I’m thrilled to share the stunning engagement session of Kari and Ryan at a beautiful azalea garden! As they prepare to say “I do” in less than nine months at St. Vincent, we captured their love story amidst the breathtaking beauty of one of Raleigh’s most iconic locations.

The day was perfect for an outdoor shoot—warm sunshine, a gentle breeze, and the garden in full bloom. The azalea garden set the stage for some truly memorable moments. It’s a place that perfectly reflects the couple’s vibrant personalities and the love they share.

The most fun part about this session…. when a raccoon decided to make an appearance and get stuck in the trash can. Ryan helped the little guy out and helped him escape. Not a dull moment during this session and we are counting down the days until their wedding in St. Vincent and Grenadines in April! Enjoy their beautiful engagement photos!
