As we have all experienced, this past year was a challenging year, to say the least. It pretty much dried up inquiries for certain fields and services. It did for my Wedding and Engagement session inquiries. Consequently, as you can imagine, I was excited when Lauren contacted me earlier this year about her and Marcus’ wedding. I met with them on Zoom to show them my work and discuss their plans and what they wanted. A few weeks later, they emailed me to confirm and they signed their contract. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I set up a time for a mini-Engagement session with them and we met last Sunday evening to shoot in downtown Durham, their city (and my favorite downtown). \ud83d\ude42 I love downtown Durham and pretty much lived at the coffee shop, Beyu Caffe (and Cocoa Cinnamon) pre-COVID times. I really missed photographing couples and telling love stories. Anyway, I am getting distracted here. \ud83d\ude42 Here is a snippet of their Engagement Session below. Let me know what you think in the comments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
