Ellen contacted me many months ago and booked a bridal session with me for next year. At that time she mentioned she would love to also book an engagement session but didn’t think she’d be able to talk her fiance Jeremy into 2 hours of having someone pointing a camera at him:) Well, a couple months later and here they are… one of the sweetest couples to date!

Ellen wanted some shots with a covered bridge and we found one nearby in Davidson at Antiquity.

I thought Jeremy looked familiar when they first got out of the car… we later realized we had worked at different areas of Tweetsie Railroad at the same time during college!

The leaves on the Davidson College campus were so bright while we were there!

Beth & Daniel are getting married at the Burgaw, NC Train Depot in June and I can’t wait. The Burgaw Train Depot was recently remodeled to be used for events and I think they’ve done a great job and it’s going to be really unique.

It was only fitting that we start their engagement session around the Burgaw, NC Train Depot and the original Caboose of the Wilmington & Weldon Railroad Line.

I have been dying to take a few engagement images in this little nook of Burgaw for over a year! I could have stayed here for the whole session if we weren’t trying to make it to Topsail Beach before sunset;)

Then we headed off to Topsail Beach at Surf City for the rest of their engagement session. They spend a lot of time vacationing here.

The pier was the crowdest I’ve ever seen it with fisherman trying to catch some Spot during what was apparently the last big weekend for Spot fishing:) My parents were actually just walking off the pier after a day of fishing as we were walking on. Dad caught a Spanish Mackerel and grilled it for me when I got home. BEST FISH EVER!
