I hope you don’t mind, but I’d like to take a moment for a personal note, and promise it will absolutely apply. A year ago December, our sweet baby Quin was born. I could not have imagined the joy that this new creature could have brought us and my heart was so full being a new mom during the most beautiful time of the year. I’ve heard people lament when big life events happen during the holiday season, but now, from my experience I can say without a doubt that they make the holiday season. They fill your heart with so much gratitude for the season, for the people you love, and for the time to celebrate the things that matter most. It is truly a gift to experience it and Jenn and Blake’s wedding was absolutely no exception.
Jenn has been a ray of sunshine the moment I met her and will call her a dear friend for as long as she’ll let me. ;) Her joy and passion for life and people is inspiring and her beauty, inside and out, is amazing. Blake is her match and together, their day was one I will never forget. I hope these photographs tell their day’s story well and be on the lookout for a flash mob courtesy of the coolest friends ever.
It was a privilege to be a part of this day. Jenn and Blake, thank you and the warmest congratulations. Love you both.

Fall in Raleigh this year was epic. Period. No ifs ands or buts about it. The trees were perfect for weeks, the sky was sapphire blue and the weather warm. I could not have painted a more perfect matching backdrop for Ali & Tim’s wedding. Every moment that transpired during their day matched the beauty of the season. I was so grateful to be a part of it. And be prepared for a fabulous party … these kids can rock it out. 
Tim & Ali … honored to be a part of your day.
Thank you Vanessa for second shooting.
