Lucas Puts a Ring on Rachael

While I was visiting my family and friends in Colorado a couple of weeks ago I had the honor (and joy) of getting to photograph my friend Lucas proposing to his (now) fiancee Rachael!  My friend Andrea and I tried to sneakily follow them up Mount Evans, passing gorgeous mountain views as we made our way, until Lucas pulled over at a pre-arranged spot and climbed a huge rock with Rachael to “show her the view.”  I got out of the car on the other side and walked around trying to look nonchalant and pretending to take pictures of the scenery.  I walked closer and then started snapping away when I saw Lucas reach back into the camera bag he was wearing on his belt and pull out a little red box…

She has no idea what is about to happen.

The view.

She still doesn’t know…

This is the part where she says yes.  :)

Engaged!!

Sarah + Chris = Going to the Chapel

I met Chris and Sarah after I moved to Charlotte and they have quickly become two of my favorite people.  I remember meeting Sarah at a small group meeting for our church, she came up and introduced herself under the pretext that we had seen each other around all the time but had not met and it was just too awkward to keep seeing me and not say hi haha!  They are such great, straight forward, no-nonsense, high quality people and I’m so excited to see them get married!  I know that incredible, world changing things are going to come from this couple and I can hardly wait to see their story continue to unfold!  I’m so glad that I got to have a little part in it!  Without further ado, I give you, Chris & Sarah!

If you want to see more photos from this engagement session you can check out their album on my Emily Lewin Photography Facebook Page!

Maggie & Vinny

My dear friends Maggie and Vinny!  Their story is one of patience and long lasting love.  Maggie is a singer and songwriter with a voice like honey and Vinny is one of those men who can do anything.  Together they are quite a pair!  Since these photos were taken they’ve gotten married and are now expecting a baby!  Such dear friends and I’m so glad that they are together at last.  Here is a little sneak peek of their sweet love!

Go! STOP. Goooooo. Stop. Aaaaaand…go!

I was looking at my blog today feeling it’s mournful lack of updates and thinking about all the reasons why I hadn’t posted.  Here’s a brief rundown of a few of the things I’ve been up to since my last post.  More extended posts of all these “previews” are coming soon!

Attended the MorningStar University Graduation

Traveled home from Charlotte.

Stopped for a wee bit, had a fantastic birthday party – complete with a creative mustache making competition…

Went to Seattle…

To help my dear friend Luz get married…

Luz & Cole were married on Saturday and then my friend Kendra got married to Jake on Sunday in Arvada, Colorado.  Yes I had two weddings in two days in two states.

That brought me home in time to shoot engagement photos for Leigh and Mike…

And accomplish a challenging wedding day photography assignment for Ryan & Christy.

Now I’m back in North Carolina with my mom to have a little vacay at the beach with our extended family on her side!

I’m still running my Summer Portrait Specials through the end of August and then I’m moving to Charlotte, North Carolina!   As you can tell my schedule books up fast so call or email soon to schedule your time with me!
