When Maranda reached out to me to capture her engagement photos and said she wanted to go super retro with it, by renting a classic car and taking them at a motel I was so down. Honestly anything with a theme just gets my creative brain surging. So when we went to Carolina Beach for a friends bach party, it was the perfect time to get this shoot together. We started at the Starlite Inn right near the boardwalk. I wanted it to sort of feel like a music video (robbers anyone?) with them running off into the distance, and using the car as much as possible. Of course they wanted to incorporate their adorable son into the photos, and share a milkshake at an adorable diner down the street.

As with all my photography I try to incorporate movement and a documentary style. How they would act if they really were driving off into the sunset together, Bonnie and Clyde style. And while we are talking about style, this white on white look that Maranda was wearing was absolutely fire, and a great way subtly give off bride energy.
