June 4, 2010 Wedding : Raleigh Wedding Photographer

Carolina & Mike were married on June 4 at St Michael’s in Cary.
Carolina’s parents were our neighbors at our first house in Raleigh, so I was really happy when they called me about shooting Caro’s wedding. It was great catching up and spending time with them!

Here are a few of my favorite images from the day.

I love that you can see her dad looking on in this one.

During the ceremony, you could hear a storm approaching, thunder kept on getting louder and louder. After the ceremony, we did all the formals really fast, to try to get them done before the rain. We did it!
After formals, they were introduced and then it started pouring just as they were doing their first dance!
Love these storm clouds!

Dana - High School Senior

I am going to start posting some of my fall sessions as well as new sessions very soon! For now, wanted to share some from Dana’s fun senior session.
When she was younger Dana loved to climb trees and play in a creek close to her house, so we incorporated some of that into her session:)

Here are some of our favorites!

Last year I had the privilege of meeting and photographing some special families as part of the contest.

The first place winners were the Mastin family. Their son, Oliver ( Ollie) suffered from spinal muscular atrophy. This disease is invariably fatal and most infants have life spans of 18 months or less with 1 year being very common.

We met on a beautiful sunny afternoon and I was able to experience and capture the love between Ollie and his parents.

Sadly, Ollie passed away in August, just 2 days shy of his first birthday.

You can visit Ollie’s blog and learn more about the disease at:

Here are some images from Ollie’s session:

He had the most beautiful eyes and eye lashes!
