so excited to post this engagement session! richie and i drove up to NEW YORK CITY to do katie and ryan’s session in central park!! this was our first trip to the big city but we Loved it! it was slightly majorly intimidating, but it was a Fantastic trip! so many of our clients gave us pointers on where to go and what to do there so that was Really cool! we met katie and ryan in the Early morning for a Sunrise engagement session (one of two we did this year). they knew they wanted to do their session in central park but it gets Busy Fast so to cut down on traffic we did it at sunrise! i am pretty sure we walked the Entire park! that night we had dinner at the stanton social, where katie and ryan were so sweet to make us reservations and then we got surprised with champagne and a sweet note from them!! like sweetest thing ever!! we had Such a fantastic time with them and we can’t wait for their wedding next september in chapel hill! (this session was done about two weeks before Sandy hit…)

kassie and ben…. married… september 1. 2012…. asheville nc.  oh these two…. i’ve waited for this wedding for so long and it was everything (plus some) that i expected it to be!  i blew my “50 picture limit” out of the water with this post, so i won’t write much here (i’ve written a bunch within the blog post).

but i can’t say enough how awesome of a job kassie mae and ben did with every detail of their wedding!  and how perfect they are for each other!  this whole wedding team worked together to make this day pretty darn good!  here we go!!……

venue:  lake eden event center, black mountain, nc                          wedding planner- verge events, asheville, brittany ghio

hair:  lisa taylor          makeup:  marie bullock        caterer:  artisan catering        pig: glenn douglas from the ugly pig bbq        DJ: mr. c’s mobile dj

bride’s dress:  bella vista, columbia, sc         bridesmaids dresses:  armoursans anguish on etsy, tawny holt       flowers: lady luck flower farm

all the absolutely perfect little details:  kassie mae & ben **love**

and now i must pause to tell what happened next… because while it was pretty scary, it turned out ok, and it IS part of their story….

while in line to go out to the ceremony, kassie mae’s grandfather fell.  hard.  split his forehead open and under his eye.  the paramedics had to be called.  kassie mae wanted him to be at the ceremony SO badly.  and he wanted to as well.  but there wasn’t any getting around a hospital trip.  so as the paramedics worked on him, kassie mae and ben said their vows right there in the living room!  so utterly sweet!!!  good news is that he did well with all his tests and got stitched up and made it back to the reception!  yay!!

thunder at your ceremony, earthquakes on your honeymoon… i think you guys are in for a wild ride together!  and i don’t think two people are more better fit for each other for this life adventure!

love you guys!!  so happy we could become intertwined in your lives, even if only for a short time!  xxoo, jamie and richie

our first greek wedding.  and it was FABULOUS!!!   katie and taylor were SO much fun!  and they have such great families and friends.  and dancing.  lots of dancing…..

venues:  getting ready- marriott of greensboro downtown          ceremony- greek church of the dormition of the theotoko’s, greensboro      reception- revolution mills

i have to pause real quick to explain the next couple pictures…  i was posing the two of them while their families watched behind me and taylor placed his hand on katies belly and rubbed it and said something about a baby (TOTALLY NOT TRUE) (about there being a baby in there) and katie’s reaction was HILARIOUS!  in the first picture she is telling her family “it’s not true!!  don’t listen to him!!” and then in the second one taylor’s getting quite the laugh about it and katie is saying “WHY would you say that??!”.  there no baby as of right now, rest assured, but this was pretty entertaining to watch/photograph!  love you katie!  and love the immediate emotional reaction! and how you look like you are going to smack him with your bouquet! classic!!  gotta love a groom with a sense of humor!  ha!!

and let the greek dancing begin!!  i’m tellin ya… those greeks must have some Killer calf muscles because this circle dancing stuff looks like a calf workout gone wild!!

it was an awesome wedding.  period.  no doubt.

hadley and andy… engaged… durham tobacco district….    just when i thought i loved hadley and andy a lot, they arrived to their engagement session on saturday in THE COOLEST BOOTS EVER!  i didn’t know if i wanted to try to swipe them off their feet during the shoot and hope they didn’t notice, or if i just wanted to go home with them like their new best friend!  i’m tellin ya… i was in LOVE with the boots!  shooting these two was fun, easy times!  they are like laid back cool. totally enjoyable to photograph!  and if they look familiar its because i did their dog session about a month ago!  : )   they are getting married this september at bay 7, and i SO can’t wait for their wedding day!!  here are some of my favs from their session….
