Kathleen + Will = ENGAGEMENT SESSION!

Beach and Downtown Engagement Session   |   Kathleen + Will   |   April 6, 2019

It’s so fun when a couple chooses locations that are BRAND NEW for us! Kathleen and Will envisioned a historic downtown session, on the boardwalk, and on the beach, so we were excited to travel down to photograph them!

We went down a day early to scout around and pick out all our favorite locations. A big thanks to Katie Amspacher (of Sarah K. Photography) for being our tour guide and showing us all the local spots!

Kathleen and Will decided on sunrise to beat all the crowds… and woke up at 3:00AM to drive down from Raleigh!!!! Talk about the BEST SPORTS EVER! Their moms Jane and Judy were also SUPER SWEET to take time to wake up early and come help with the puppies Baker & Sailor in between poses!

Sometimes I’m sad when we don’t have sunshine for sessions… but we had the most beautiful overcast morning that wasn’t too dark – and we made MAGIC on that beach!!!! The outfits that Will and Kathleen chose were PERFECT for the soft colors of the beach, sky, and ocean… and the way Kathleen’s flowy dress moved in the wind was STUNNING!!!! I was soooooo excited as I was shooting!!!

Will was a trooper, and not only woke up at 3:00am, got windy, sandy, but also WET in the ocean, as his only pair of shoes and pants got SOAKED as the ocean snuck up on us!!! Thankfully, he just laughed it off and embraced it. Loved it!!!!

We had such a BLAST with these two (plus the puppies and the moms!) that our session went an HOUR OVER!!!!! Which means… I’m left with TONS of favorite photos, and I hope that you’ll also love their Sneak Peek just as much!

Phillip and I are already excited for their Merrimon Wynne wedding day next April 2020! If this fun Engagement Session is any indication of their wedding day… we are PUMPED!!!!
