This past summer I had the absolute JOY of spending an evening with Briel and Lance. They chose to do a WRAL Gardens Summer Engagement Session in downtown Raleigh! Lance proposed to Briel while they were horseback riding in Hawaii, HOW COOL.

She mentioned how helpful it was having my style guide for planning out her engagement session and choosing outfits! They definitely listened to all my tips and tricks that I have PACKED in my style guide for my couples! Their outfits were perfect for their session and she even used Wedded Kiss for her hair and makeup! She was able to find the perfect dress for her engagement photos on Amazon too!!

At the end of my style guide I include a checklist of things to remember. My latest and greatest tip is to plan a special date night for the two of you after photos! You are already dressed up for the perfect date, so extend the evening into dinner! Lance surprised Briel afterwards with reservations to a steakhouse to close out the night 🙂

I am so honored to have been their engagement photographer, and I know their wedding day will be absolutely beautiful! Enjoy some of my favorites from their WRAL Gardens Summer Engagement Session in Raleigh, NC!
