Kicked off 2026 with Madison and Ryan’s engagement session! 💍 We had so much fun taking photos around the NCMA park this week, and Madison braved the cold so well - I’m shocked haha. Pro tip: her secret was wearing uggs in between locations!!

Here are a few of my favorites from their second look, including their sweet dog Boo! Ryan got Boo the week of halloween, hence his spooky name! 👻

The golden hour lighting just hits different in the winter time. It was chilly, but it was so worth it! I loved spending time with them this week and can’t wait for their wedding day this December at Carolina Grove!

Still dreaming about Paul and Cameron’s sweet wedding day! 🥂 It was such a joy to capture every moment, and I truly have an endless list of favorite photos from their day. From the perfectly planned details, to the many sweet first looks, to their sentimental ceremony in their church, it was perfect in every way. These two are so loved, and it was an honor to witness it all. Cheers to the Millers! 💕

Maddy and Cam are officially married and this weekend was the sweetest celebrating them!!! 💚💍Everything about their wedding just felt so truly happy and fun! They met one another about 3 years ago at their CrossFit gym and have been inseparable ever since. They had 200 of their closest friends and family show up to support them and it was so incredibly sweet to see how loved they are! They have such kind hearts and I loved getting to know them and showcase their love for one another! Maddy and Cam are the kind of couple who can pray and cry together, but also chase each other with cans of whip cream at the reception haha. Friday was so much fun!! Cheers to the new Mr & Mrs Woods!!

Loved getting to meet Katie and Jack at their engagement session this week! Getting to know them more and meet their sweet pups was so much fun. Fun fact - Katie and Jack met while attending two different weddings in downtown Raleigh. Katie was attending a wedding at Haywood Hall and Jack was attending a wedding at Market Hall. He had family at this other wedding, so he walked over and the bride introduced them! They’ve been inseparable ever since. Jack proposed in May at the spot where they met, in front of Haywood Hall! The sweetest beginning to their love story and I can’t wait for their wedding day next summer!!
