featured :: the red dirt bride :: winston-salem wedding photographer

I just loved photographing Becky and Ryan's September wedding in Winston-Salem, NC, and when it was featured on The Red Dirt Bride a couple of weeks ago, I was over the moon. These two are such a sweet, fun-loving couple, and you should definitely check out their feature here.

lucas+christina :: engaged :: winston-salem engagement photographer

I met Christina while in school at Belmont University, and though we were in the same sorority, it really wasn't until I moved away from Nashville and we shared a couple of mutual friends/roommates that I really got to know her. She's truly one of the most hilarious, honest, and loyal people I've ever met, and these days, I'm so blessed to call her one of my best friends.
 
She and Lucas met while in medical school at Wake Forest, and I am so excited and honored that I'll be photographing their wedding next fall at the absolutely beautiful Butterfly Gap Retreat in Maryville, TN. Lucas and Christina live in Alabama now, where they both work, but they made a quick trip back to Winston-Salem long enough to pose for engagement photos at Old Salem and for Josh and me to grab dinner and drinks with them at one of our mutual favorites, Southern Roots.
 
BUT, the real highlight of their visit was that I got to meet my puppy nephew, Bruno. Is he not just the cutest thing you've ever seen? And he's just as sweet as he looks. Without further ado, I give you, Christina, Lucas, and Bruno...

Christina+Lucas :: I'm so happy that you two found each other, and I can't wait to be part of your big day and your life together as Mr. and Mrs.! I'd say more here, except I fully expect to see you no less than 5 times between now and next October :) Love you both (but I love Bruno the most)!

chris+lisa :: married :: winston-salem wedding photographer

Chris and Lisa are the kind of people you just really want to be around. They're fun, laid back, and full of joy, and they both have this way of making you feel like you've known them forever. It's obvious that we aren't the only ones that feel that way... on their wedding day, they were surrounded by friends and family throughout the getting ready process and all the way through the evening's party celebrating their marriage with hugs, laughter, and libations.

Both of Chris and Lisa's families made us feel so incredibly welcome - less like hired vendors and more like one of their own. Getting the chance to work with people like them makes doing what we already love that much more exciting!

I love it when a couple doesn't take themselves too seriously, and Lisa and Chris DEFINITELY know how to ​have fun!

Lisa and her sister, Kristen, have such a special relationship with one another. They shared laughter, lots of hugs, and a couple of tearful moments throughout the day. Not only are they siblings, but they're the very best of friends ​- it meant so much to me to see the bond between these two girls and be able to capture them together.

Chris, Lisa, and their bridal party and families surprised the crowd during the introductions with their rendition of the Harlem Shake...​

The sweet moments between a father and a daughter during their dance together get me every. single. time.​

What a lucky guy! Lisa surprised Chris with season tickets for the Carolina Panthers stashed in her garter :)​

Chris and Lisa - Thank y'all so much for letting us be part of this special occasion and making us feel so welcome! Hope y'all are living it up during your last few days in Turks and Caicos, and we wish you all the best for a long and joyous life together!​
