Jaque, a sweet southern gal and Bruce from Australia, are scheduled to be married this September. They had their heart set on a sunset engagement session over Lake Norman, but the weather had other plans. The fog was so thick you could barely see through it. Jacque wanted to shoot despite the inclement weather and I was excited that she was willing to brave the elements. Any time these is something out of the ordinary as in the less than perfect weather or a new fun location, I get excited to shoot because I love different.
