Duke university engagement session – scarlett & zack

I closed out the autumn portrait session season with these two lovebirds for their Duke University engagement session. Scarlett & Zack will be tying the knot at Duke Chapel in the spring, so it made sense to head over there (via Duke Gardens) to make some pictures. Here are just a few of my faves from the shoot. You can probably guess I’m looking forward to Scarlett’s bridal session already!
