Amy + Ryan

Amy and Ryan met at our church, Greenleaf Vineyard Church, fell in love, and knew they would be together forever. Their love for each other and Christ overflows and touches everyone they meet - whether they are serving at Homestart or opening their homes to friends for wine and game night! 

They were sooooo flexible and laid back! I was able to do a bunch of studying and practicing after taking pictures of Kristen and Ryan. So when it came to take A+R pics I felt much more confident! Amy and Ryan and I ventured around the arboretum chasing the sun! I loved being able to give them some special pictures before the big day!

Ryan also loves pterodactyls.

Getting back into the swing of things....

So I love taking photos of my friends and capturing those really special moments. I love editing photos in Lightroom and treating each picture like a painting. The hardest thing for me is being directive. I don't like to boss people around and it doesn't exactly work to say to a couple or family, "OK now, just, um, go?" So thank you to the countless family and friend who have allowed me the awkward pauses and have been so graciously patient.

One such couple was Kristen and Ryan - the most Godly, the sweetest, the most servant hearted couple in the world. We've known each other for years having all been apart of UNC's Every Nation campus ministry.

It had been a while since taking formal pictures but I wanted the experience and wanted to make them feel special... even if I could give them just one good picture together.

Thank you friends! A life long of happiness and joy!
