A year or so ago I removed weddings from my list of photography offerings. I do enjoy photographing weddings, but have decided to narrow down & focus on portraiture. (Including bridal portraits!)

Of course there are always exceptions, and this wedding is was of them.

I have been friends with the bride for 8+ years, and have watched her evolve with this true love.

It has been a beautiful journey, one just beginning for the two of them.

A quiet moment, waiting their turn with the Justice of the Peace.

A Relationship to Celebrate | Raleigh Portrait Photographer

I was contacted to capture beautiful portraits to celebrate this lovely couple’s upcoming ten year anniversary.

Initial thoughts were to dress in the original wedding attire, shoot portraits & capture a few fun moments.

During our pre-session consult, we talked about what they like to do together & developed this session to tell a story.

This is a beautifully romantic story.

We should all be so lucky to experience this much love!

10 devoted years.

Swing dancing classes is something that both of them enjoy, and I was excited for the opportunity to capture this for them.

Come to find out even though new frocks were purchased, the choice was to wear dress she wore to her rehearsal dinner – perfect for this fun dancing series!

OH I can’t forget to mention that they were so prepared for this session, we even had music playing
