Meet Leslie and Mark! They are two fun and adorable people planning their wedding in VA next year at Leslie’s grandmother’s farm (which sounds totally sweet). We shot their engagement session in Raleigh near Hayes Barton Cafe where they went on their first date, and the night he proposed, and probably again after our engagement session since it seems like they’re kind of addicted to cake. We walked around and talked about their upcoming wedding and honeymoon (to Ireland where they can avoid getting sunburned). They’re the goofy, fun, upbeat kind of people and we had a great time wandering around parking lots and alleyways with them while they did handstands and threw leaves at each other. We know their wedding in Virginia next year will be awesome, much like them. :)

Erika and Emmanuel are like our celebrity clients. Most people who read our blog know who they are and frequently ask us about them like they’re unicorns, or pass along creepy compliments to them through us. Example: “That one couple is really cute. You know… the Emmerika couple. The guy has the dreadlocks? Yeah, they seem super cool.”… then they just leave it at that and I’m not sure what to say (besides the obvious which is yes, they are quite cool). Well now we’ll see where your loyalty truly lies because Emmanuel has since cut off his dreadlocks! BUT he gained a cool faux hawk… and a puppy. So I’m pretty sure the numbers are still well in their favor. Plus their house has a tree house in the backyard. Family facts:

Emmanuel: loves video games and pizza and not sleeping
Erika: loves baked goods and movies and kittens
Lobo[gray cat, not terribly pictured because…]: loves everybody leaving him the hell alone
Mango[calico cat]: love being derpy and chittering at birds and the bird-like toy
Habanero[tuxedo cat]: loves EVERYONE OMG PET ME RIGHT NOW
Bino[puppy]: loves chew toys made of gross parts of bulls that we won’t put in the blog or else our blog will start coming up for search results we do not want

Look at how cute they are.
