North Carolina Arboretum Engagement Session (Dali & Ricky)

Going to North Carolina has become almost a yearly thing for our family. We really enjoy our visits there! We love the mountains, the scenery, the climate, the wineries and breweries we seem to always visit. I met Dali & Ricky through close friends during one of those visits. I knew from the very beginning that these two had something special.

Ricky & Dali first met back when they were kids. Life for them took different paths as they grew up. They never would of guessed that they would end up later reconnecting, falling in love, and marrying each other. They are both such sweet and caring individuals. I truly enjoyed being able to document their love story!

Their engagement session and wedding day were only a few days apart. So needless to say, it was the most exciting, fun packed, busy, and exhausting few days! We headed to The North Carolina Arboretum for their engagement session. This is an absolutely beautiful botanical garden, filled with stunning view, gorgeous gardens, and lush walking trails, We were fortunate to have a non-rainy day since the previous days had been cloudy and drizzling. The sun peeked out for a bit and it was a chilly and breezy afternoon. Wait, let me rephrase that…. it was absolutely freezing!!! But Dali & Ricky rocked their session and made the cold look cozy and warm!
