Bre & Harrison| Downtown Engagement Session | Christina Chapman Photography
As soon as Bre told me they wanted to include one of their favorite places in their downtown engagement session I knew we were in for a treat! We started the evening at Sanford’s beloved Yarboroughs Ice Cream shop! Let me tell you, it was fun for sure but I think it was a little painful for all four of us to be there and not indulge in all that frozen goodness! Sounds like a good reason for an ice cream date very soon! When we met with Bre and Harrison over coffee they shared their love story with us and I was totally swooning when they showed us the…

Jenna & Kyle | A Classic Southern Wedding | Wedding Photographer
Jenna and Kyle stood on the Bass Lake waterfront deck facing their friends and family that had traveled from all over the country. As Kyle lovingly placed Jenna’s guitar strap over her shoulder being sure to not wrinkle her veil they told the story of how this song was created. Spending the weekend in the car traveling from South Carolina to North Carolina gave them plenty of time to reflect on their relationship. To recall all of the little moments that brought them to here, to becoming husband and wife. Binding their lives just as their hearts have been for years. Their expression of love for each other and gratitude…

The Farm on Cotton|Katie & Bens Romantic Wedding | Wedding Photographer
As Ben walked into their family-filled wedding tent, guitar in hand all eyes were on him. He pulled up a chair for his new beautiful Bride, Katie and told of how he wrote this song for her. You could have heard a pin drop in those moments between pause and the first note. As he sang this song to Katie you would have thought they were the only two people in the whole world. Time stood still as he poured his heart out in song. It was beautiful, genuine and one of a kind just like their relationship and we are so honored to have been there! There were so…

The Farm on Cotton | Rachel & Dennis | Wedding Photographer
Oh, you guys!!! I have been absolutely dying to share Rachel and Dennis’ gorgeous Spring-inspired Farm on Cotton, wedding! You would never believe that a heavy storm was stalking this beautiful wedding but it totally was! I sky was dark and gray and the rain threatened to have us all running for shelter. At least that is what the forecast said! Just as Rachel and her dad stepped out to begin their long walk the skies let go of their heavy load and the rain started to fall. Hand in hand, under a clear umbrella, down a winding path through the trees, they made their way to Dennis. Rachel was…

Farm on Cotton Wedding | Courtney & Daniel | NC Elopement Photographer
Daniel stood waiting for his beautiful Bride surrounded by family and friends. As the music began to play he quickly turned away to look out over the apple orchard. He wanted to wait…. he wanted to see his Bride not through a crowd or through trees as she walked down the long ailse, he wanted to wait until she was in front of him. With a tap on the shoulder Daniel turned to see Courtney walking towards him, walking up to take his hand and become his wife. Courtney and Daniels lovestory started many many years ago when they were just kids! When Daniel was ready to ask his high…
