I had the sweetest time capturing a surprise proposal for Logan and Liz this spring! When Logan first reached out to me, he shared that they were casual people, and wanted the proposal to feel authentic and intimate. He knew Liz wouldn't want a lot of people around, and they frequently would go on walks around Lake Betz. He knew that doing the most normal and ordinary thing would be when she'd least expect a proposal…and he was totally right!

Logan and I scouted the location beforehand, and we planned where he’ll stand and where I’ll be. The goal was for me to stay far enough so they could enjoy the moment together privately. When the day came, I remember doing my best to blend among the bushes and reeds with a telephoto lens, and waiting for the special moment! When they made their way around the corner to the proposal spot, it was SO sweet to witness. Liz was completely surprised!

Afterward, they changed into a second outfit and we captured a couple more beautiful engagement photos around the lake. Congratulations again, Logan and Liz! Scroll down to see more sweet moments from their Lake Betz proposal and engagement session!

I had the honor of working with Emily and Justin recently for their engagement photos! They are such a sweet couple, and I thought it was awesome that they’re both dentists. I captured this special season of life for them at the beautiful Historic Yates Mill Pond Park in Raleigh. It was a SUPER windy and chilly day, but that didn’t stop us from having fun and capturing gorgeous photos!

We started off by doing photos at the iconic waterfall and mill. Because it was so windy, I had to pose them strategically so E’s hair wouldn’t fly over her face. I positioned them in a way that would help us work with the wind, versus against the wind (i.e., I had Emily facing towards the wind, and I placed their heads together to “hold” her hair down).

We then captured some photos by the awesome rustic log building. Not only did it help block the wind, but the sun was setting SO perfectly behind them! I also wanted to incorporate some symmetry and sun flares in the shots—and boy, I was thrilled with the results! We then ended the session capturing some beautiful candid shots of them in a small grassy field. See more stunning photos from this wonderful engagement session below!

I had the best time photographing engagement photos for Orlando and Jesse a few weeks ago! I was so excited when they told me they wanted to do an engagement session at their home, and capture some fun and authentic photos of them doing some of their favorite things! I remember they told me that they love to laugh together and enjoy food, art, and music. Thus, we incorporated some of their favorite things into the shoot to personalize their photography experience! We started off with them reading books in their bedroom, and then we captured some candid photos of them in their living room with their record player. We also had fun capturing some photos of them eating and drinking champagne, as well as taking a couple of beautiful portraits outside! The entire shoot was so fun from beginning to end, and documenting their love and connection was so special. Congrats again, Orlando and Jesse!
