Meet Leslie and Mark! They are two fun and adorable people planning their wedding in VA next year at Leslie’s grandmother’s farm (which sounds totally sweet). We shot their engagement session in Raleigh near Hayes Barton Cafe where they went on their first date, and the night he proposed, and probably again after our engagement session since it seems like they’re kind of addicted to cake. We walked around and talked about their upcoming wedding and honeymoon (to Ireland where they can avoid getting sunburned). They’re the goofy, fun, upbeat kind of people and we had a great time wandering around parking lots and alleyways with them while they did handstands and threw leaves at each other. We know their wedding in Virginia next year will be awesome, much like them. :)
Meet Katie and Cameron! They are one of our June 2012 couples and we couldn’t be happier to have them. :) It took a while to schedule this session – Katie is in rotation for podiatry school in Iowa and is in a different state every couple of months, but their parents both reside in Raleigh and eventually they made it home! They’ve both been together a very long time and it took even longer for Cameron to pop the question since Katie was was tired and repeatedly turned out his requests to get out of the house with him. ;) Baahaha (this, by the way, is a story we’ve heard before. So couples, if your partner is repeatedly insisting that you get up and go somewhere with them, you might want to consider it).
They’re such a sweet couple and we had a good old time traversing a few neighborhood parks avoiding poison ivy here and snakes there. While Katie’s tuxedo cat wasn’t able to make the shoot, we still made the best of it. ;) Here are a few of my favorites!
