Ricky & Amanda {LDS Wedding Photography}

I met this couple at church. They actually got married last year, although at his hometown, but had to wait until this summer to be sealed in the Temple. (Click here  and here to find out more of LDS Temples) So when she asked me I was a bit nervous to do it but also excited so I said yes and am glad I did! I'm a bit nervous to do weddings but since LDS Weddings/Sealings are done inside the Temple where you're not allowed to take pictures of the ceremony, I felt a little bit less nervous. Taking pictures at LDS Weddings mostly consists of the couple coming out of the Temple, group pictures, pictures of the couple, and the reception so a bit less pressure with not having to take pics of the ceremony :) Which that's the most nerve-wracking part for me. Anywho... :) I drove up to Raleigh to the Temple and took their pics and had a lot of fun! It was neat to do something different and broaden my photography genres. :) So here's some pics from that day!

Tim & Maurissa {Engagement Photography}

This is yet another amazing couple we've met through the military! Up until two weeks ago (sorry for slacking off on posting...again! :) Tim worked across the hall from my husband so we've seen quite a bit of him and have been around since the beginning of Tim and Maurissa's relationship...so when they asked me to take engagement pictures for them I was super excited! I love doing family and baby sessions but I haven't gotten to do many engagements so I was excited to do some more! And I absolutely LOVE how they turned out! They were such a fun/easy couple to photograph and we got so many great shots! Here are some of my favs!

The Korpi Family {Family Photography}

This is another Navy Family and one of my best friends! :) They have been with us our entire military career/journey, from training to more training to MS and now to NC. I feel very blessed to have such a good friend with such a wonderful family to share all that with. I've been telling her I can do their family pictures for a long time (she said they've never really done them before so of course I had to) and she finally took me up on it! 

I met this cutie 3 years ago and he is growing up to be such a handsome, sweet little guy!

This little gal and my little gal are besties and are so cute together!

This little guy is such a doll but also a little stinker! He was pretty hard to get to pay attention during the session...we had to bribe him with fruit snacks in between shots :) Worked though! 

Love this adorable shot of her looking up at her Momma!

Such a beautiful family!

I really love this location and love the sunsets here!  Love this shot especially.

And there is the Korpi family! Love you guys!!!
