Kasey and Zach Chapel Hill, NC Film Engagement Session

by Callie Davis in Engagements on October 19, 2017

This couple and I go way back. Zach and I first met when he was in high school and I was leading Young Life at Cary High School. We were at Summer Camp and people kept coming up to me saying "There is someone here who looks just like your brother." It wasn't my brother, but instead it was Zach and back then (without a mustache) he really did look just like my brot[...]

Katherine and Pete Chapel Hill, NC Film Engagement Session

by Callie Davis in Engagements on October 17, 2017

Anything related to UNC holds special meaning for Katherine and Pete so it was an easy decision for them when I asked where we should do their engagement session. They met at UNC when they were sophomores and have so many fond memories there; football games, fraternity and sorority functions, and meals at City Kitchen. Katherine is currently in medical school in Flori[...]

Madison and Spencer Atlantic Beach Film Engagement Session

by Callie Davis in Engagements on September 25, 2017

There is a reason that we suggest that our couples choose the location for their engagement session. It makes them feel more comfortable in a place that has meaning and allows them to have pictures taken in one of their favorite spots. I love that Spencer and Madison chose to have their engagement sessions at one of my favorite places also - Atlantic Beach, NC! Madiso[...]

Kate and Caleb Greenville, SC Film Engagement Session

by Olivia Suriano in Engagements on September 5, 2017

There aren't quite enough words for me to tell you just how much these two mean to me. Two years ago Callie and I had the opportunity to photograph a wedding in Blufton, SC and it was all things magical. We loved everyone at that wedding and have talked about it ever since. Then this year, the sister of the groom from our beautiful wedding two years ago, got engaged a[...]

Shelton and Keegan Charlotte Film Engagement Session

by Olivia Suriano in Engagements on August 31, 2017

Shelton is one of my dearest friends. She was my Bible study leader, College Life leader, and neighbor in college! We have walked through countless seasons together, celebrated so many fun moments, and prayed through some difficult times. I remember very clearly when she first started bringing Keegan's name up; he was a Young Life leader in Georgia and they had met at[...]

Rachel and Luca Bald Head Island Film Engagement Session

by Olivia Suriano in Engagements on August 25, 2017

The weekend before the Fourth of July I headed to Bald Head Island to photograph these two while they were there on vacation! When I arrived they pulled up in their golf cart and Rachel had a cute little scarf over her hair to protect it from the wind and humidity. I immediately thought this is a girl after my own heart! We drove along the island chatting and stopped [...]

Jessie and Mike Wilmington, NC Film Engagement Session

by Callie Davis in Engagements on August 11, 2017

You might not know this about me, but I went to the University of South Carolina my freshman year of college. After a year, I transferred to NC State to be closer to my family, and still to this day I keep in touch with a small handful of friends from USC, sweet Jessie being one of them! I will never forget the day that she called me and asked me to photograph her wed[...]

Sydney and Jamie Farm Film Engagement Session

by Nancy Ray in Engagements on July 28, 2017

When Sydney emailed me the address for their engagement session location, I had no idea it was going to be this beautiful. We even rescheduled the session at the last minute to take place in the morning instead of the afternoon since there was a storm in the forecast, and I couldn’t have asked for anything better. I pulled up to a family farm with a field of tall g[...]

Rachael and Jesse Raleigh, NC Film Engagement Session

by Nancy Ray in Engagements on July 26, 2017

When your bride is also an entrepreneur, there’s a special connection that happens! Not to mention the fact that we went to the same high school and grew up in the same city. Rachael is the owner of the Local Squirrel, the most adorable gift shop you’ve ever seen. She and her fiancé Jesse run the shop together, and goodness they are so adorable. He hangs the art and h[...]

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[...]
