The room is silent as she makes her way up the aisle. His back is turned, but he knows she’s coming. Her dress gets fluffed out, the veil lays perfectly, the lighting is magical, but we all know that he won’t see any of that. He’s going to see her face. Her beauty. Love reflecting […]

The ease in which Morgan and Zach interact with each other is truly something special. They met with me at Wilson Park in Fayetteville for their engagement session and it was immediately obvious to me how comfortable they are together.

Imagine this: you’re speed walking through Epcot trying to get in line to meet Aurora before the rest of the crowds line up when you pass by familiar faces. Like stop you in your tracks, can’t believe I just ran into you here, Disney magic is REAL. Ok, ok, it’s not quite THAT dramatic since […]
