Charlotte Engagement Photography: Melissa and Dan

Charlotte Engagement Photography: Vanessa and Josh

We had a picture-perfect fall day for Vanessa and Josh’s engagement session at Freedom Park in Charlotte.

Vanessa is a very close friend of my niece Melissa (Missy to our family), and it was great getting to […]

Engagement Photos: Alison and David
