duke university engagement photography session – jordan & matt

Early on Christmas Eve, I met up with Jordan and Matt for coffee and a chat before heading out into the cold, sunny winter air for some Duke University engagement photography shenanigans around the Duke campus.

Despite the frosty temperatures, it was a lovely day for shooting. The grounds were deserted and the light was gorgeous, so we took our time to explore and find some places to have fun, experiment and get some cool shots.

Jordan and Matt were a fab couple to hang out with and I am really looking forward to their Duke Chapel wedding later in the summer!

Here are my picks of the pics.
