We loved everything about this wedding!  The floral arrangements where breath taking and literally everyone was unique and beautiful, and complemented Derek and Mae’s country side wedding!  The scenery was breath taking and so perfectly serene.  Then there was the tears in Derek’s eyes as he lovingly looked into his wife’s eyes…enough to give you chills as you could feel his love for his bride radiating from him!  Start to finish Derek and Mae had a picture perfect wedding and we loved being part of it!

 Any other details unique to your wedding – we are getting married adjacent to a home designed by bride’s father who is an architect. We wanted to get married outdoors in our shared home town.

Mike and Christine are a precious couple, and both Sasha both feel in love with Hatteras as a back drop for the wedding.  I feel there are some vacations coming in the future:)  Christine and Mike…thanks so much for making us feel like so much more than just photographers and more like family!  Enjoy the teasers!

As you may recall from Liz and Dean’s teaser post, their engagement session happened on a quite cold and very windy day.  Liz and Dean were magnificent inspite of the weather and some of our favorite shots are the windy ones out on the beach:)  Sasha and I so enjoyed spending the afternoon and evening with Liz and Dean, and are very much looking forward to this special couples wedding day!  Enjoy!

S0me of you may remember Jenny and her husband Shawn, who’s wedding we photographed.  We were thrilled to learn that they are expecting and that they wanted us to capture this precious time in their lives!  We drove out to meet them at their beautiful family farm which is the same venue their wedding took place at.  We also loved getting to see their big teddy bear of  a saint bernard “Andy” again!  The images captured were stunning, and I have to give a HUGE shout out to my amazing wife for capturing all of these by herself.  Enjoy this beautiful family!
