Love this session, love this couple, love their sweet dog Abbey.  We began on a brisk morning in downtown Raleigh at the Morning Times Coffee shop.  Everything fell into place perfectly, and we spent the first part of the session just spending time in and around the fun decor the coffee shop had to offer.  Janine is such a sweet and creative person; one who truly loves the world of weddings & engagements.  I could tell she spent time thinking about this session and planning for it, and it paid off.  The colors, the scenery - everything she chose fit them perfectly. She owns her own stationary business, so I am looking forward to capturing her paper creativity on her big day! (You can check out her blog HERE.)

I love how adorable this next one is!

maybe my favorite ring shot ever:

After spending some time at the Morning Times, we went for a stroll downtown.  One thing Janine and Craig really wanted was the "Abbey Road" photo, with their own twist.  I love how these turned out :

We wrapped up our session at this amazing part of downtown Raleigh that Janine and Craig picked out.  It's a combination of stone streets, an old railroad station, antique stores & industrial buildings.  It was incredible, and really made for some fun, creative photos.

Janine and Craig - I loved the creativity and thought that you put into this session,  as well as your sweet puppy!  Can't wait for your big day next year!
