Winston Salem Wedding photography: Tina & Derek

On Saturday, we joined Tina and Derek for their September nuptials. It was a beautiful day, and the temperatures finally dipped below 90! Everyone was in great spirits and we felt like part of the family. Truth be told, we've photographed this family before... Tina's brother John got married 3 years ago and we were there for that bash, too (click here for a flashback!)  Here are some of the highlights from Tina and Derek's event - be sure to leave the happy couple some love!

Destination Weddings, Lake Michigan: Leslie & Scott

While it was a Labor Day weekend for most, Jonathan was on the job! He traveled to Northern Michigan to photograph Leslie and Scott's lakeside wedding weekend. After arriving to rain and temps in the 50's, it cleared up nice and warm for Sunday's big event at Camp Leelenau. Here are a few of our favorites... hope you guys are enjoying Croatia!

The day of the wedding was absolutely gorgeous...

Greensboro Senior session: Stephanie & Alison

In the midst of a very full wedding season, we were called on to photograph two adorable sisters, Stephanie and Alison. These two are so fun and were naturals in front of the camera. We rocked out downtown Greensboro right before some hardcore rain, but we made it without a drop! Here are some of the highlights from the session! Enjoy!

Chapel Hill engagement session - Emily and Chris

Have you ever been working at your job for what feels like twenty minutes, and then you realize it's been three hours? Well that's what happened at Emily and Chris' engagement shoot on the campus of their beloved Alma mater, UNC. These guys were just so easy to photograph, and they were full of ideas (we like that!). And to top it off, when we finished at 8pm, they picked up the tab at their favorite Mexican place... Gracias! Enjoy some of our favorites...
