Kelly + Bobby - Salem College & Old Salem Garden - Engagement Session

A couple of weeks ago we got together with Kelly & Bobby for their engagement session in Winston-Salem. I'd met with Kelly earlier this summer and just knew she was going to be fabulous & a real sweetheart to work with. Turns out, Bobby is too!  These two are perfect together. They know how to have fun and to show love and affection to one another!  They were so relaxed in front of the camera & really enjoyed themselves. 

Winston-Salem is a special place for both Kelly & Bobby. They met through mutual friends at a party, fell in love with one another, and are getting married in this beautiful southern city.  Bobby is in medical school at Wake Forest University and Kelly teaches language arts, history, & science at The Redeemer School + Presbyterian Church, where they'll have their ceremony this fall.  Salem College is Kelly's alma mater and this is why they chose to do part of their engagement session there. We finished their evening session in the gardens at Old Salem.  

We sure had a fun time and I can't wait for their wedding this coming November. I'm also excited to be working with Erin Finnegan, who moved from Winston-Salem back to Minnesota several years ago. I've known Erin for about 12 years and Erin used to work with Kelly's mother. Erin is helping plan the wedding & will be day-of coordinator. And I'm so very grateful for the referral!

Jaimie + Damon - Winston-Salem Engagement Session

A couple of weeks ago, I got together with Jaimie and Damon for their engagement session. We started off in the late afternoon at Old Salem Gardens, ending their session at nearby Washington Park as the sun set.  

 We had a blast walking around the historic neighborhood & gardens of Old Salem, stopping in various locations for photos.  It was such a beautiful fall day - we couldn't of asked for better weather! We spent about 45 minutes there before heading over to the park. Jaimie & Damon both love baseball, so the park was a one of a kind location for the remainder of their session. They changed into casual clothes & their Converse sneakers and tossed a ball back and forth to one another - what fun!  These two really enjoy each other's company and their love for one another really shines through. 

From the moment I met Jaimie & Damon a few months ago, I knew they were going to be a joy to work with! Jaimie, who is originally from California, met Damon at work and the rest is history! They were referred to me by their colleague, David, who was my former neighbor (and computer Mac guy plus pet-sitter!). I can't wait until their May 2017 wedding at the Kimpton Cardinal Hotel in downtown Winston-Salem!
