Zack & Jemissa

Zack and Jemissa are friends with Jon and me and when they asked me to photograph their wedding, I was so excited! I'm sure I've said this before, but it's always a special treat to photograph my friends' weddings. :)

I met up with Zack and Jemissa a couple weeks ago to photograph some engagement portraits for them. It was a really hot afternoon, typical of our wonderful North Carolina, but Zack and Jemissa were troopers and did such a great job given how warm it was that day and they looked fabulous in their pictures.

We decided to meet up in Fred Fletcher Park first and then we moved to Moore Square downtown. We started off at a swing set and got some really cute pictures of the two of them goofing around on the playground.


Not everyone is into the "kissy" pictures, but I always like to get at least one. :) This one was my favorite of Zack and Jemissa. I love how Zack enveloped his arms around Jemissa.

I hadn't really taken any close up pictures before, so I wanted to try this out. My sister-in-law actually did a picture similar to this with her daughter (my cute little niece) and I thought it looked cool, so I wanted to try it out with Zack and Jemissa. What do you think?


This is when we switched things up and went to Moore Square for a different scene for our pictures. Zack is pretty much a goofball who is always trying to find some fun in everything. I had some really hilarious pictures of him picking Jemissa up like this, and this picture was my favorite. I think this was Zack's favorite picture of the day. :)


I like doing pictures where the couple kind of blends in with the background when we're in areas like this. I call these my "urban" style of pictures.


As our final spot for the day, Zack and Jemissa hopped up onto the newspaper stands in front of one of the restaurants at Moore Square. It was a really great afternoon, taking pictures of Zack and Jemissa. Check back in on the blog and I'll post their wedding pictures soon!
