North Carolinians in Miami | Crandon Beach LoveChelsea and Tuck are from my home state, North Carolina. And, in fact only live a few minutes from our hometown Raleigh! Chelsea is a fellow wedding photographer in the Triangle and her wife is a police officer in Cary. We met through a mutual photographer friend and I couldn't have been more excited to document these two love birds! I always love photographing fellow artists because we speak the same language! We talked business and I got to hear some amazing stories from brave Tuck. These two are really just so special and give so much to their community! They were in town on a photography job and decided to make a vacation out of it! They love the beach and palm trees so this hidden beach key was the perfect spot! They eloped in the Dominican Republican surrounded by palm trees and the water, so how perfect to relive that and celebrate their love! Thank you both for such a beautiful afternoon chasing seagulls and frolicking through the ocean with me!

Board Games, Coffee, & Sunset Beach Engagement PhotosRita & Ezequiel's in home engagement was a dream! I love when couples want their genuine selves celebrated and documented. They love spending days cozied up at home playing all sorts of games! They broke out the coolest looking Harry Potter board game and with Aria curled up at their sides. It was almost Christmas so the twinkle lights added a bit of magic to their living room as a map of the Lord of Rings world hung in the background. We then made our way to their proposal spot on South Beach and caught sunset and watched the cruise ships leave on Miami Beach. What also made this day special was having my friend Jordan Baum film this beautiful day! Scroll to the bottom to see her masterpiece and hear R+E tell their love story and watch the day unfold! I can't wait to celebrate their wedding day and loved this beautiful, homey, magial engagement!!

Miami Beach | Sunset Wine & Cheese Beach PicnicChris and Paul found me in The Knot's magazine while waiting to walk through a wedding venue. I was, and still am, SO touched and humbled that they loved my photos enough to reach out! They met in NYC and in the massive city, ended up only living around the corner from each other! They moved to South Florida recently and are loving the warm weather life! I so loved walking around this gorgeous park with them and getting to know them and their story. We then headed to the beach for a wine and cheese picnic where they helped me talk through different job opportunities Drew and I were faced with. Instant friends! They're both so caring, and is clear that they're the kind of people who worry, in a good way, and care for their loved ones fully and genuinely. I loved being able to make them feel handsome and beautiful and special! Drew and I can't wait for their Miami wedding in a few months and are stoked to celebrate with these two wonderful souls!

White & Green Garden Wedding | Candid & Natural Wedding Photos | Miami, FlMiami Beach Botanical Garden is one of our favorite wedding venues because the gardens are so beautiful and peaceful! Bianca & Luis were the chillest couple ever on their wedding day! They had so much fun getting ready, enjoying that time with family and friends, and soaking up the day! Their first look was really special. They got time to just be together and be present in the moment. Lu & Bi are both runners, so they laced up the trainers and we took a jog and a jump in front of the newly finished Miami Beach Convention Center! We captured so many perfect candids, classics, and goofy moments! Their wedding ceremony was stunning with the most gorgeous flower circle arbor in the whole world. Lu really wanted a wooden circle for the ceremony, so the florist built one for them! It was the first time that I had seen colorful eco-friendly felt pompoms thrown at a ceremony too! I love that those are made of natural fibers and are easy to pick up! They had their first dance under the bistro lights outside followed by a super fun night of dancing, conga lines, maracas, limbo, amazing food, a custom "L&B" neon light, and of course the now famous and trademarked Cat Walk dance celebration. Drew and I love working together because we for real have so much celebrating with couples and Lu + Bi's wedding was such a fun fiesta! They are so kind, so welcoming, and have a beautiful future together! Best wishes you two on your big move soon and we hope you love these memories as much as we do :D Find these awesome Miami wedding vendors on Instagram!

Mattheson Hammock Park Sunset EngagementMichelle and Paul met while working at a restaurant and it was love at first sight! Paul took Michelle out for a fun kayaking first date and right after, Michelle told her family that he was the one! I loved spending the afternoon walking around this gorgeous state park chasing the sun. The hanging Spanish Moss and air plants glowed in the golden hour and the beach's blue waters were on perfect display. There was a wedding and an 80th birthday going on at the park so there was super fun Miami music blasting through this serene backdrop. Of course we had to break into a little salsa, or I had to and they had a good laugh at my moves haha. We had such a fun time talking about jobs, travel, and their upcoming wedding! Can't wait celebrate with these two in February!

