I am so excited because this weekend is jammed pack with Amanda & Jason activities! We got together a couple of weeks ago on an incredibly hot evening and captured some images of them being all cute & sweet together! They are so funny - which I’m sure you’ll be able to see in their images. They told me that they like old-fashioned things, old barns & the country. So, some spots came right to my mind immediately for them!
So, on to the cuteness! Youngsville screams old fashioned to me
Beautiful!
This shot makes me want to throw my head back & laugh!!! (and no - I did not ask her to do this!)
Close talking
An end to the close talking
You want barns?! You got it!
I love to stalk.
Amanda has this thing where if you poke her cheek it makes her smile! hahaha! She’s just toooo friggin’ cute!
I’m so excited to capture your rehearsal dinner & Wedding this weekend you two!

On May 29th I had the extreme pleasure of photographing Alan & Amanda’s wedding at Haywood Hall in downtown Raleigh. These two are just so wonderful & so beautiful together. They are beautiful people but there’s also an incredible serenity that rests on them that drew me in. They had so many special things about their big day… and you will see a couple of them. They mingled in very important items & people & it was just a really gorgeous day! I also love that these two pay very little attention to me when I photograph them - haha.. but they are so focused on one another it makes their images delicious. If you haven’t, you should check out some of their engagement images in my engagement gallery!
I love how vintage is making a HUGE comeback
Alan actually hand made pocket squares for his fellas
Meanwhile Amanda found beautiful old pieces of jewelry to give her ladies and cuff links for her man of honor
Amanda bought a brick for Alan at Haywood Hall to remember this big day in their lives - Awwwww!
Can you tell this was an awesome crowd?!
I love that Amanda wanted to re-create her grandmother’s bridal portrait

Amanda grabbed this awesome shot of the crew walking into the ceremony
Poor Alan had the sun blazing directly into his face… but I’m really not even sure he noticed
I LOVE big trees! Ah! I love ‘em! And her cocktail party was canopied by this fabulous tree!
Their first dance was AWESOME!
More fancy dress twirling dancing & such

On May 22nd me & my good friend Beth took a trip down to Wilmington to photograph Kelly Ann & Brent’s wedding at Shell Island. We knew it was going to be some good times, but wow - it went beyond our expectations! Not only was it drop dead beautiful with perfect weather, it was A LOT of fun! They had their ceremony on the beach, which was awesome. And then we went inside the Shell Island Resort ballroom for the reception. These two are just so beautiful - they aren’t hard to look at at all, but also they are so precious. Their families are wonderful & it was just so touching to be around all of them. So - Thank You Whapham’s for allowing me to be a part of this new beginning in your lives! I had such a great time!
If you want to see the slideshow with more images of their wedding, go to: Whapham Slideshow
So to start it all off… a little gift from Brent and Kelly Ann got exactly what she wanted - a little David Yurman treat! I loved this moment of her hoping that he picked up on her hints.
What a beautiful lady
I think Brent got exactly what he wanted for his present too..
The excitement just could not be contained
How gorgeous is this?!
And how funny is this?! I guess that’s what you get with a beach wedding! Good scenery
Beth got this awesome shot of Kelly Ann walking down & I think it’s cool that even beach goers stopped to watch her
When the preacher says “I’d like to present” & there’s always a sense of “WOAH” - some confusion & excitement all at once
How gorgeous are these two?!
I’m a sucker for a silly face
First dance
Kelly Ann’s sister made everyone in the room cry - including me. It was the best speech EVER.
Some fun times..
And some more fun times!!
