Raleigh Engagement Photographer: Katie+Cameron

Meet Katie and Cameron! They are one of our June 2012 couples and we couldn’t be happier to have them. :) It took a while to schedule this session – Katie is in rotation for podiatry school in Iowa and is in a different state every couple of months, but their parents both reside in Raleigh and eventually they made it home! They’ve both been together a very long time and it took even longer for Cameron to pop the question since Katie was was tired and repeatedly turned out his requests to get out of the house with him. ;) Baahaha (this, by the way, is a story we’ve heard before. So couples, if your partner is repeatedly insisting that you get up and go somewhere with them, you might want to consider it).

They’re such a sweet couple and we had a good old time traversing a few neighborhood parks avoiding poison ivy here and snakes there. While Katie’s tuxedo cat wasn’t able to make the shoot, we still made the best of it. ;) Here are a few of my favorites!

 

Raleigh Engagement Photographer: Taylor+Chris

It’d be much more accurate if I titled this post Raleigh Engagement Photographer: Taylor+Chris+Wynnie… mostly because it really is an engagement between the three of them. :) Taylor being a fabulous girl who works in a psychiatric office and used to be my sister-in-law’s roommate. Chris being a wonderful boy who does web-related work for the American Kennel Club. Wynnie being the sweetest (and softest) Golden Retriever on the face of the planet who has a general distrust of water fountains and whose hair gets a pristine 80s crimp when it gets wet. Taylor and Chris’s love for Wynnie is very evident. So when they became engaged, it was obvious we were to include Wynnie in the pictures.

Most of the time when dogs are included in engagement pictures, they are in about 10-30% of the shots, depending. This is usually due to the fact that it takes a much longer time to pose people with their dogs and get the dogs settled down and looking in the proper direction. Wynnie is in about 95% of their pictures. A lot of this has to do with the fact that she was just one dog as opposed to two or three, but most of it has to do with the fact that Wynnie is just so ridiculously sweet. She never barked, they never yelled at her, and she did whatever we wanted. Just a totally chill dog. A lot of this has to do with the fact that you could tell the three of them are just happy as can be. :) Wynnie is thrilled that her parents are tying the knot… and while this post is mainly to celebrate the engagement of Taylor+Chris, it’s also about the adoption of Wynnie. :)

Photos taken at the North Carolina Museum of Art (NCMA) where Taylor used to go a lot as a child.

We’re photographing Taylor and Chris’s wedding on October 23rd – our one year wedding anniversary. :) What a great way to celebrate it!
