Oh how I love this couple! Brittaney exudes joy. Every part of her is joyful, content, happy, in love. What a beautiful person to photograph! And Jeff - strong, quiet, tall, and definitely not afraid to laugh (ie : make Brittaney laugh.) They are the perfect match. I cannot wait for their sweet wedding in just a few months.
We began their sweet session in the heart of Downtown Raleigh, followed by a fun adventure to historic Pullen Park that recently re-opened.
These sweet photos make my heart just melt. My newest niece, Haven Joy, was born December 15, 2011. When visiting Nashville over New Years, I had some time to take a few newborn photos of sweet Haven. The soft, wrinkly skin, those big eyes looking back at me - be still my heart! I can't wait to watch her little personality grow and grow.
And of course, we attempted the Blanton family photo with 5 kids: Ages 3 and under. It was hilarious, as usual. Oh how I love this family.
On New Year's Eve, I turned the grand ol' age of 25. I had 3 things on my birthday list: 1. Chuy's 2. A cheesecake factory Original Cheesecake & 3. Snuggle time with my newest niece, Haven. I got everything I wished for and more! We spent New Years in Nashville, TN, visiting my sister and her family. Will surprised me with a segway tour of Nashville, (yes I love Segways, I can't help it) and breakfast at the incredible Pfunky Griddle. It was laid back, fun, and spent with some of my favorite people. I'm already loving this year... here's to being 25!
At the Pfunky Griddle, you get to make your own pancakes & french toast at your table! My newest obsession.
There is something so magical about winter weddings... when the air is brisk, the trees are bare, the lights twinkle and the holidays are near. Robin and Tommy created the most beautiful day together. December 17, 2011, in the heart of Chapel Hill, they committed their lives to one another. Robin has the most classic and beautiful style; reminiscent of Audrey Hepburn. A Southern Belle at heart, Robin incorporated perfect Southern elements into her day : a chapel length veil, a horse-drawn carriage, baby's breath arrangements, a 1924 reception venue, and a sentimental Bible built into her bouquet to carry down the aisle. Enjoy this beautiful couple's wedding!
Ceremony : Chapel of the Cross
Reception : The Carolina Inn
Florist : A Fresh Affair
Robin and Tommy chose to have a morning wedding, which perfectly suited them. I adore morning weddings - they are so fresh and vibrant. Not to mention, the light is gorgeous all the way into the reception!
A few of my favorite things about their day? Her lovely ruffled getaway dress with birdcage veil, the fact they drank milk with their cake instead of champagne, and the bells they had family and friends ring as they exited!
Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Koonce!
Lovely family Nancy!
