Destination engagement session! I was excited to be driving up I-85 from Charlotte to Durham to meet Stephanie and Johnathan for an engagement session. They will be having what is sure to be a fantastic beach wedding later in the year, but on this day I met them at Sarah Duke Gardens to start the session. I love destination sessions and weddings and was looking forward to working with Stephanie and Johnathan and finding interesting places at the gardens to capture their connection. Stephanie had the great idea to bring along some painted letters that spelled “I DO” and that made for a cool shot! The weather was awesome for a February day and I could not believe the colors I was getting for this time of year. I think that Stephanie and Johnathan looked fantastic and their personalities shine through! They were great to work with and great in front of the camera. After spending some time at the gardens we moved on to the America Tobacco District for a little more “vintage” flair. I absolutely love some of the images that we captured while there, it was an awesome shoot! Here are some of my favs that I am excited to reveal, can’t wait for the bridal and wedding:
