Adam + Kelsey

filed in:

It may sound weird when I say that this past weekend was my weekend off.  I have had four weddings in a row and another this coming Saturday! It has been quite a busy month! So this past Saturday, second shooting with Jessie was such a nice change! I love second shooting with her! It reminds me of when this all started (12 months ago!) and how I swore to her I wouldn’t get into this “photography” stuff! haha Oh how things change.

.

Adam and Kelsey’s wedding was gorgeous, HOT, but gorgeous. Their venue was The Angus Barn in Raliegh, NC and it was incredible. Just wait until you see the reception details! They are some of my favorites, by far!

.

I’m always a little nervous working with a bride I’ve never met before but Kelsey welcomed me so warmly and I just loved working with her and Adam.  They are truly an awesome couple with an awesome story!  Kelsey’s older sister is married to Adam’s older brother! How cool is that!!?  It made individual family portraits quite tricky!  There couldn’t be a better picture of college sweethearts.  As Adam and Kelsey made their grand entrance to the NC state fight song, everyone cheered and congratulated the newlywed couple.  They danced the night away and couldn’t have been happier!

.

Adam and Kelsey, I wish you the very best! Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your big day! Enjoy some of my favorites!

idblog9I usually get attached to one detail at each wedding and keep taking numerous unncessary pics of them…this time it was the black pumps! Loved them.
