Where you call home: Fuquay Varina, North Carolina
Things we’d write home to Momma about: We’re pretty tickled that we’ve been featured in wedding publications from North Carolina to California, and internationally from Canada to Prague. We also love that we get to work together as husband and wife full time. Our moms are our biggest fans – they always read our blog posts and tell us how much they liked the last wedding we just posted!
Location/coverage: North Carolina, and destinations worldwide
How we got into weddings: We started to get interested in wedding photography five years ago, after our own wedding. Our experiences as a bride and groom helped to shape the experience that we offer to our own couples now. We’ve found that working with people who are in love is so fulfilling, and completes our inner romantic.
Favorite thing about Southern weddings: We love Southern weddings because of the laid-back, family oriented feeling that they have. We also love the style of Southern weddings! Seeing wedding guests in bow ties, hats, and pretty dresses always makes us smile. And the food! Oh, the food…
Favorite part of a wedding day: Our favorite part of a wedding day is when a bride and groom see each other for the first time, especially during a first look. The Kiss, and the elation that follows after their announcement as Mr. and Mrs., are a close second. Seeing the heartfelt touches and details that reflect the couple and their personalities always makes our day, and we adore the moments we get with the newly wedded couple, as they soak in the realization that yay, they’ve done it!
Advice for brides and grooms: Don’t be afraid to show your love… the most natural, romantic photos come from two people that are passionately in love with each other. Your wedding day will be one of the happiest days of your life, so surround yourself with your family, and wedding vendors who you are as comfortable around as you are with your family.
Favorite Southern city: We probably don’t have a single favorite Southern city, but we love small coastal towns like Beaufort, Ocracoke, and Ocean Isle. Beach towns are so romantic! We love Nicholas Sparks’ novels, and walking into coastal towns always feels like stepping into one of his books.
Early bird or night owl: We stay up way later than we should — we’re definitely more night owls :)
Pottery barn or Anthropologie: Anthropologie, and Ruche clothing
