Katelyn stepped out of the car wearing Lilly Pulitzer & Jack Rogers…. hello match made in bride-to-be/photographer heaven! The rain may have had us running in Myers Park, but when the water quit falling we were left with an empty, lush Freedom Park! 2016 will be here before you know it! View all the photos here!

The thought of eloping or just having a small, intimate wedding just really appeals to me. We had a decent size wedding, but I strongly considered having a tiny ceremony at my dads farm. There are so many spots in NC that I would absolutely love to photography an intimate ceremony (a mountain top- maybe Hanging Rock State Park, the OBX, ect.). While I think a grand gown can be perfectly stunning for any size wedding, I also love the thought of something incredibly simple. I love to peruse the Zara website, and this morning I spotted 3 simple (re-wear-able!) options for a small ceremony or even a courthouse wedding. Yes, I believe even if you tie the knot at the justice of the peace you should wear something beautiful and there should be great photographs. I do offer hourly coverage for small events like this 🙂 LEFT / MIDDLE / RIGHT ALL these are on sale for $35.99!!! Maybe splurge on a beautiful statement necklace, designer heels & organic bouquet

I got my film back from our mini vacation at Carolina Beach for the 4th of July and my mini road trip down the Outer Banks a week later. At the begining of the year I vowed that I would one and for all see Cape Hatteras this summer… to be honest, I’m embarrassed I’ve never been. So.. I spent the 2nd-6th at Carolina Beach, ventured to my day job summer camp in Columbia, NC (north-east, NC) and then decided I would drive back down via the Outer Banks to Carolina Beach again for the weekend. I knew it would be a long haul (9 hours instead of 3.5), but worth it. I will say driving Hwy 12 was surreal, beautiful, and nerve wracking. To be alone, on an island, hours from anyone you know was a little unsettling. I’m very glad I did it, but don’t think I’ll ever do it again, alone! These images are a mix of different locations along these 2 weeks, from Ocean Isle, up through Nags Head, I would LOVE to go back and shoot weddings in these places!! Prints of these images may be ordered here. *Special pricing!
