A lovely little engagement shoot!

Aashna reached out to let me know that she was interested in doing an engagement shoot around Raleigh to celebrate her engagement to Sanket before they headed to India for the wedding festivities…

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE how this shoot turned out, and you will, too! Sara Beth is a longtime friend and pastor who I deeply respect - so when they asked me capture these moments for them, I WAS THRILLED!!!

Sara Beth and Jake were excited to be back on the UNC campus for their engagement shoot since this is the place they first met. These lovebirds met at Carolina through their campus ministry like 13 years ago (Sara Beth had a HUGE crush)….

We feel so honored when y’all refer your friends and family to us; shout-out to Lindsey Boggs (whose family is a regular around here) for this referral! This engagement shoot with Mary Scott and Matthew was such a sweet shoot.

The couple took Ashley to this really cool little place by the water, behind their neighborhood for this shoot. For the shoot, Mary Scott really wanted to capture their special bond with their dog Charlie. They had such a good time walking around, celebrating the two of them and their sweet dog.

Congrats on your engagement, lovebirds!

Y’all, we are SO EXCITED to share this one. It involves a first for Ashley… Being surprised with photographing a surprise proposal! Eeee! 

Casie Hall is a regular around here. Ashley knows her from when she found Story Photographers and reached out to us for her first wedding, years back. Ashley had a quick connection with Casie and they became friends after that. Over the years, Ashley has shot her family and, over this time, she has become really good friends with Casie! Y’all may recognize her as the owner of Three Oaks (who we love around here). With Ashley and Casie both being small business owners, they’ve of course done a lot of meeting, talking, and growing together. It has been really cool for Ashley to watch their relationship grow from client, to friend, to good friend over the years! So, this surprise shoot with her was especially exciting for Ashley.
