engaged: philip + danielle | burlington, n.c.

When Philip + Danielle contacted me about doing their wedding photos, I squealed with excitement! Philip and I were friends back in high school, where we spent days convincing our AP European History teacher to let us watch any movie that had to do with Europe and play Risk, along with surviving many other "challenges" of high school. I was so happy for him when we went to N.C. State and even happier that he met this awesome lady, Danielle while he was there! When I say that I couldn't think of any other people who were absolutely perfect for each other, I truly mean it. Philip is a Ph. D candidate in the College of Veterinary Medicine at State and Danielle is a veterinary medicine student and a Ph. D candidate. They just get each other. Their love for each other is huge! They laugh at each other and themselves and are all about caring for animals in such a very intellectual way. Phil proposed to Danielle late this summer while she was at school. A good friend convinced her that there was a sick goat out in the field by a big tree that needed attention quickly. Little did she know, the sick goat was Philip. Philip took a knee and Danielle's breath away in one fell swoop while she was decked out in her mud boots and overalls. It was a total surprise, which always makes for the best proposal!

We met out at their wedding venue in Burlington, Starlight Meadows, to have a rustic and casual session. This new venue is awesome and is going to be so beautiful on an early October evening! We played and danced in the meadow with their sweet boy, Finley, laughed at all the things, and had such a great time. These two even cracked jokes the whole day about some pretty gross cow facts (I'll spare you the details but I quite enjoyed them myself!), in addition to owning all awkwardness and quoting YouTube videos. They are an adventurous couple who know how to have some serious fun and are dream clients!

Philip + Danielle, you two are just so perfect for one another. It brings butterflies to my stomach when I see how much love there is beaming out of y'all. Thank you for the great session and I cannot wait for the big day to get here!

There is something magical about a wedding in a rose garden -- something that is romantic, quaint, and intimate. This something was Elizabeth & Drake's beautiful wedding. These two, unlike any other young couple I've seen, have a huge love for each other spurred by their love of God. They glow when they look at each other, they know how to have fun together, and most of all, they love and respect each other. Surrounding by their large and awesome families, they took each others hand in marriage without hesitation. They are such a super sweet couple, who took their wedding day and made it so very personal to them. One of their first dates as students at N. C. State, was at the Raleigh Little Theatre Rose Garden and Drake's love of aviation drew them to RDU's General Aviation Terminal for their wedding locations. These two brought their excited families & friends together to celebrate their love in such a gracious and Christian way! Their personal touches to the ceremony and the reception were unbelievable and radiated the love that Elizabeth + Drake have for each other! Oh, happy day, these two are married and it was an absolute perfect day!   Elizabeth + Drake, thank you for letting me photograph such an amazing time in your life! It was my honor to be a part of such a special day! What I will remember the most is your loving smile's towards each other, the way y'all can make each other laugh and enjoy life, and the great amount of love and respect you have towards each other! Best of luck to y'all's new life ahead of you...may Ferruzzi Airlines take you on the journey of your life!
