How cute is Elizabeth? She contacted me a few months ago about their Oak Island wedding next June. Dan and Elizabeth live in Chicago, but her family has vacationed at Oak Island for years, and it’s become a second home for her. From the early planning ideas, I can say that this wedding will be incredible – casual, elegant, and filled with meaning.

I’m really excited to get these two back in front of the camera next year. They’re absolutely adorable, funny, and so easy to get along with.

All this travel has taken its toll on my poor blog. I have had the worst time trying to find an hour here, two hours there just to get some new entries out for you. I’m still in a time crunch, heading out for another very long distance wedding this weekend and trying to get caught up on the few that are in the queue for editing, but I thought I would take a quick breather and show two images from each wedding and engagement that I’ve shot over the last 6 weeks…

I’ll be posting full-length blog entries on each of these sessions and events … in August. Yeah. I think August will be a little calmer!

first up! Mary Lee and Dave were married over Memorial Day weekend in Yakima, WA. It was gorgeous, and I finally got to shoot a bride and groom in a wheat field!

Stephanie and Anthony were married in the resort town of Duck, in the Outer Banks of North Carolina

Shilpa + Sunil were married at the Marriott Hotel in downtown Richmond, VA just a couple weeks ago…

Then I shot Whitney + Alex’s real engagement session at Wrightsville Beach:

I met Maggie and Matt in downtown Wilmington for their engagement session, and then we went and had a couple pints at one of my favorite Wilmington pubs, Cape Fear Wine and Beer.

Ashley and Harold had the sweetest, most romantic wedding in Greenville, VA – a tiny mountain town nestled between Roanoke and Staunton. So, so sweet.

And, finally, right after shooting Ashley and Harold’s wedding in Greenville, I drove about 45 minutes to Crozet VA (near Charlottesville) and met Loren and Adam at their house in the middle of nowhere. I’m apparently the first person to actually find their house the first time without a GPS, and without getting lost. Yeah, that’s right. I’m a walking GPS.

This is another couple that made me drink beer with them. It’s a terribly tough job.

This was just a quick session to grab images for their Save the Date cards. The “real” engagement session is coming up in the next few days!

This was one of the best engagement sessions ever. Lesley and Jon are laid back, funny, and completely irreverent – my kinda people!!! Michael and I had such a great time working with them! We can’t wait for your wedding!

I dunno. They’re almost too freaking good looking, don’t you think?

They’re also fun, energetic, and have fantastic wit. AND they’re getting married in Wilmington. I’m not kidding, I actually get to shoot a wedding within 100 miles of my house!!! It’s kind of weird, I’ll probably drive to Raleigh and back the morning of their wedding for old time’s sake.

They don’t get married until October 18th, so I have to sit on my hands and wait to post her kickass bridal session until then. I hate that.

Here, take a look at these two kids and try not to be jealous.

some people seem to be on this earth just to remind you that life really isn’t fair.

Jesica and Brad were married December 30th, 2007 in a castle in Angiers, NC! Their wedding post is coming soon!!!
