Okay, let’s face it. I’m a sucker for rooftops. And with Downtown Raleigh constantly building new ones there are so many perspectives to choose from. Alissa & Amanda told me that they really wanted rooftop photos. They wanted to feel immersed in the city and this session did not disappoint.

These two met in Florida and relocated to the Raleigh area about three years ago. They had planned for a 2020 wedding with friends and family but when the pandemic showed up things changed. Sure they didn’t plan on getting married at a detention center but you know what, we made the most of it. They Zoom’d their friends and family who got to witness the ceremony under the shaded trees (which was much needed considering that it was a high of 94 that afternoon)

Before the festivities began we went to Dorothea Dix park to get comfortable in front of the camera and take some impromptu engagement photos (which are at the bottom of this post and so stinking cute)
