So Katy, Mike, and myself met up in Uptown Charlotte a few weeks ago and decided to just walk around with a camera and see what happens. We started at the Green, walked up Tryon Street, and ended up back at the Green where the two soon to be marrieds decided to get a little nutty in the fish fountains. All in all a great time and some moments worth remembering.

E-Sessions are a great way to gain familiarity with your photographer before your wedding day and always highly recommended!

Here is few samples of how it went…

Recently Jessica, Oteil, myself, and Heather Bryson of Carolina Wedding Design set off on a chilly afternoon to conduct an engagement session. Being artists themselves, they were up for anything and everything, a blank photography canvas. I am lucky enough to be shooting their wedding later this year!

Engagement photography sessions are a great idea for any couple. Not only do you get fantastic images, it helps to build a familiarity with your photographer. This typically will make the wedding day sessions much more relaxed and comfortable. Engagement sessions are customized to the couple’s personality, and can take place anywhere and everywhere.

Here are just a few of my favorites of the afternoon.

Mary Blake and Raymond are getting married in May of 2010. Had a great time shooting their e-session. Very fun couple and bound to be a very fun wedding.  Here are some e-session pics…

Amanda and Jason are getting married in 2010 and decided to do a fun engagement session. This is something I always recommend to couples as it is great practice for the wedding day. A level of comfort is built between the couple and the photographer which really shows in the results. The nice thing about having a studio in NoDa is that you are just a short walk away from endless interesting shooting opportunities.

Here are a few we came up with….
