Sarah and Todd are getting married in June here in NC. They might look a little familiar as this was their second engagement session with me. Their first was in an antique store. It was a pretty awesome session. But, they also wanted something outside too so we met up here in Smithfield and had some fun. It rained a LOT the day before so it was a little muddy but we did what we could. It was an absolute gorgeous day. 20110410-DSC_0636 20110410-DSC_0679 20110410-DSC_0713

The first time Ali and I talked over email I knew I was going to like this girl. When I met her to talk about her wedding I ABSOLUTELY knew I liked her. She is awesome and super excited about her wedding. What girl wouldnt be though? I was excited to meet her fiance, Matt for their engagement session and I like him too. They are both super excited and into the photography aspect of their big day (and their engagement session) which is what every photographer loves to hear. Ok ok, I know they have been waiting a while to see these so lets get to it!

Over the Christmas holidays I got a very excited call from my friend Randi. Tyler had just proposed and she was calling to tell everything the awesome news! I was of course SUPER excited for her even though I had only met Tyler once before when they first moved in. Over the last few months we planned out their engagement session and we figured we would do it when she came back home for my baby shower. About a week or two before the shower some photography friends of mine (Kaye Murphy and Jessi Field) told me they wanted to do a “shoot out” type event while I was in town and I was super excited for that too- until they told me the date. It was the same and only date I could shoot Randi and Tyler’s engagement session! So, I asked if they needed models still and they did and “VOILA!” Problem solved AND they got some awesome shots out of the deal. Shoot outs are always interesting and usually you get some pretty amazing stuff from them. I happen to love all of these photos because she (and I guess THEY) is my friend. Oh and Randi, you should be happy I decided not to throw in some awesome photos of us back in the day. We LOOKED awesome as 9th graders… just sayin. 20110327-DSC_7355

Isnt she so pretty? 20110327-DSC_7334 20110327-DSC_7372 20110327-DSC_7378 20110327-DSC_7389

While everyone else was taking photos of Randi I grabbed a few shots of Tyler. He is dashing isnt he? 20110327-DSC_7416 20110327-DSC_7470 copy 20110327-DSC_7482 20110327-DSC_7446

Jessi let me borrow her Tilt Shift lens and I think I fell in love. Ive rented it for a few upcoming sessions I have and Im excited to do more fun things with it! I think the rest of these photos were taken with it, it took a while to get the focus down. 20110327-DSC_7597 20110327-DSC_7605

I wish I had been able to get both eyes in focus. Oh well. She’s still gorgeous! 20110327-DSC_7608 20110327-DSC_7626 20110327-DSC_7636 20110327-DSC_7646 20110327-DSC_7658 20110327-DSC_7670 20110327-DSC_7700 20110327-DSC_7708 20110327-DSC_7722

Brie just got back from a tour in Afghanistan. Like seriously, she got back like last week.

Then he proposed.

Now they’re moving to England.

Thats going to happen pretty soon too.

Todd and Sarah are getting married in Bailey, NC this coming June. I met with them this weekend for a fun engagement session. We met up at a local antique store with a ton of pricey merchandise. Like seriously, the cheapest thing we saw was around $750ish. CRAZY. But if youre ever in the area you should definitely take a looksie loo, Boone’s Antiques. 20110212-DSC_4021 20110212-DSC_4054 20110212-DSC_4116 20110212-DSC_4122 copy I dont know how all of these gorgeous brides with crazy awesome bling in their fingers keep finding me, but I love it! 20110212-DSC_4190 20110123-DSC_8788 20110123-DSC_8778 20110212-DSC_4098 20110212-DSC_4152 20110212-DSC_4154 20110212-DSC_4156 20110212-DSC_4175 20110212-DSC_4178 20110212-DSC_4204 Oh I cant wait until their next engagement session in April and then their wedding in June at the Leaning Tree. Its going to be a good time.
