There’s something so special about photographing couples who are deeply in love—and even more so when their personalities shine through every frame. Sarah and Natalie’s downtown Raleigh engagement session was full of laughter, love, and the perfect pop of playful charm, thanks to one adorable accessory: heart-shaped glasses! These little personal touches make engagement photography in downtown Raleigh, NC so unique. Every couple brings something different.

Though they currently live in New York, Sarah and Natalie are saying “I do” right here in Raleigh at the beautiful Market Hall—a venue that perfectly blends history and elegance in the heart of the city. It made perfect sense to capture their engagement photos where their love story will continue to unfold.
