To honor Dylan’s roots, Crystal + Dylan chose charming Pittsboro as the setting for their engagement session last month. I was familiar with a few wedding venues in the outskirts of the city, but hadn’t spent much time past there otherwise, so I had a blast scouting locations in advance and getting to know this adorable little city. We wandered from the scenic trails of the Lower Haw River State Park to colorful murals off small-town Hillsboro Street, ending at a gem of a field further south.

Crystal + Dylan, thanks so much for being adventurous and willing to cavort in a random field at magic hour! I always love shooting in new places and am grateful for your enthusiasm over finding a unique location for your session. This shoot was a memorable one for me, and I hope you had as much fun making new memories as I did! I’m pumped about photographing your celebration this fall. 🙂

Amy + Jason’s colorful backyard wedding exuded love and creativity.  A DIY bride, Amy created so many amazing details for her wedding—bright
quilted signs that exclaimed “Celebrate,” colorful place settings,
purple and green lanterns, and she even thrifted to find vintage china
for their reception. One thing I appreciated about this effervescent Carrboro couple is that they specifically
requested I bring a student shooter with me to cover their wedding.  Both scholars and professors, Amy and Jason wanted their
wedding day to be an extension of their love for teaching. So I brought
my fabulous UNC student intern, Maria Van Aalst,
with me to shoot their wedding.  This was Maria’s second wedding, and
she told me afterwards that the bar had been set high for her.  “Are all
couples this creative and fun?” she asked. This wedding will stand out in both of our minds because of this couple’s fabulous personality.
