She said YES! Michael & Leandra

Happy Wednesday
friends! Can you believe that it is the middle of August already!? Neither can we! But we do have some exciting news coming up on the blog, a wedding! We had the pleasure of shooting Michael and Leandra's engagement portraits not too long ago (which we will be showing off today). We are excited to be a part of their big day on Saturday!

Michael and Leandra will be tying the knot at the Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens with the reception to follow in the Tea Room. Their engagement portraits turned out amazing, and we expect nothing less of their wedding! As you can see they have amazing chemistry on the camera. We can't wait to hear them say "I do! Stay tuned to see their beautiful wedding!

Things we're loving Friday!

We decided that since you guys (the fantastic readers!) give us insight in to your personal lives by letting us capture you on camera, we wanted to do the same. Every Friday we are going to post the things we love right now, no matter how silly! Feel free to comment the things that you're loving right now too! 

Eos Chapstick! Even though it looks weird,           Coincidentally, we all have  

 it's a go to for chapped lips around here.             iPhone's!

Another coincidence, we all drive Toyota's! :)            Although it probably has a                                                                        whole bag of sugar in it, 

                                                                       sweet Tea holds a soft                                                                              spot in our hearts <3

 Sometimes we need a little extra caffeine  

in our morning routine. Our favorite orders 

are: Venti 6 Pump Soy No Water Chai, and 

Cinnamon Dolce Iced Coffee.

Senior Spokesmodel: Sami

We are so excited to introduce you to one of our beloved senior spokesmodels, Sami Davis!

Her boyfriend, Josh thought up an ingenious plan to ask her to prom, and Good Morning America decided to step in and help out! Here at Perfect Image, Sami has always been a celebrity in our book :) As you can tell, Sami was SO easy to capture on film. Sami as was a perfect choice as a spokesmodel this year.

Senior Spokesmodel: Chalin

A few months ago we chose Chalin to represent us as a spokesmodel from Atlee High School. Right from the get go we knew he was going to be a perfect fit! This senior is involved with everything! Football in the fall, lacrosse in the spring, spending time being a role model in the community, who couldn't love that!? Chalin was very easy to photograph and made the session go by very quickly. After finishing the indoor session, we set out the the Fairly's river house! What a treat! Initially we wanted to get out there for the sunrise, but since it rained the night before it was more overcast than we hoped. Despite the unlucky weather,  Chalin still shined! 

Here are a few more of our favorites!

 

Attention Seniors at Atlee High!! Want to save on YOUR awesome senior portraits like Chalin's? Ask him how!

Hello all!

It's that time of year again, weddings everywhere! We will tell you this much, the only thing better than a beautiful wedding, is a beautiful wedding with beautiful weather! We had the pleasure of capturing the love and vows of Julia and Vincent a few weeks ago, back in June. Joined by their friends and family, Julia and Vincent said their "I do's" and were ready to party the night away! 

                                 

You can just see the love and happiness in their eyes! It warms our heart. Between the gorgeous weather, the beautiful ceremony, and the fun and laughter of the reception, we would say it has been another wedding success!!! Here at Perfect image, we are wishing the happy couple love, laughter & happily ever after-

Senior Spokesmodel: Hanna

Last month, we got together with Hanna Davis from Hanover High School. We captured so many beautiful images that it was hard to choose our favorites! Hanna is so easy to photograph, her smile just lights up the room. One of the best thing about photographing people is that you get to see all of the different facets of their personalities. Hanna looks so sweet in these images, yet she also has a sultry side! Wow, what a stunner. We are so very excited to have such fantastic Senior Spokesmodels! Here are a few more of our favorites:
