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[...]

Kelsey and Tom Durham NC Film Engagement Session

by Callie Davis in Engagements on May 10, 2017

Kelsey grew up in Durham and Tom spent his college years in Durham while attending Duke, but they didn't cross paths until after college when they were both living in DC. They meet through mutual friends and who knew that Durham would be the common thread between the two? These two love the city of Durham, and when I say love, I mean really love Durham. They'll be get[...]

Amanda and Eric Film Engagement Session

by Callie Davis in Engagements on April 12, 2017

When I first talked with Amanda about her engagement session, she only had one request: that big, magical trees were incorporated in their session. She said, "It might sound silly, but that's just always how I have pictured it." If you ask me, that doesn't sound silly at all! Amanda and Eric live in Florida, so it was up to me to find the perfect location with tons of[...]

Toni and Patrick Film Engagement Session

by Callie Davis in Engagements on March 29, 2017

I am so excited for y'all to meet Toni and Patrick today! These two are the kind of couple that you instantly feel like you've known your whole life. As I hope you will learn from these images, they are full of so much joy. They love the Lord above all else and have dedicated their lives to working for ministry that has truly changes their lives. Just from the short a[...]

Forrest and Camilo Chapel Hill Film Engagement Session

by Callie Davis in Engagements on February 24, 2017

I met Forrest and Camilo on a breezy, Winter afternoon at their wedding venue, The Carolina Inn in Chapel Hill. As we walked around the property with their sweet dog, Sailor - don't you love her sweet blue collar that says "Happily ever after"?!, I loved to hear about all the things that they are looking forward to about their wedding day. It was quickly clear to me t[...]

Kristyn and Shane Film Engagement Session

by Nancy Ray in Engagements on February 22, 2017

The timing for this session worked out just perfectly! I was wrapping up filming for my new online course that will be launching this year: How to Shoot in Film, and I needed some lovely models to not only model for my camera, but also be the models for my course footage! When Kristyn and Shane said they were up for it, I got so excited. This couple is clearly beautif[...]

Joelle and Justin Film Engagement Session

by Nancy Ray in Engagements on February 8, 2017

It was my very last session of 2016, and I met Joelle and Justin on the beautiful campus of UNC in Chapel Hill. Joelle looked so beautiful I immediately asked her where she had her hair and make up done, and I was so impressed when she said she did it all herself! They both were so natural in front of the camera, we had a great time in the crisp, chilly air. Here'[...]
