After our walk through of their venue we decided on a mini engagement session before we headed to dinner. James and Dana are naturals, sweet and loving and oh so easy to photograph. Looking forward to their upcoming wedding! Here are just a few of our favorites!
Sam + Luke | Ceresville Mansion
So many great things can be said about Sam and Luke's wedding. But first just a refresher of what their engagement session was like. There was one unusual thing that both Kristiaan and I were excited for their wedding and it was meeting Lukes mom who had become one of our biggest facebook fans and also friend-ed us; we really love that kind of support. When we met her it was like we had known her for years. The rest of the pieces fell into place nicely. Both sides of Sam and Lukes family and friends were so pleasant to be around and treated as we had been part of their group for years. It was a great feeling. Throughout the day, there were so many precious moment that we were witness to and we both teared up a few times especially during daughter and mother dance.
This wedding for us was much about feeling and we hope that we represented everything that was felt that day. There is a reason we do what we do, full day coverage, constantly shooting and looking for moments. At one point in the evening Kristiaan photographed a simple but happy moment with Sam + Luke and his grandfather. We sadly found out a few weeks later that Luke grandfather passed away which made the moment that Kristiaan captured so much more important.
We love what we do and want to keep doing this so that we can deliver these type of images to our clients.

Fun couple! How Fun? As fun as an outfit swap (last image), first ever, not for everyone but I cant tell you how much we LOVED it...and them! Check out some of the fun we had in the alleys and parking lots in DC.

Fevia + Derek | North Carolina Wedding
Warm, happy-good-vibes, loving family, intimate.
Kristiaan and I spent the weekend in North Carolina at Peter Rabbits Place aka Fevia's grandmother property in Halifax, NC. This was one of those weddings where everything felt good. From the day we arrived, we were happily welcomed into both sides of family and friends - they truly made us feel at home.
Their wedding day was simply perfect, it was one of those warm but not hot or humid summer days where the air was just sweet. The days schedule was without incident. Smiles and tears aligned perfectly during their touching ceremony followed by a group of heart-felt toasts at the reception. The rest of the evening involved some very memorable dancing.
The day after their wedding we spent a few hours around the town of Weldon before returning to Peter Rabbits place for some final shots of the day.
Huge congrats to you, Fevia and Derek!
