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.

Great pictures
I really like some of the compositions but the bokeh intruding on the face doesn’t really appeal to me.
Give up.
Nice work!
Thanks so much Vince!
Excellent work!
Thanks Easton!
You got some really incredible photos Crystal! You should be very proud! The fog definitely worked in your favor, I think. Creates a bit of depth and dimension that you can’t get without it.
Beautiful set of photos.
Beautiful pictures but the 4th one is stellar, in my humble opinion. Tree branch framing the couple on a wood dock, with fog, a reflective lake, and eery bridge in the background? Brilliant!!
awesome shoot!
Amazing shoot Crystal!
Justin – thanks so so much! <3
