Joy-Filled Engagement Photos at Historic Oak View Park | Raleigh Engagement Photographer

The best engagement sessions happen when couples show up ready to just be themselves: goofy, relaxed, and just down to have fun together. That’s exactly how Bianca and Jalen rolled into their session. They showed up with open hearts and were ready to enjoy the experience without overthinking it. As a Raleigh engagement photographer, I love working with couples like this because when you’re open and relaxed, the photos will actually feel like you and your story.

Your Story Is About Connection, Not Poses

I’m not the photographer who’s going to give you a list of step-by-step poses or tell you exactly where to put your hands. Instead, I provide prompts that help you connect with each other so that we can capture those genuine moments of joy that unfold naturally when you’re together.

Bianca and Jalen got that memo. They came prepared with ideas but were also open to doing everything from riding piggyback through an open field and popping a bottle to toast to their upcoming elopement. More importantly, they trusted me to guide them through that journey. That kind of openness and connection is what makes photos feel alive and authentic.

What Being a Raleigh Engagement Photographer Means to Me

These are the types of sessions I’m drawn to, ones where we’re creating a visual depiction of your story together. As your Raleigh engagement photographer, I’m here to guide you, but mostly I’m here to catch the real, messy, and beautiful moments that make your love unique.

Bianca and Jalen’s engagement session was full of those moments, the kind that tell your story without needing a word. Whether we’re roaming around Raleigh or hanging out in the park during golden hour, it’s all about capturing you.
