ENGAGED // JENA & JOSH // CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA

To say that I loved working with these guys is an understatement. The minute I met Jena, I knew I wanted to work with her. Actually, no. Scratch that. The minute I got her EMAIL I knew I wanted to work with her.

We had so much fun at Smelly Cat (in NoDa, of course - go try their Coconut Frapp, it's delicious!) and then just walking around that area to find some hidden alleys and beautiful diffused morning light. We found both.

If you can't tell by the abundance of laughs, dreamy little moments and huge smiles, these two are incredible together. I had so much fun shooting these, just laughing and making fun of ourselves. I normally don't post this many of the "same" kind of picture, but their love is absolutely beautiful.

Can't wait for their wedding in a couple of weeks! It's bound to be epic.

PERSONAL PORTRAITS // HALES

Here are things that Haley is: a) kind. b) a babe. c) hilarious. d) a loyal friend. e) gentle-hearted. f) a fierce lover of Jesus. g) an incredible photographer. (linked, go check it out)

To say that I love this lady is a vast understatement. She's been a pillar of strength for me to call on whenever I needed her. She's a giant encouragement whenever I need some scripture to remind me of the plans that God has for me. She's giddy and filled with this child-like passion for Jesus that I've never seen.

We had some fun a couple of months ago and just went out and made some pictures.

Meet Hales.

ENGAGED // JESS & JUSTIN // CONCORD, NORTH CAROLINA

When I first sat down with Jess, I knew I loved her. She's so sassy, but kind of quiet about it. And Justin is hilarious and I can definitely tell they have so much fun together. After stalking her instagram, I realized that they seem to go exploring as a couple pretty often. After asking her about this and having her verify that it's one of their "things"- she told me she found abandoned buildings to shoot their engagement pictures in! I was totally down. Unfortunately, we lost the light because of race traffic (boo!) - but I can't wait until their wedding day in October to get some more beautiful shots of this great couple!! These two are AWESOME.
