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[...]

Caitlyn and John Raleigh, NC Film Engagement Session

by Nancy Ray in Engagements on July 14, 2017

I met Caitlyn and John and their sweet puppy Beasley at the lovely Meredith College, and it looked like it would storm any minute. After running into a field for some photos, we took cover when it began to sprinkle underneath the chapel. But thankfully, after a few minutes, everything cleared right up! It ended up being such a fun, lovely engagement session! Beasle[...]

Georgeanna and Lawrence Film Engagement Session

by Olivia Suriano in Engagements on July 3, 2017

Georgeanna and Lawrence may live on the other side of the country, in L.A. but they met and fell in love right around the corner from us at UNC. On their recent trip here to Raleigh for some wedding planning meetings, we met on an early morning and walked all around UNC's campus, capturing this season of engagement for them. These two are most definitely best friends,[...]

Kayla and Michael Durham, NC Film Engagement Session

by Callie Davis in Engagements on June 21, 2017

Kayla and Michael are some of the kindest people I have ever met. Upon just meeting me on Duke University's gorgeous campus, they were adamant about making sure that my car wasn't going to get a parking ticket and halfway through our session they even stopped to get some water for us because it was such a hot day. They made me feel so loved and cared for not only as t[...]

Katie and Josh Raleigh Film Engagement Session

by Nancy Ray in Engagements on May 29, 2017

It makes me allllll kinds of happy when a couple surprises me with their engagement location by picking something a little out of the ordinary! Katie explained there was this little hole in the wall place where she and Josh get drinks and spend time together every Sunday afternoon, and that was where they wanted to do photos. I was all for it! It was meaningful, diffe[...]

Nikki and Phil Downtown Raleigh Film Engagement Session

by Nancy Ray in Engagements on May 24, 2017

These two compliment each other PERFECTLY. Nikki is bubbly, fun, energetic, and full of life. She is straight up adorable - I wish you could hear her laugh and joke and poke fun at Phil, because she literally makes the world brighter. I kept thinking to myself - “I bet people love to have Nikki as their friend, because she can’t help but make life fun.” It’s just who [...]

Jamie and Scott Topsail Beach Film Engagement Session

by Nancy Ray in Engagements on May 17, 2017

I can already tell you it’s going to be difficult to express my love and excitement for these two! I’ll start with a little background… Sweet Jamie was our intern in 2014. She was the most patient, joyful, sweet spirited, hard working intern you could ask for. She blew us away with her willingness, her loyalty, and her servant’s heart, and her love for others. If y[...]
