hello my friends!  thanks for tuning in today to view allison & ethan’s engagement photos.  for this session we went out to lake norman.  allison’s parents own a charming lake house that worked perfect for our vision.  cortenay matters, of carolina wedding design, and kymm mclean, of who’s the fairest, were there to style & make our lovely allison up to perfection!

since ethan proposed to allison out in las vegas, we thought it would be super fun to have them play some poker with some of the chips they have collected along their journeys.  i wish i had their collection, so much fun!!!  next, allison & ethan love to listen to old records together, which i think is utterly dreamy. (i remember pulling out my record player as a kid and listening to one of my favs, the monkees…i love the scratch scratch scratch of an old record player…but i digress.  )  we ended out the session by going outside and playing in the water…well…on allison’s dad’s speedboat…it was a BEAUTY!!!  as the sun was setting we captured some stunning photos…the light was incredible!

just WAIT til you see allison’s bridals, and their SMASHING wedding…both will knock your socks off!!!  til then, hang tight and as always, thanks for checking out my work guys…much love to you allison & ethan…and my blogdom peeps!!!

xoxo…t
