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[...]

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[...]

Alex and David Raleigh, NC Film Engagement Session

by Callie Davis in Engagements on December 6, 2016

I first met Alex back in 2012. She was a bridesmaid in Erin and Jon's wedding that Nancy photographed and I was in training. Fast forward four years, and I received a sweet email from Alex reminding me of who she was and telling me that she was engaged and on the hunt for a wedding photographer. There is nothing that makes my heart happier than getting the chance to p[...]

Sara and Matt Lake Johnson, NC Film Engagement Session

by Callie Davis in Engagements on November 21, 2016

Sara and Matt's engagement session was different than any other engagement session I have ever done, simply because I got to relive their proposal with them, and it was so sweet. Matt proposed to Sara at one of her favorite places in Raleigh, Lake Johnson Park. As we walked around the lake taking their pictures, it dawned on me that we could walk the same trail and go[...]

Alex and Jack Film Engagement Session

by Callie Davis in Engagements on October 3, 2016

Each season, Alex and Jack put together a bucket list of things that they want to do together. Some are repeats of things that they love to do and some are new things to try together. How fun is that?! In the Spring, two things on their bucket list included a day trip to Charleston, SC and Asheville, NC. When Jack told Alex that they were going on a special day date t[...]

Lea and Kevin Raleigh, NC Film Engagement Session

by Nancy Ray in Engagements on July 22, 2016

I met Lea and Kevin at the lovely WRAL Azalea gardens, a secret hidden gem in Raleigh. Goodness I love this place, and the light that afternoon was just lovely. It is small and quaint, and has lovely little spots throughout the gardens which make it perfect for an engagement session. I always encourage my couples to choose a meaningful place for their engagement s[...]

Kathryn and Ryan Film Engagement Session

by Nancy Ray in Engagements on May 20, 2016

Every time I went running on the greenway behind my house, I dreamt about doing an engagement session back there, because the light and setting is so stunning. When I asked Kathryn if she and Ryan had any special places in mind for their engagement session, she simply said she wanted something natural and wooded to go along with the rustic feel of their wedding. She t[...]

Cassie and Brooks Film Engagement Session

by Olivia Suriano in Engagements on March 16, 2016

When I first met Cassie we were at a little coffee shop and we sat and chatted for what seemed like 5 minutes, but well exceeded her lunch break. She is kind, funny, and loves Brooks with her whole heart. We talked wedding details, proposal stories, and just engagement life in general. I walked away feeling like I had just met up with one of my dearest friends! Whe[...]

Ashley and Dirk Film Engagement Session

by Callie Davis in Engagements on December 17, 2015

I have been excited to share these images for quite some time now. Ashley and Dirk came to Raleigh for their engagement session back in September. We checked the weather, and although there was a chance of rain, it looked like it would only be quick, so we decided to go for it. After 30 minutes of the loveliest evening, out of now where it started pouring big heavy ra[...]

Emily and Bob Film Engagement Session

by Callie Davis in Engagements on December 3, 2015

Meet Emily and Bob, one of the kindest couples I know! From the moment that I first met sweet Emily, I knew that we would be the best match. She puts pictures at the utmost highest on her list of importance, and she has always loved capturing the precious moments in her life. I am truly honored to be capturing one of the most special weekends of their lives. Emily [...]
