Charleston Lindy Exchange!

This past weekend I had the pleasure of attending one of my favorite dance weekends in Charleston, SC. I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of last years event so this one had quite high expectations. I of course had a ton of fun and got to dance plenty enough. I wasnt feeling the phototaking on Friday night though.. not sure what was up. But it did allow me to dance more on Friday :)

Here are a few of my favorites from the weekend including some cute ones of Neil and I before the night dances. We stopped at South of the Border on our way through.

I found these sweet cheetah sunglasses in one of the souvenir shops. They are AWESOME!

 

So for some strange reason I made this black & white. Although it was meant to be in color. The theme for CHEX this year was "Its no place like home" and there was a Wizard of Oz themed dance on Friday. I dressed as the yellow brick road and Shawna there was Glinda(and a darn good one too!.) So.. im laying there as the yellow brick road and she's walking.. yeah.. way better in color though..

Obligatory bridge photo :)

Neil took a few photos of me before the dance

and I took some of him :)

The Soloman Douglas Swingtet played an awesome show!

Then Jeremy played "Shout!" and everyone went crazy. Its funny what happens after 3am. :)

and this is one of the last shots we took before heading home, me and some of my favorite Orlando ladies!

For all of the photos from this weekend you can find them on my proofing site. GO HERE!

To everyone that had any part of putting on this weekend you rock!

Joie & Cody are Engaged! | Raleigh Wedding Photographer

I got to meet up with a super awesome couple yesterday. Jessy and Lainey are so super cute. As soon as she got out of their car with red cowboy boots on I knew I was going to like them. They wanted something different for engagement photos and I was super excited to shoot that for that very same reason. They are getting married next June and she's planning a wedding while she's in graduate school. I think thats awesome and very stressful all the same. Im not sure I could do it in normal schooling. So... go you Lainey! 

We met up at the NC Arts Museum in Raleigh. I had never been so it was neat seeing all the sculptures even if they are just random pieces of "art" laying around on the ground.

Jessy likes to jump. I didnt even have to ask them to. I love jumping!

They both went to NC State. Isnt that vintage tie cool?

Lainey let me borrow her GORGEOUS ring while they were changing outfits.

Oh man! Isnt it pretty.. and huge!?

Jessy stuck her ring in a raisin bran cereal box and that's how he proposed. How cute!

The lens flair here was really weird. As I was taking these photos I saw the rainbow-ness in them and thought... this is not normal. Lainey had set up the pinwheel and the sun was doing some cool stuff to it.

You two are fun! I like yall. Thanks for inviting me to spend a few hours with you!
