a great day, lots of cool locations, a perfect wardrobe, an awesome couple and one stellar mustache made for a fun loveshoot!

the quaint celebrity dairy inn was the perfect setting for brooke and mark’s sweet and romantic loveshoot.  the farm, the golden light, the vintage quilt…..i love it!

it was HOT up on the high line in NYC, but it was a great place to meet ami + jay for their loveshoot.  i love their love story.  ami told a friend to find her a nice indian boy to marry and years later that friend did!  she introduced ami and jay and now they are planning a big indian wedding next summer.  sometimes you just have to put your wishes out there and they have a way of coming true.

carrie and greg are an awesome couple.  i know their new years eve wedding is going to be a super fun way to ring in 2012!

i love this shot!

I LOVE this session!!

east carolina university and downtown greenville are so pretty!  we had a lovely fall day for beth and taylor’s loveshoot at the school where it all began….

I had a great time sweating it out with Ruby & Rob in DC and Maryland!  We got up early to beat the crowds to the monuments only to discover that the reflecting pool is completely torn up.  Who knew… I guess they’re renovating?  We hung out at the Washington Monument (pre- earthquake crack) and wondered why none of the hot dog vendors were open at 9 am (Ruby wanted a hot dog).  I learned a new word that will be added to my vocabulary… Hangry.  It’s when you’re hungry, so you get angry… as in “Honey, did I do something wrong or are you just hangry?  Great word, right?

We were all on the verge of getting a little hangry, so we hopped back on the Metro and were entertained by the most interesting (ie-crazy) guy ever.  He wasn’t really crazy…well, maybe… but he did proceed to talk in one run-on sentence for the next twenty minutes non-stop.  We learned about carbon, and meta-physics, and religion and that everyone in DC has a cousin in NC.. all with a Caribbean accent.  Needless to say, our Metro trip flew by and we were off to lunch and our second location, Glen Echo Park.

The park was a little less eventful.. unless you count the lady who caused a scene getting kicked off the carousel for not paying her $1.25 … don’t mess with the carousel guy, he means business!  On to the pictures!

anne was a bridesmaid at one of the most creative and crafty weddings that we have ever photographed a few years ago.  it was so much fun getting to meet her fiance and shooting their loveshoot on one of their trips to nc.  anne and matt had just started dating when we first met her.  now they are going to be tying the knot on a mountaintop in colorado.  : )

i can’t wait to photograph rachel and chris’ wedding next year.  with beautiful peacocks as inspiration and a lovely coastal town as the setting, mixed with a super fun and laid back couple, i am sure it is going to be amazing!

here is a little blip of sunshine on this overcast and gloomy day.

amanda + evan are super sweet, super cute, and super smart.  both of them are preparing for their residency!

we met up in evan’s hometown of pinehurst.  what a beautiful place to spend the afternoon!
