sandy feet, sunshine, family, and duck donuts for breakfast.  who could ask for a better day at the beach?

there was so much love and laughter at sarah and nate’s pinehurst wedding.  there are lots of kissing pictures with this group….not just the bride and groom, but everyone!   i photographed sarah’s brothers wedding a few years ago, so it was like getting to work with family when i began working with sarah and nate last year at their loveshoot.  one of the best parts of my job is getting to know so many great people and building relationships that span the width of their family.  there were so many great moments with this crew that it was hard to narrow the photos down.  enjoy!  thanks to all of the wonderful vendors, k2 productions, the village chapel, pinehurst resort, and aldena frye floral design!

it has been such a joy to watch this family grow and lil’ riley is such a cutie pie!

the gorgeous green kids and i had so much fun during their downtown excursion!

blue skies and the cool sea breeze made bald head island the most perfect setting for taylor and jon to say i do.  it was preppy perfection!

so much energy and so much cuteness all in one body!

i love, love, love all of the bright colors and smiles going on in these photos.  this family has so much love in it!!

i had such a fun time with the mcdonald family capturing the warm + fuzzy and the sweet + funny moments  at their home and around their cute ‘hood!

and here is another flashback friday to yoonhie + robin’s gorgeous fall wedding at the angus barn in raleigh, nc!  very sweet couple + upbeat friends/family make for a perfect day!

it is flashback friday today… going back to that rainy day in november in the highlands of emily + jon’s beautiful wedding!
