Adrian + Ashley Wedding/The Islander Suites/Emerald Isle NC Wedding Photographer

I can't even begin to describe the wonderful experience of Adrian and Ashley's wedding. Everyone was so sweet, the wedding was beautiful, the bride gorgeous, the groom smiling ear to ear. All in all it was an amazing wedding. I'm so glad that Kali let me shoot this wedding with her. As you can see in the photos the true love that Adrian and Ashley have for each other. While getting ready Ashley was all smiles and after the wedding they both couldn't keep their eyes off each other. I love "love"! Thank you again to Adrian and Ashley for letting me be a part of your wonderful day. I wish you a very happy marriage and many many wonderful years together!

Loving me some B/ Family Photographer/Jacksonville NC

So a lot of photographers photograph their children for practice or to check out a new spot. Well.. I my baby is  my golden retriever Carly. She is great at modeling but not so well for checking out new spots. This is where using your friend's children can come in. I asked my friend Kari if I could use her son who is the same age as a little boy that I will be using the location for if I could use "B" as a model to see if the spot works. (I highly suggest this before trying a new place)  Of course she said yes becuase what friend wouldn't? It helps that her little boy is use to his mommy taking photos of him becuase she is a photog too! (Sunshine Photography ) plus he is adorable as you can see & he is such a personality!

Military Themed Mini Sessions/Jacksonville NC

It seems to have become more popular to do old school "military themed" photo shoots. I did one the other day & I absolutely loved it. Not only because the family I worked with was awesome but there is just something about what the photos say. I am a proud military wife and maybe that is why I have a special place in my heart for other military families, everyone is in a different place , everyone has their own stories to tell and they all serve this country. I got a lot of responses back from the shoot so I decided to do  "Military Themed Mini Sessions"  I'm excited and can't wait!

Thanks to an awesome & sweet photographer, Kali from ( Kali Metzger Photography)
 I got to capture some great images of this beautiful couple. Kali asked me if I wanted to being a "second shooter" at Ashley & Adrian's wedding and of course I said YES! I'm pretty sure I didn't even think about it. I have been looking for the experience and so glad that Kali is letting me work with her. I can't wait for their wedding! 1.) They are gorgeous! 2.) It's is on THE BEACH! 3.) They have some creative ideas for the wedding 4.) They are a FUN couple!

We met up with them on the spot their wedding will be held and took the opportunity to take some shots of them. This let them warm up to us and for us to scope out lighting etc.   I enjoyed working with them and with Kali. I am looking forward to their wedding. Now...here is some images of the gorgeous couple & even one of Kali( at the bottom)You can just see the LOVE between them! Thanks so much Ashley & Adrian for letting us be a part of your day & Kali for letting me share this experience with you.
