Beach Wedding in Duck, NC | Sanderling Resort.
Mallory + Leland
Sanderling Resort // Duck, North Carolina
Mallory and Leland's late May elopement on the Outer Banks couldn't have been more beautiful. Their entire intimate celebration took place at the Sanderling Resort in Duck, NC, which provided the perfect backdrop for their destination wedding on the coast.
While their wedding day started out a bit cloudy (which is admittedly a photographer's dream), the sun came out just in time for their beachside ceremony officiated by Reverend Jay Bowman. (By the by, I absolutely recommend him if you are looking for an officiant for your Outer Banks wedding - he really is just as amazing as his raving reviews claim.)
Their reception followed in Keeper's Loft with a delicious meal shared around a long table and dance party that felt just right. Their flowers [Sugar Snap Events] and cake [Great Cakes!] were both absolutely stunning, as well.
I am so grateful and honored to have been there to document the entire celebration & wish these two all the best in their marriage. It certainly began on a special day filled to the brim with love & beauty. x

*Just a bit of photographic proof that a little rain during your photo session can lead to a whole lotta magic. (And that rainboots are awesome.)
The Parlour | A Sweet Ice Cream Date.
Kayla + Lowry
The Parlour //Downtown Durham
I was so excited when Kayla said that she loved my idea of going on a mother-daughter ice cream date to The Parlour for part of her family session. It was truly the cherry on top of their already beautiful shoot. (Plus, it was really fun to yell "ice creaaaaam" over & over with her sweet girl, Lowry, while running around Trinity Park.)
P.S. Did you know that you can check the daily flavors at The Parlour, reserve their bus for your next event, & special order cakes from them online, too? Pretty cool.*
*There's just so many ice scream puns. I can't help it.

The Kast Family | Camden Park.
Alex, Cheryl-Ann, + Amelia
Camden Park // Fearrington, NC
I was thrilled and honored when Cheryl-Ann Kast, the amazing woman behind Kast Events, asked me to photograph her family this Spring. Her little daughter, Amelia, is sincerely the sweetest & I couldn't wait for an excuse just to spend time with her. For their Family Session, we met at The Goat & then walked over to Camden Park to kick off our shoes, play tag, & pick // wish on many, many dandelions. You can view more photographs from their session, here.

The incredibly lovely Katie Dunn, of La Fête Event Planning + Design, invited me to photograph her daughter Riley's 1st birthday. Let's just say that it was there that I had my first country ham biscuit + that it was kind of the best Sunday ever.
