shane+jess :: engaged :: greensboro engagement photographer

I think it's safe to say that I've never met a couple who lead more parallel lives than Shane and Jessica. They both call Penn State their alma mater (We Are...), are both finishing up their MBAs at Elon University, and they even work at the same place. And if two people can be around each other that often, share so much in common, and still stay at least halfway sane, they're destined to be together in my book.

Josh and I met Shane and Jess through some mutual friends not long after we moved to Greensboro and have enjoyed many a Superbowl party and crawfish boil with them, so we were honored when they asked us to photograph their wedding next September at Winston Salem's Millennium Center.​

Before strolling through downtown, we kicked off their engagement session at Bin 33, where Christina so graciously let us take over the bars for a few moments. Restaurants aren't your typical venue for engagement photos, but I just love the character they offer.​..

Could y'all look any more amazing?! You two look like you are straight out of a magazine.​

We wrapped up the session in the historic Fisher Park just before nightfall for a few shots with more greenery. These were some of my favorites of the day...

claire+spence :: engaged :: nashville engagement photographer

In honor of this pretty lady's birthday today, I am thrilled to post this sweet engagement session from the weekend (HAPPY BIRTHDAY CLAIRE!!!). This past Sunday, after a 12-hour day of photographing the lovely wedding of Kristin+Read, I got up bright and early just as the sun was rising to drive to Franklin to photograph this precious couple. For those of you who know me well, you know that super early mornings are definitely not my thing, so Claire+Spence - you two should feel extra loved :)​

I met Claire a couple of years ago through my friend Kaley, and since then, she has become one of my dearest friends. She's kind, funny, and one of the most GORGEOUS people I know (personally, I think she could pass for Olivia Wilde), and she and her fiancé Spence together are so much fun to be around and just way too adorable ​for words. They'll be getting married next winter at aVenue in downtown Nashville, and I am just giddy with anticipation for their wedding.

Fueled by delirium and Starbucks, we started our session in downtown Franklin. I've always loved this area on the outskirts of Nashville... it's just so cute and quaint.​

Isn't she BEAUTIFUL??!! Seriously Claire, I can't even imagine how jaw-dropping you're going to be in a wedding dress.​

After we wrapped up downtown, we headed out to the little  town of Leiper's Fork ​for a country feel and some fence climbing. I was mildly obsessed with having the General Lee lookalike in the background there...

Everyone be sure to leave Claire some birthday love!!!​
