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?

The Asekhauno Family || A Pullen Park Family Session

The Asekhauno family was referred to us by their friends the Satterlys; it took me a little while, but about four hours after our initial consultation, I remembered that dad Char was at Gabby's first birthday party with little Mr. Liam. The two are the same age, now 18 months, and mom Jackie wanted some family photos to document Liam's endless cuteness. We had a beautiful morning in Pullen Park, and although Liam was a little restless, we got some great shots before the park started to fill up. Liam loves trains and must have run through the defunct train car in the park about a dozen times before we managed to snatch him up in front of it, and every time the park's little train ran around near us, his eyes snapped to it, and he waved to all the people on it. He was adorable, and I'm glad to share the whole family's beautiful images below--enjoy them! More on Facebook.
