We meet Akua at a wedding we recently shot and she was gracious enough to ask us to take her engagement photographs with her fiance, Mitch.  These two are a blast! We braved the good ol’ southern heat and humidity at Duke Gardens in Durham, NC on a Tuesday evening where we were the only ones crazy enough to actually be outside. Our associate photographer, Krista of KM Photography, helped me with lighting and contributed to the images you see below.

Congrats Akua and Mitch! You guys are awesome!

Kat and Andre are such a fun couple! They were so easy to photograph with their fun personalities and love for each other. We took loads of pictures in quite a few different locations in downtown Durham, where we had cooler than normal weather and a nice breeze blowing. Sadly, we won’t be able to photograph their wedding, but were certainly blessed to have had the opportunity to photograph their engagement! Thanks Kat and Andre!

Ricky & Meredith… what can we say about these two? First off, they are awesome to work with. As photography lovers, they had a good idea of what they wanted and were great models for the camera. We even gave them our cameras and let them take pictures of each other. Sarah and I had a long double wedding weekend and topped it of with their engagement session which turned out to be a beautiful day with a great couple, even if we did break a sweat in the summer sun.

We started out at Yates Mill County Park and ended up at NCSU campus in Raleigh, NC.

Don’t they look amazing together!?! We can’t wait to photograph their wedding!

Sarah and I were lucky enough to be hired by Sonia and Ray as their wedding photographers. Sonia teaches math at the same school as I. As most of you know, we have high regard for teachers and hope we can serve Sonia and Ray with the best. We decided to take their engagement pictures at the always beautiful Duke Gardens and even with the threat of rain, and the occasional drizzle, we managed to have a great time. They are a wonderfully happy couple who are blast to work with. Sarah and I couldn’t be more excited for their wedding!

What can we say… these two are a blast! When the weather decided to present us with stormy weather, we decided to make the best of it and Janene & Tremaine were all for it. We had a great evening with a little rain at the beginning, but it held off and gave us some pretty awesome clouds to work with. This is the first shoot we’ve had inside the Tobacco District in downtown Durham, and  I have to say, its a great place for them. A great venue with an even greater couple make for easy picture taking! Janene and Tremaine know how to work the camera when they’re together!

Sarah and I are excited for their wedding this September and are grateful to have such amazing clients! Thanks guys!

Stacie and Brian are an amazing couple to photograph! Seriously, you couldn’t ask for better subjects. They didn’t complain(even though it was freezing), had amazing smiles, and are just plain fun to be around! We decided to take their engagement pictures in downtown Durham to get a more urban feel and so they could bring their two dogs. We had a blast even though we about froze.

Excited to shoot their wedding?… Heck yeah!
