What a fun afternoon with Michelle & Sara at Duke Gardens! I was so excited when Michelle and Sara offered to take my family pictures. My husband, Patrick, and I had our engagement pictures taken at Duke Gardens 9 years ago! I have planned and coordinated several weddings there in the last few years, but was so thrilled to go back with our three children for a lifestyle family session. Take a peek at Michelle & Sara’s blog where you can see more pictures from our photo session and more of their beautiful work here!

Megan & Jake shared their vows with families and friends amidst the beach breeze in Wilmington. 

Lauren and Ricky were a joy to work with and plan their big day! We loved what they did for their centerpieces – they had vases with the guests name and table number on the empty vases. The guests then filled the vases with flowers and created their own centerpiece! It was so fun and also created a creative favor! We love a good first look and in the midst of Sarah P. Duke Gardens it created the most perfect backdrop! And how can you not love it when dogs are involved? SO cute! Congrats, Lauren & Ricky!
