Liz & Matt... Where do we begin...

These two sweet people have been together for some years now & I was lucky enough to document the next step in their love story.

These two kind-hearted souls bid on a session with me which I had donated to the Bottoms Up Comedy Fest in support of Cancer Research & the Yvette W. Ferris Foundation.

It took almost a year to get them scheduled, but as a true believer of "Everything Happens for a Reason", the most perfect day awaited us when I shot these two at Freedom Park in the heart of Charlotte, NC.

As you can see, they are just gorgeous, inside & out.

They had everyone in the park watching as well as hooting & hollering at them with every kiss!

It was such a fun afternoon filled with laughter & smiles <3

They'll be celebrating their wedding day in Lima, Peru next March.

Wish them some love on their journey!

Thought I'd share a few images from our adventures at the Riverbanks Zoo. 

If you haven't been yet, it's an absolute must.

It was such a fun experience & it was the most spotless zoo I've ever been to! 

The animals were so active, we just couldn't believe it! 
The lion & the lioness were just a little too active, if you catch my drift ;)
Sent an entire elementary school class running away squealing... but I digress :)

This would be my little one, Darby Grace. So excited about her first trip to the zoo!
