These two are getting married next year and it still blows my mind that we met Crossley when she was only nine years old! Michael and I were newlyweds and Michael was Crossley’s youth pastor at the time. This seems like another life and also like it was just a few years ago.
We are thrilled that she has obviously found her best friend and soulmate! These two are so incredibly sweet together. We spent a couple of hours walking around the beautiful paths throughout Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens. We scheduled this session months ago and we just so happened to have picked a date that had gorgeous weather right before the hurricane rains moved in. We had a chance to catch up on all things life, jobs, houses, family, etc. I think what I love most about our opportunity to photograph former youth group students in this exciting season of life is that it gives us a rare chance to catch up that we wouldn’t have any other way!
We are thrilled that Chip and Crossley are allowing us to celebrate and capture this special season in their relationship and we can’t WAIT for the wedding day! It’s going to be here before we know and we’ll share all of the highlights here on the blog!! Enjoy some of my favorites from their engagement session below!!
As a professional photographer, I’ve had the privilege of capturing countless family portraits over the years. Each session presents a unique set of challenges, from managing energetic children to finding the perfect backdrops.
As a photographer, I’ve often found myself in situations where the location seemed lackluster or uninspiring. It’s easy to get caught up in the pursuit of the perfect setting, but the reality is that we don’t always have the luxury of shooting in the most visually stunning locations.
We rescheduled this shoot with the Smith family once because of a threat of rain. It wasn’t a totally horrible forecast but if there’s one thing that I learned about Colleen when I photographed her wedding, it’s that she loves the GLOW!
What’s better than doing a family session for one KJ couple? Photographing TWO and adding in Nonna and Grandpa!
As a professional wedding photographer, I’ve encountered my fair share of editing challenges on the job.
Have you ever closed out of Lightroom unhappy with the end result?
