  We enjoyed photographing these two love birds, Brian and Tosha, for their engagement session. We photographed them not too far from where Brian went to high school; we attended Enloe high school together and were very competitive as we played basketball after school.  Since our high school years we have stayed in touch and he eventually met […]

We were honored to photograph Katie & Jon, newlyweds, in Downtown Raleigh. This lovely couple, recently married in late March, had some minor complications on their wedding day.  Katie & Jon’s original photographer made a scheduling error and mixed up the wedding date.  There is a saying that good friends come through for you when […]
