duke gardens engagement photography – margo & patrick

A couple of weekends back, I got to spend a few hours in the company of these two lovely people as we took a stroll around the Sarah P. Duke Gardens and West Campus at Duke. It was a pretty warm day and the gardens were slammed with multiple weddings and prom-goers having their photos taken. We did our best to slip the crowds and find our own little areas for some privacy and room to shoot and experiment in. Margo & Patrick were great fun and I’m really looking forward to their Duke Chapel wedding in a couple of months.

We took a lot of great pics and it was hard to narrow if down, but here are just a few of my faves from the shoot…
