They had started their engagement with plans for a spectacular wedding in the mountains of Asheville, NC — the big dress, the dramatic reveal of a beautiful bride walking down the aisle, lots of guests, including their far-flung relatives from around the world. But somewhere along the way, Nikole started waking up in the night […]

There are lots of ingredients that go into a delectable engagement shoot — sweet light, creative ideas, lots of laughter, even more love. Kristy and Nick had all of those, and they have that whole love thing down. At one point, as they snuggled up in the middle of Charlotte Street during their St. Augustine […]
