Kelly and Chase: Sneak Peek
Congratulations to Kelly and Chase who were married yesterday at Prestonwood Country Club in Cary, NC. Kelly and Chase chose to see each other before the wedding (which I love) so that Kelly could give Chase a very special wedding gift and then have plenty of time for photography. I couldn't resist posting this shot of Chase's reaction when he turned around to see Kelly for the first time. I always feel so privileged to be able to witness these moments. I had my long lens on so I couldn't hear anything they were saying to each other, but their expressions in this series of photos are priceless...I can't wait to post more!
I decided to also post this one rather than a more traditional portrait because I love how focused they are on each other.
Their wedding was perfect...simple, elegant and intimate. A first-rate celebration followed in the Main Clubhouse with the couple surrounded by family and friends from NC State and beyond. The only thing that marred the day? NC State's brutal loss to Duke in football!
Kelly and Chase, thank you for allowing us to share this day with you. Have fun in Mexico!
Lauren and Andrew
I've said it before, but I really love engagement sessions. It's one of my favorite parts of the whole process. It's such a great time for the couple to see how I work and hopefully get comfortable behind the camera. Lauren and Andrew were such fun and so gorgeous! They are set to marry on March 8, 2008 but wanted to go ahead and do their engagement photos this summer, a really great idea, especially if you're planning to do "save the date" cards. They met Frank and me on a hot Sunday afternoon at the Sarah P. Duke Gardens in Durham. Lauren's mom came along and Andrew's parents did, too. They were all such good sports about being dragged all around the gardens in the 96 degree heat! I'm really happy with their images and am looking forward to Lauren's bridal portrait later in the Fall, then the wedding in March. Click here to see their slideshow.
