Kyle and Melia...Newlyweds

everyone meet kyle and melia and abby their weimaraner. i met melia years ago when we were tweens. her mom worked with my mom and everyone agrees that there is an uncanny resemblance melia and i share...i will let you be the judge! so yesterday on a beautiful fall afternoon i was invited to their litte cabin tucked away in the woods for i guess what you could call their first family shoot! a dog counts as a kid right, they are a big responsibility too. so we carry an old church pew to the dock below the house and begin to set up for some photos. i remember thinking it was so peaceful. they are good friends of mine and it was a pleasure spending some time with them to capture these photos. i hope you enjoy these as much as i enjoyed my time with kyle and melia and abby. kyle and melia were married on oct 2nd...congrats to them, and i know they have a bright future ahead of them.


curious abby

abbys blue green eyes are mezmerizing...too bad she can't have puppies


i love this




perfect still pond for a reflection shot


abby decided to be nosey and see what that noise was in the woods and ran away, she is missing from this shot




so here i caught melias response to look at me with a serious look...i knew she would crack


i really like this one for some reason

sweetness

TJ and Courtney...Engaged

Meet TJ and Courtney what an adorable couple they are...





TJ and Courtney met in yearbook back in high school so i guess you could could say they are high school sweet hearts



TJ decided to ask Courtney out, so one day in yearbook TJ placed a message in a yearbook layout and it said...


Courntey will you go to prom with me?



she replied by saying yes, so they went to prom and all that sweet high school stuff

AND.....

a few weeks later tj was like, "courtney are we dating?'' and she replied by saying, "i guess, yes!"



so that is there sweer little story in a nut shell. so almost 3 years later we decided to meet up in downtown mount airy for their e-session



look at them how sweet? TJ and i sat in the most boring useless class together called ACA, ever heard of that? we discussed the uselessness of that class today and shared a few laughs!




Courtney is awaiting acceptance into UNC pharmaceutical school, all the while she is currently at UNC right now busting her butt...and both her and TJ commute to see eachother





what a lovely couple...so sweet, funny, and adorbale!
