Miranda & Brad said they’ve never had professional photos taken before, but I don’t know if I believe them, because they absolutely killed it! Fort Fisher came through with the perfect light as usual. It’s the perfect weather to book those engagement sessions! Reach out for availability!

When the sunset light hits just right. Despite the warmth of these images, it was quite cold this day, that’s the beauty of photography.
