we have the super-cute Carol & Wilson. We met up on Franklin Street in Chapel Hill recently for some engagement session fun & I LOVED that she wore her favorite blue vans to the shoot. I couldn’t resist telling her that my hubby had just bought the exact same ones! ;) These two are so laid back & a total blast to be around. We laughed our way through their session & I can’t wait for their wedding next May! Doesn’t Carol look like Liv Tyler’s hip, curly-haired little sister?!

P.S. Guess who they booked for their wedding band?????

I had way too many favorites from this series to post them all, so I chose 7 & created this fun little animated gif file. I have it saved to my desktop to click on anytime I’m feeling stressed & it instantly cheers me up :)

  1. This reminds me of my kid shoot yesterday… fall is such a fun season! Love it! :-)

  2. wow…awesome! can’t say much else right now. [father of the bride].

  3. Wow! Great work as always Kellie! What a beautiful young lady and a lucky young man! Love the black and white and very cool how in the garage shot there is a light that appears to radiate at the exact spot their hands are joined (must be the light of love). :-)

  4. So overcome with excitement about the pictures that I can hardly stand it!! You captured the true spirit of Wilson and Carol’s love-True and Fun! Of course, as the mother of the bride, I am partial to the closeups of Carol (with the ring shot and the kissy one!) But the one that really shows the true Carol is the one with her teasing Wilson and pulling him down the street. Thank you!! (Love the gallery- how will we ever choose?)

  5. These are awesome. Carol and Wilson look so happy…and I am so happy for them!

  6. As the grandmother of the bride and Nana to most of the family, how can I say how pleased and happy I am to see such great pictures ! Carol and Wilson are two of my favorite people and their love shows in all the pictures!
