Alyse and Nathan Say "I DO" at Dandelion Market
Alyse and Nathan moved to DC for a new job opportunity. Before they moved, they threw a "going away" party a few days before Christmas. In the middle of the party, she made a secret exit to the downstairs bathroom of the cute pub for a quick wardrobe change. I met her here, grabbed a few shots of her getting ready, then ran upstairs to attempt to blend in with party-goers.
Nathan and Alyse's best friend officiated, and the little dark pub was lit up by their grins of excitement!
Here's a few of my favorites from this surprise elopement at Dandelion Market in Charlotte, NC!
Congratulations Alyse and Nathan!

I am so fortunate to be able to show and create artwork of the excitement of growing families. This mom and dad invited me along their journey of welcoming their daughter to their family. Our first session was their pregnancy announcement at Truist Park! Mom and dad are season ticket holders and big fans of the Atlanta Braves, so of course we visited Truist Park for their announcement!

It's important for a session to bring out goofy personalities and real connection. I encourage my clients to forget about having hair perfectly placed, forget about those staged and poised portraits, and simply have fun! The genuine smiles shine through, and the kids (and dads) don't leave the session feeling drained and irritated.

Little Archie came out booty first when Dr. Tia Guster began to pull him out. So glad his cute little face was my direction! Momma did an awesome job. I love photographing first breaths and their unique beginnings! The doctors at Piedmont Newnan OB-GYN really are an amazing supportive team to each other and their patients!
