samantha & paul at the park

Blowing the dandelions was Samantha's idea...and we absolutely LOVE the spontaneity of it!

There were lots of snuggley moments between Samantha & Paul : )
Moments like these are the ones we love to catch!

The train tracks seemed symbolic of the journey they will face together... 

Sunday afternoon, Jen and I had the pleasure of spending some time with Samantha and Paul. They are a lovely, young couple, engaged to be married this coming June (06-07-08!)! They are also the first couple to book with us for their wedding photography! 

The couple chose Pullen Park, near NC State in Raleigh, as the location for their engagement shoot. It was very important to them to be somewhere outdoors, and this particular park had a personal  significance for Samantha. We enjoyed exploring the park with Samantha & Paul, from the ponds to the meadow-like grassy areas, and even the train tracks that ran along side. One of the perks about owning your own photography business is getting out to explore all the great places our clients bring us to.

We were so excited when we met Samantha and Paul a few months ago, and now after getting to spend more time with them we are really looking forward to their big day. The details are all falling into place with their planning, and from the sound of it Samantha and Paul have planned a wedding that is uniquely "them." Just as it should be!
