Critsey shot this session with me and we went to some cool spots downtown Charlotte. Kelly and Chris brought Daphne, their adorable dog and they even got her a pearl collar for the shoot! I think she felt extremely proud.

Kelly told us they would change into something more dressy for the second part of the session and the dress she wore was extremely cute. Plus yellow shoes that caught Critsey’s attention. She’s a shoe gal ;-)

Oh … and Chris dips like a champ for sure!

Their wedding is going to be at the beautiful Palmer Building and I am looking forward to photograph this event. It’s going to be a blast!

These two are amazing! They turned every little spot in the Queen City into an ad-worthy location. And the light was just awesome—you couldn’t ask for any better.

Stopping in front of Conolly’s on 5th, an Irish pub was a must: Conolly is Robbie’s last name. I want a restaurant with my name too!!

I do encourage couples to bring stuff for at least one change of clothes. For this session Jessica took it pretty seriously: she brought so many different dresses, shoes and jewelry that we had to engage one of the luggage trolleys! Seth said: “I have an outfit for each and every of her dresses” – and put on his tux … Go Seth!

Jessica’s mom was there to help with everything and we appointed her Chief Stylist. The couple was so sparkling and natural in front of the camera what a fun shoot!

When I got there I wanted to give Annabet a call and I didn’t trust my eyes when all the cell phone entries starting with “A” were gone ! Fortunately we ran into each other right after that, and we went taking photos right away.

It was chilly and windy but the two of them were brave. After all Annabet and Jay both love Triathlon—I take my hat off to that, it’s really nothing for the faint of heart and they are both in such great shape!

Last, we jumped some fences to get closer to the historic house and a beautiful old barn. We eventually got chased away since it was not yet opened for visitors, but it was all worth it!
