Virginia & Kevin || An NC State Wedding in Raleigh

Kevin and Virginia had a sweet and intimate wedding ceremony in a private wedding garden; it was filled with laughter and emotion, and was deeply personal. The minister read out letters that Virginia and Kevin had written to each other, and aside from being full of jokes that showcased just how fun these two's marriage will be, the letters didn't leave a dry eye in the area. The wedding party was made up of fun and sweet folks who made us feel like we were part of the crowd, and Virginia and Kevin's custom playlist at the reception ensured that the party was hoppin' and everyone had tons of fun. Enjoy this selection of images from their sweet and beautiful wedding day! More on Facebook.

Thought I'd include the following little gem as well, paired with one from Virginia and Kevin's engagement session. Their plan, as far as I understand it, is to make this an eventual triptych: one from the engagement session ("First comes love..."), one from their wedding ("...then comes marriage..."), and one from a future maternity session ("...then comes the baby in the baby carriage.") What a cute idea, right?

Alisha & Greg || Love at Home in Carrboro

Alisha got in touch with me to do an at-home session for her and Greg's first wedding anniversary. They had recently moved to Carrboro and wanted to share their new home--and town!--with their friends and family back up North. They ate anniversary cupcakes (in place of the top tier of their wedding cake--how cute is that?), snuggled with their super cute dog, Porter, and were just generally adorable walking around downtown Carrboro to some of Alisha's favorite murals. We also managed to incorporate some beautiful fall colors--we were lucky they still remained at the beginning of November! Enjoy this selection from Alisha and Greg's lovely anniversary session.
