’s winter engagement session this weekend! When our first date turned out to be a dreary, rainy mess, we originally planned on moving indoors in downtown Raleigh. We finally figured out another day that would work for an outdoor shoot, and I'm so glad we did — these turned out so well!!
