At its most basic function, shadows slow you down as your brain puts together what it is seeing. And slowing down is what we’re after when we jump on social media, open an album, go to a museum, hold a print in our hands or go to see a movie is all about, isn’t it? We are taking a break from the repetitive go-go-go of our lives in order to connect more deeply with what we need and love.

Gorgeous rural Raleigh wedding venue, super fun and genuine couple, some rad drone work and one of the best sunsets of the year. Interested in any of that? If so, come check out Kate and Reid’s The Meadows Raleigh Wedding. If not, check your pulse because you may be dead.

If you know me at all, you know that I love a good storm during a wedding day and this Jiddi Space and Courtyard Wedding at Sitti Restaurant did not disappoint. It may not have been a hurricane, but sideways rain forced us to get creative and have some fun. Come and see Amy and Cody’s Jiddi Space and Courtyard Wedding at Sitti Restaurant in Raleigh, NC!

The Mims House in Holly Springs, North Carolina is one of my favorite wedding venues. Pair that up with the experience of a Mad Dash Wedding and this is what you get. Come check out Lauren and David’s gorgeous and family centric wedding day from Durham to Holly Springs!

Who says a glamorous wedding can't be a fun wedding? There are a million way to make any wedding fun, and Regine and Mark found a few to make theirs memorable for everyone. Come check out their glamorous, summer Umstead Hotel wedding photos and see how they did it! 

We had a game of chase, some dancing a little bit of sweating, some delicious adult libations and even a formal proposal. Come and check out Regine and Mark's hot. summer North Carolina Museum of Art engagement photos!

There was barely a dry eye amongst their guests or any of the hotels guests for that matter, who had gathered by the pool and outside their rooms to watch this gorgeous Umstead Hotel and Spa wedding.

Until this session, I had never shot for another photographer. Sure, I have had couples where one of them enjoyed photography or fancied themselves a hobbyist. But never a legit, full time photographer with a beautiful portfolio and full time gig.
