Faye+Sean // Downtown Cary Elopement

Faye and Sean are two adorably lovey humans who decided on a courthouse wedding, but then kinda morphed it overtime into a gorgeous little elopement at the Mayton Inn in downtown Cary. The first time it was cancelled due to Hurricane Florence, but their rain date ended up being sunny and warm. We met them at the Mayton Inn where they had a first look, and wanted some pictures inside and outside the hotel before their ceremony. Faye and Sean are both energetic and smiley, and they have the hobbies to match. Faye volunteers at the Duke Lemur Center and loves dinosaurs, unicorns, and their two cats. She also loves Sean, who she calls her own personal superman. Sean is hilarious, good humored, and was happy to participate in all cuddling. Their wedding ceremony was held inside the Mayton Inn, and then their reception involved a lovely dinner on the porch at dusk. Their cake which was adorned by two fearsome yet adorable plastic dinosaurs donned in a top hat and veil, made by Faye’s mother. We wish these two nothing but the best, and we hope they enjoy their honeymoon in Mexico!

Cat+Mitchell+Cameron // Greensboro Family Photographer

WE LOVE THIS FAMILY. They eat burgers with us and see Weezer with us and talk with us about friend things and are friends. Cat and Mitchell have been with us for a long time (5 times!), and Cameron has now been with us two times! Together, they all have the best colors of Converse shoes. Cat and Mitchell always have impeccable taste in glasses, and while Cameron isn’t there yet, I fully expect a super cool pair on him at some point in the future, even if they’re fake. Anyway – this year we took their family pictures at the Greensboro Science Center, which was gracious enough to grant us permission for a documentary-style family session there. We followed them through all their favorite exhibits: penguins, sting rays, giant aquarium with a shark who was really good at following photo cues, and a 2001 Space Odyssey style hallway that contained a singular ad for Big Bird which, from what we can tell, is one of Cameron’s favorite parts of the museum. We saw a red panda who defiantly turned away from me once I started clenching my teeth and talking to him in a high-pitched voice about his cuteness. We walked through some colored smoke that made Cameron look like a toddler-God. We took pictures with dinos and green screens and prisms. Then we ate garlic fries and all was right with the world. We’re happy to take pictures and explore with these guys, and so happy to call them our friends.
