At the Movies!

Another fabulously Fun engagement session

in Downtown Raleigh!!

Jessica and Matthew:
How we met: Online...computer nerds all the way.
Our first date: At the Movies--Sunday morning showing of Ice Age II, followed by a quick lunch and running some errands (friends say we were married before we ever even met), then a surprise ending with Matt taking me to dinner at my favorite restaurant.
Location: Greensboro, NC
The Proposal: I was still in the middle of my semester at school in Virginia so Matt was set to come visit me. Saturday evening we went out for dinner to a new restaurant. After a fantastic meal we were about to order desert when our impatient waiter popped up at the table with a delicious dish adorned with a very shiny ring. Cleaning of the ring, asking for my hand, yes' all around, happy tears and applause followed suit. Then to top it off, I couldn't reach anyone on their phones to tell them the news...
Wedding Date: Pre -Iraq September 29, 2007 Raleigh, NC
Celebration: Our lives Post-Iraq June 20, 2009 Haywood Hall,Raleigh, NC

Barclay Villa

Barclay Villa has now opened their new pool and fountain deck area. Another beautiful rustic retreat at one of my favorite places to photograph!! I had to update some of my samples including the front gate. For those of you who may not have seen the Barclay before...take a look at this Fairytale wedding location.
