Erika and Richard's Military Wedding / Durham NC Wedding Photography

Erika and Richard were certainly fun to work with. I met Erika last year through a previous client. I knew from the start this wedding was going to be great. Richard is a US Marine so I was honored to be apart of their day. They were married at the beautiful Sarah P. Duke Gardens here in Durham NC. I loved that she use Hot Pink Roses as her flowers they are one of my favorites. The wedding party was so beautiful. The cake was amazing. The wedding party and Bride and Groom were announced into the reception to the song... Welcome to the Jungle by Guns n Roses which was so much fun!! Here a quite a few of my favorite from Erika and Richard's special day..


I love the retro feel here..









HOT PINK SHOES!!!!

Chrissy and Blair / Durham NC Wedding Photographer

This weekend I had the pleasure of second shooting a wedding with another wedding photographer... Allison Davis with www.sandfootphotography.com

It was the first time I have ever actually second shot a wedding and it was so fun. I got to take all these great pictures with different angles and not having the pressure that I normally have when shooting a wedding. Being a primary Wedding Photographer you have a million thoughts going on at one time.. Don't forget this and that, you want to make sure you get ever shot needed because you can't really re do weddings if you know what I mean. BUT with me being a second shooter this weekend I was able to pretty much just be free with my photography not have all those worries. Not to mention Allison is a sweetheart and such a fun girl to work with.

Chrissy and Blair's wedding was so beautiful. The dress was amazing!!! And I loved that all the gentleman wore chocolate brown I loved it. You could really just see that look in his eyes when she entered to room. It was so romantic.

Amber Maternity Shoot / Durham NC Maternity Photographer

Aw, I loved doing this shoot. It's a different kind of feeling when you photograph all the different stages of life. I met Amber through a mutual friend.. I was then ask to photographer Amber and Joey's Engagement pictures, then their wedding, and now... they're Maternity pictures and soon I can't wait to photograph their precious little one when he arrives.

Here is just a couple of my favorites from her shoot. More to come soon.

Margarette and Tommy's Wedding Album / Durham NC Wedding Photographer

Just finished up Designing a Wedding Album for Margarette and Tommy and I just love it. This album is actually a 40 page album but I just wanted to share of my favorites. I love to use use lots of colors and foliage in my books I believe it gives it character and really makes the pictures pop. I hope you like what you see.
