Will + Emily become one @ The Howard House in Dunn, NC

Young love is a good love. What more can I say.  It is blind. It is fearless. It is hopeful. It is beautiful.  This love is young and enduring.  This love is Will and Emily. You could feel the love oozing through the cracks of the hardwood floors of this historic location.  Sounds of children could also be heard echoing through the house with the creaks marked by high heels running back and forth up the steps of this illustrious mansion.  When I entered the home, I was met by Emily's father, who looked calm and cool under the circumstances.  The sound of clamoring bridesmaids and the nervous laughs of the groomsmen never get old.

Oh lovely day.

Oh lovely time.

It's their wedding day!

Parris + Janae: Engagement Session

How wonderful it is when you see so much love in such a young couple. These are my contest winners of my first ever wedding giveaway and I think I chose wisely.  Parris and Janae are a one of a kind couple getting married this year.  With their creativity and uniqueness it's a wonder that our shoot didn't become a two day shoot.  I had SO MUCH FUN.  Between walking on train tracks, seeing a festival, going to a coffee shop, then the general store, then a soda shop, it was a tour of beautiful Belmont.
