Jessie's Bridals - The Proximity Hotel

Jessie and Stanton had a beautiful wedding this past weekend in Durham at their church & reception at The Washington Duke Inn.  And now that they are married, I can finally post several favorites from her bridal session last month at The Proximity Hotel.  

It was not an easy task choosing favorites, as there are just so many. Jessie was an absolutely stunning bride, with such a sweet personality. Her gown was one of my personal favorites to date.  From the intricate lace to the many buttons down the back - my favorite detail of her gown was the pleats going down one side of the hem.  And those shoes!  A special touch was her grandmother's brooch added to her sash on her waist.

We made an afternoon of it and the entire experience at The Proximity Hotel was simply fabulous! A gorgeous bride, an amazing dress, beautiful flowers, & the perfect location - it doesn't get much better than that!

greensboro portrait photographer: kelly, brandon, + valerie

last month i met up with kelly, brandon, and their adorable daughter, valerie, for their engagement-family session in downtown greensboro.  early morning was the best time for both the cooler temps and nice even light. i love downtown for all the interesting shops, restaurants, old buildings, artsy wall murals, side-streets, and alleys. valerie was such a happy and laid back baby... i could easily follow her around for an entire day with a camera! she sure is a daddy's girl too. brandon lights up when his sweet little girl is around! stay tuned for kelly and brandon's lovely wedding coming soon. they were married earlier this month at our lady of grace catholic church and the reception at the gorgeous proximity hotel. i am super stoked about sharing them here on my blog!
