We would like to congratulate our good friends, The Dessert Divas, on their article in the latest Wilma Magazine! They make the most delicious cakes imaginable! At a recent event, I overheard a woman exclaim after one bite of cake, "Oh! This is simply divine!". What an excellent description! Their cakes and desserts are divine! I had the pleasure of photographing the Divas and one of their cakes for the magazine article. We had so much fun, so I thought I would showcase the article. Take a look at the other cakes the Divas have made recently on their blog and don't forget to call them for cakes for any occasion! (910) 399-6276 or (910) 599-1290.

If you saw Annie's engagement photos you already know that the camera loves her. She is one of those people who is effortlessly graceful and everything she does looks pretty. These are some of the many beautiful bridal photos we took of her at Orton Plantation Gardens and Bellamy Mansion.

I discovered that the angel in the Landfall Gardens is really meant to hold a bouquet of flowers! I decided he should always have a bouquet and someone should be in charge of replenishing them on a regular basis! Ha Ha! Anyway, I also learned that gerbera daisies look fantastic with a little mum pined in the center of the flower. The talented, Miss Wendy of A Beautiful Event designed this fantastic bouquet for our lovely bride Misty. Misty really wanted to capture the beauty of the azaleas in her bridal portraits. The gardens at Landfall are the perfect backdrop!

So, sometimes my job is all about fun. I'll admit it! This spring we attending the Sweet and Sassy Open House Party as one of the sponsors. We set up a backdrop and took free photos of the girls at the party. It was super fun- nothing cuter than little girls. Being a 'girly girl' myself- it is just the kind of thing that I would have loved as a child. Well, also as a big kid too. We even took our own photos!

If you have never been to a Sweet and Sassy store, it is worth the trip. It is all about hair, nails, and dress up. The girls even have a runway to strut their stuff! They have birthday parties for little girls and even big grown up girls too! We loved being there with some of my favorite ladies, The Dessert Divas! Their cakes are seriously fantastic and they were passing out samples! Hmmm! Very tempting. I'll have to admit their cakes are addicting, and I had a few cupcakes throughout the afternoon. The Divas surprised me at the end of the party with the lovely mermaid cake! What a treat!

Annie and Brian are a refreshingly cute couple. They are so fun and sweet together that it made our job easy. We took their engagement photos at Wrightsville Beach this spring. Annie wore a great color for the beach and some awesome jewelry as well. We love a girl who can accessorize.

We started off the wedding season this year with the beautiful wedding of Meredith and Patrick. The wedding took place in Meredith's home town of Warsaw, NC and the reception was held at the Boar's Head Restaurant Banquet Hall in Wallace. The wedding guests were long time family friends, so the party was a major focus of the day. Meredith and Patrick wanted to spend as much time as they could enjoying their guests' company. The reception was decorated in a very elegant way with flowers designed by Wendy of A Beautiful Event

We took Michelle and Alex's engagement photos in downtown Raleigh on a perfect spring day. Love the blooming tulips and bright spring colors! Engagement photos are such an excellent way for the couple and the photographer to get to know each other and have a chance to work together before the wedding. Look for Michelle and Alex's wedding photos to be posted as I edit away! They had a beautiful wedding at Duke Chapel a few weeks ago! Congratulations you two!

We LOVED taking beautiful bridal portraits of Katie at the Bellamy Mansion in downtown Wilmington! She was 'all things gorgeous' right down to her super cool shoes! Her beautiful dress is from the A Carolina Wedding Bridal Salon. Our favorites were taken on the porch overlooking the blooming trees.

Our adorable couple Kelly and Rob did their engagement photo shoot at Wrightsville Beach. We loved how they brought a few different options for wardrobe. You never know what will look just right until you're there so it's nice to be able to do a quick change mid-shoot if something just isn't working or to just to add variety.

Jodi was planning a beach wedding last year when we took her bridal portraits on Wrightsville Beach. Her beautiful beach wedding at Topsail Island was last weekend so now we can share these with you. She and her now husband, Lee, love the beach and boating. Even their engagement photos were taken on the beach. The gorgeous location fits her personality perfectly. It was a beautiful day and we had so much fun with her. Our deepest congratulations to Jodi and Lee.
