I was honored to be a part of this glorious day and take photos and video of two of my really good (and stunning) friends! Styled shoots are a great way to practice shooting products, posing, and trying out new techniques since we're not under as much pressure. I love that I could give back all my photos to help out everyone that contributed to this day and I've loved seeing them posted on social media! All the details came together and we were able to capture all the hard and incredible work of these talented vendors:

Mahnaz and Koushyar are so amazing! They are international students studying at UNC's prestigious business school.  We first met about 3 years ago through friends of friends. And I'm so happy we did. They celebration every wedding anniversary with photos! So this is the 3rd time I've had the honor of capturing their every growing love. 

HERE is the second time I took their pictures at the JC Raulston Arboretum. 

But today, we chased the setting sun at Merritt's Pasture and went hunting for fall colors. It was so hard to pick my favorites! So enjoy these! My heart is so full. 

A friend I played soccer with growing up gifted her friends with a photo shoot as a wedding gift. Lizzie and Blake took a long lunch break and eloped a while back, and today we got to celebrate their with their adorable puppy! Such a sweet idea :) We ventured to Merritt's Pasture and I loved exploring the meadow and trees with this incredible couple with this photogenic family of three :D

Mahnaz and Koushyar are two incredible people. I was so honored to take photos of them for the second time! We ventured to the JC Raulston Arboretum and celebrated their 2nd anniversary and took as many photos as possible before a hail storm hit us! I love how natural they were in front of the camera and how they commemorate every summer with memories.
