Joanna and Shenduo tied the knot at a beautiful Duke Chapel wedding this past weekend. The weather for their wedding day couldn’t be any more different from last Tuesday’s when we headed out for Joanna’s bridal photography session around the campus at UNC Chapel Hill. Here are a few of my faves from the shoot!
