Sudie and Evin Film Engagement Session

by Olivia Suriano in Engagements on July 21, 2017

June was a busy month. In one weekend I was in two states, and three cities, for three different shoots. Sudie and Evin's engagement session just so happened to be one of them, and it was the perfect morning to truly enjoy what I do. One thing we always say we love about engagement sessions is how it allows us to get to know a couple better before their wedding day. D[...]

Taylor and Will Angus Barn Film Wedding

by Olivia Suriano in Weddings on July 10, 2017

Timeless. When I think about Taylor and Will, timeless is the first word that comes to mind. Every detail in their wedding day spoke to my "classic" loving heart, and I was so excited to photograph it. Similar to their personal style, both Taylor and Will's personalities are ones that just seem to never go out of style. They are people who come into your life and [...]

Laura and Eric Wilmington, NC Film Wedding

by Olivia Suriano in Weddings on May 22, 2017

Every person that I met at Laura and Eric's wedding said to me, "Oh you're the girl who was stuck on a boat with them for several hours" and every time the three of us would look at each other and just laugh. Because, yes, in fact during Laura and Eric's engagement session we got to know each other really well over what started out as a fun boat ride and turned into a[...]

There is so much hard work and planning that goes into making your big day happen, so when a wedding publication loves what you created for your wedding day just as much as you do, you can't help but get excited.

We are so incredibly blessed to have so many wonderful wedding venues in the Raleigh-Durham area, but we also enjoy traveling outside our little triangle, and sh[...]