Raleigh, NC | Red & Navy Fall Barn Wedding"Rewind to the summer of 2014. God was at work bringing Angela and Steven to Camp Oak Hill. Angela grew up spending her summers at COH and was eager to go back to camp as a counselor. Steven, on the other hand, had worked two summers at COH and had recently graduated from college. After returning to Raleigh, Steven hadn’t yet secured a full-time job when he ran into Michael Orr, the camp director, while shopping at Target. Michael explained they needed more counselors and Steven could continue to apply and interview while on staff. Steven joined the staff just days before staff training began. Their first memory together is at staff training. Angela and Steven were paired up in a “speed dating” ice-breaker game. Steven began answering the question for their round when Angela interrupted him to say "I can't hear you, I am gonna need you to speak up.” They would continue to date long-distance while Angela finished her undergraduate degree at UNC Asheville. They shared many great memories of hiking through the Blue Ridge Mountains and eating at Asheville’s many great restaurants. Angela graduated and was accepted into the Occupational Therapy school at Winston Salem State. This allowed Angela and Steven to spend more time together and grow closer than they had ever been. Eventually this led to a breezy November afternoon where Steven decided to act on a feeling he had felt since the first day they met..." Fast forward to their wedding day on a chilly November afternoon. The cozy barn welcomed all their loving friends and family from all over the world! The bridesmaids looked stunning in their red dresses against the Carlee Farm fall forest and the groomsmen complimented in their classic navy. The day was full of music, dancing, and fun. My favorite memory was when a fuse blew and the music abruptly stopped. Someone started clapping and someone else made up the catchy beat saying "no music" *clap clap clap* "no music". Soon, the whole dance floor caught on to the chant and a limbo contest promptly formed! It was so fun! Camp people are the best. That was just the perfect example of a framily coming together to lift everyone else up and to see the bright side no matter what happens. It was so nice being back in North Carolina, and it was equally as nice having a wedding full of Latinos who knew how to throw the best party :D I'm so grateful for these two new friends! Drew and I so loved being a part of their celebration, and we truly did feel part of their day, because that's the kind of loving, thoughtful, generous people A+S are <3 Raleigh Wedding Photographer, Raleigh elopement photographer, Raleigh engagement photographer, Durham Wedding Photographer, Durham engagement photographer, Wilmington Wedding Photographer, Wilmington Elopement Photographer, Wilmington Engagement Photographer, Miami Wedding Photographer, Miami Elopement Photographer, Miami Engagement Photographer, Adventure wedding photographer, destination wedding photographer, LGBTQ Wedding Photographer, Same Sex Wedding Photographer, Gay Wedding photographer, fashion photographer, female fashion photographer, miami fashion photographer, Boutique Photo Editing, Outsource wedding editing, outsource editing, Raleigh wedding photographer, Ocean Isle photographer, Ocean Isle wedding Photographer, Asheville wedding photographer, Asheville elopement photographer, Asheville engagement Photographer, north carolina photographer, Court House wedding, cheap wedding photographer, Durham elopement photographer, Raleigh engagement photographer, adventure wedding photographer, destination wedding photographer, destination elopement, South Florida wedding, North Carolina wedding, Miami Fashion photographer, miami beach fashion photographer, raleigh fashion photographer

Miami Beach Engagement Photographer | South Pointe Park Film Photography | My First Film Frames11/5/2019 Film Wedding Photographer | Pentax 645 on Fuji 400hHere are my first film frames from a session! In high school I produced film old school style in dark room. In college I carried around my grandfather's film camera and took photos of my friends and family. I love the rawness of film. I love that you have to think about everything and pay special attention to composition, focus, meter the light, know your film type, set your settings and really want that shot because you only have 16 frames per roll. I love the pure art behind film! So I was excited to finally be brave enough and be a hybrid photographer and bring my film camera to two different beach engagement sessions! Both are at my favorite park on South Beach in Miami Beach at South Pointe Park. I love the palm trees, the rocks, and the cotton candy sunset. These are 5 rolls of Fuji 400h on my Pentax 645 and I'm excited to start bringing it to more celebrations!

Bringing the Heat to South BeachCristy and Nick met in paramedic school and fell in love over their shared hearts for service. They both work for fire departments in Miami and respond to both fire and paramedic calls. These two are so full of courage and love it was an honor documenting their love on South Beach! We talked about their passion for travel, their dog, and their journey to becoming fire fighters. I loved every moment from the From the bride: "Nick woke up and turned to me and said “lets hop on a plane” and of course I agreed. We’re big travel bugs so it wasn’t out of the ordinary at all. We packed a small backpack each with both warm and cold weather clothing not knowing where we’d end up. When we got to the airport we picked the next flight out and landed in NYC within a few hours. He asked the big question at the top of the One Tower which can seem a bit depressing being that that is where very many people had passed that horrific day, but as fireman it meant something entirely different to us. I couldn't have chosen any way more fitting for us."

Downtown Durham Blue, White, & Green WeddingDrew and I were so excited to fly back from Miami to Raleigh to celebrate with Lindsay and Kevin! The sun was out and bright for their downtown Durham wedding at Angus Barn's Bay 7 venue in the gorgeous industrial chic American Tobacco Campus. Brick on brick with the coolest architecture! I had the best time hanging out with Lindsay and her bridescrew hearing funny stories and toasting the happy couple. Their friends were so loving and supportive and L+K are so beautiful inside and out that our jobs were made easy. These college sweet heats were friends throughout school but senior year just happened to be perfect timing and some how K just kept coming over to L's house to "watch Breaking Bad". Eventually, they went on their first date and the rest is history!! They made it through over 2 years of long distance, raising a puppy while apart, moving multiple times, new jobs and so much more. Drew and I loved seeing them clearly ecstatic to have all their friends and family in one place and throw everyone a fantastic part including capturing several big group shots! What a fun day in honor of two wonderful souls!
