Couple | Vanessa & Ryan

  Back in the spring I came across this blog post by Jackie Wonders.  I loved her use of the car-wash, and wanted to expand on that idea. So the idea of this shoot was born. I’d come up with the perfect “all American” couple in my mind… the perfect car, the perfect wardrobe…. I found the perfect couple and wardrobe, however I was hoping for a car like an el Camino, or K5 Blazer…. but I digress. Jeremy’s old Suburban worked fine, and gave us other photo ops the other 2 cars wouldn’t have…. and the dark green color was perfect. I want to pause a moment to say this is the kind of shoot I LOVE. The kind of shoot I live for. When we have so much creative freedom, and the people we’re shooting trust us 100%, good things happen.     Thank you guys so much for being great sports!!

Engagement: Andrea & Steven

Jeremy and I strolled through downtown Wilmington, on Friday evening of 4th of July weekend…. I was remembering all the wonderful times I had when I lived there, and didn’t realize how much I missed that atmosphere. As we walked around, we were also checking out some good spots to bring Andrea & Steven to…. We made our way down to the Cape Fear River Deck to meet them, and see exactly where they’d be getting married this September. We hoped and prayed these people would be fun and photogenic… we hit the jackpot. They were both, and well dressed for an engagement shoot! Andrea said their wedding colors would be navy, sage and a little orange (squee!) so we brought along a few props to include in some photos…. Steven- you make some priceless expressions…. silly-ness. A Favorite. Rawr. Andrea & Steven, thank you so much for being great sports, and hiking all over Wilmington! We are so excited to be part of your wedding day!!

Karen + Paul + Terra: Part III

After we left the beach, we hustled back to Karen & Paul’s apartment- Karen got busy straightening out her windblown wavy hair, while Paul went and got a haircut…. A HAIRCUT PEOPLE! And not only did he get a haircut…. but he went, got it, and returned all within 20 minutes!!! We headed downtown for some some sassy urban shots….. Karen informed me of what she’d picked out to wear for this part…. and when she said the hounds-tooth coat was lined in red…. well…. we just knew red shoes were a MUST! One day I’ll have a giant walk-in closet, and I’ll hang this photo in there… it makes me happy 🙂 The next photo was taken at the entrance to “The Liquid Room” …. if you’ve ever lived in Wilmington, you know how sketch this place is (even though I always managed to have a great time when going there….?). Who knew it had such a cool entrance!?! This one is a favorite for sure! These two are so fun… we love you two! …..PS: I edited these in the whee hours of Monday night… and have been on the road since…. chances are once I start really combing through all the photos we took…. I might add a few more 🙂
