Jordan + Derek = NC Beach Engagement Session

NC Beach Engagement Session  |  Jordan + Derek  |  June 26th, 2020

I can’t even tell you guys how BIG I was smiling the whole time I edited Jordan & Derek’s Engagement Session!!! The JOY on their faces, all the laughter, and their pure happiness was a DREAM to photograph!!! 🙂

After several tries to reschedule because of COVID and the weather, we hit the jackpot with the most BEAUTIFUL day!!! We had sunshine peeking through the tree-lined street and spanish moss draping down (which always makes me do a little happy dance!) and the ocean was the prettiest blue with the sky turning pastel as the sun set. It was truly MAGICAL.

Jordan did her OWN hair and makeup (aren’t you as impressed as I am?!) and they did an amazing job with choosing their outfits!!! Both of Jordan’s dresses had the perfect amount of “flow” for the beachy wind, and Derek looked super handsome with his button-down dress shirts (I especially loved the blue-checked one against the blue ocean!!)

We accidentally chose a SUPER busy day at the beach  (Friday summer nights AND close to July 4th) for their session. But, both Derek and Jordan were super patient with waiting “our turn” for photos, and very trusting when we took them onto the busy beach with tons of swimmers in the water, and beach goers all around!!!

We had the BEST time capturing Jordan and Derek’s love! It was even more special for us, because Phillip grew up going to church with Jordan’s family (I even swam at the neighborhood pool with her when we were little!) and now we live in the same neighborhood as her parents & grandma! (We also photographed Jordan’s cousin’s wedding at Rose Hill a few years ago! See Parker + Haley’s beautiful day HERE!)

Phillip and I are SO HAPPY for you both! We hope you’ll love seeing some of my favorite photos from Jordan + Derek’s beautiful Engagement Session below! Enjoy!!!! 🙂
