Kendra & Jason's Mr. & Mrs. Session the Day After: New Bern Portrait Photographer

Here is Kendra & Jason's day after Mr. & Mrs. Session I promised to post. How awesome is this to photograph.  I just LOVE doing these.  Basically you get up the next day and get right back in your duds (yes ladies you get to wear the dress twice! Three times if you had a bridal portrait!)  and go out and spend the morning shooting.  This is so much fun and stress free and no worries about what you did or didn't have time to do on the day of the wedding.  And if you want to keep your hair down versus up on the day of the ceremony then you can have a little of both.   Kendra and Jason you guys did GREAT!!! I had a VERY hard time narrowing it down to just these and facebook will have even more!

Kendra & Jason Dream Wedding: Whitford Plantation Wedding Photographer New Bern NC

What an amazing wedding.  There were so many special moments to photograph.  Although the wedding was absolutely beautiful what was the most beautiful was how the bride and groom never lost for a minute that it was about them getting married and not the cake, flowers or having everything run perfectly.  (Because it never really does.)  ;  )  A true testament to the bride is how she reacted to a very close family member who got lost on the way to the ceremony.  The bride knowing this special person would be very sad at missing the ceremony waited for her to attend.  I know all the guests felt the same way knowing how special this person was to her and the family.  During the ceremony when the bride and groom exchanged rings the bride got so excited.  MORE excited than normal.  She was laughing and smiling as he put the ring on her.  Evidently the ring was not supposed to be ready in time for the ceremony but SOMEHOW the groom made it happen.  So she was very surprised when he put it on her finger.  Next (and this one made us all cry) the groom had sold an old camero that he had personally restored to help in putting down the down payment for their first home together.  The bride and groom had decided to do a rose petal exit after the ceremony. Can you guess what was waiting outside for them? THE CAMERO!  The bride had bought it back for him!  Amazing... And lastly during the toasts a groomsman whom I we shot their wedding a couple of years ago presented the groom with a replica of the camero that the groom sold knowing how important that car was to him. Obviously he didn't know the bride had bought it back but still so thoughtful!   A GREAT group of people.  I absolutely LOVED photographing this wedding but I am not sure which I loved more- the wedding photography or the day after session!  And I will be posting their Mr. & Mrs. Session the next day soon!  You will love it!

  

Little Baby S: Raleigh Infant Portrait Photographer

What a SWEET little baby.   And Mom was a lot of fun to hang out with too!  For a first time Mom she really seems to have it figured out.  RARE by the way, so don't feel bad if you don't.  This little guy really seemed to love having his picture taken too.  He didn't seem to mind at all awake OR asleep! 

A Little Experiment... Raleigh Family Photographer

I always love shooting with other photographers because it means I get to hang back and play a little with the camera versus directing the clients and playing with the camera.  This was one of those shoots.  One of my assistants who is starting out on her own a little did this shoot for some friends of hers.  She didn't REALLY need me there.  I think it just made her feel better.  But I certainly had a good time and loved the shots I got and played around a little too.  Thanks Liz!  It was fun as always!

Sweet Baby Girl F: Raleigh Baby Photographer

What a little cutie!  I just LOVE photographing babies.  I have two of my own but they aren't this size anymore so this is the only way I can get my baby fix!  She was so sweet and cuddly.  Nothing like a little baby love!  Thanks Mom and Baby F.
