Alex and Alicia

So first there was "Ben and Brittany" and now there is "Alex and Alicia"... do you see a trend starting? haha. I am happy to be posting another fun engagement shoot from a few weeks ago. I really love shooting engagements... it's so fun to watch couples in love and be a part of documenting this exciting time right before they start their married lives together. These two are so sweet, and you can just tell that they not only love each other, but are best friends and kindred spirits. We had a great time in downtown Raleigh, exploring back alleys and side streets. Here is a sampling of our time together!


I loved the sea foam color of these doors:-) It made for a pretty palette.





I brought along some chalk for them to express themselves. I thought what they made was really cute. The arrow was Alex's idea!





Both of them have beautiful blue eyes.. which always photograph so well in black and white.



I love this shot.




Fun with hearts..




They really wanted a picture with the skyline of downtown because they are both involved with helping the homeless in downtown Raleigh. I mean really, could they be any more darling?


Thanks for letting me spend a fun afternoon with you guys! I can't wait for the wedding!!

Ben and Brittany!

I have had the pleasure of shooting the most fun engagement sessions lately! I have been really inspired by new ideas and new locations! Ben and Brittany go to my church, and I was so excited when they asked if I could shoot their engagement pictures. These two are adorable to watch, and they kept me laughing the entire time. Ben is really in his element in front of the camera, and Brittany really worked it too! We ran all around Raleigh for a couple of hours, and their energy never diminished! I loved this session so much, I really had a hard time choosing which shots to share with you, beloved blog reader. But after a bit of deliberation, here are the ones I think I like best of them all:-)



I love marquee letters! A friend of mine gave me some for my name.. and since Ben and Brittany start with the same letter as Becca, I thought I would bring it along! So fun!

Sillyness!




These guys can do serious too though!


This is all my actual furniture. haha. If you know me, you know I have a weakness for chairs. More often than not, there is at least one piece of furniture in my car from a shoot!





I love these next two:-)





I told her that her hand looked like she was choking him... so she went with it:-)


The end! I really wish I could show you all of the jumping pictures. By far the best jumpers I've ever had:-)


Guys, you were such a delight to shoot! I know God will certainly bless your marriage, because it's pretty obvious He made you for each other:-)

Hannah's Bridals!

I just shot Hannah's wedding this past weekend, so now I get to share her bridal portraits! My least favorite thing about shooting bridal portraits is having to wait to post them until after the wedding:-). Hannah made a beautiful bride, and we happened to shoot her bridal portraits on one of the prettiest days of the spring. Everything was in full bloom! We shot over at the seminary in Wake Forest, and found lots of pretty spots. Look how lovely she is..

So pretty!




I loved all of the branches coming from everywhere!



I really love the softness in this one. She has such a joyful spirit, and it just comes out in every picture of her.



I was back near this spot the very next week, and all of that lovely purple was gone! I'm so glad we got it in these!



R is for Rodriguez (Hannah's new last name)!


Congrats on the wedding, Hannah! Wedding pictures to follow!
