I first met Ilea when I photographer her best friend’s wedding several years ago.  In fact, it was one of the first weddings I ever photographed on my own!  Since then, I’ve photographed Ilea’s family a few times, so I was thrilled when she asked me to photograph her upcoming wedding!

Ilea and Jason have known each other since Middle School!  They dated quite awhile ago and just last year, they reconnected again.  I’m so glad Ilea chose Pineland Farms as the location for their engagement shoot – it’s one of my favorite places to shoot!  This time of year, everything is in bloom, and there are beautiful greens everywhere you look!  When we arrived, the skies were very gray and cloudy, and I was a little concerned we wouldn’t be able to finish the session!  But the rain held out until we were done and we were able to capture some amazing pictures!  I can’t wait for their wedding in September!

Below, the ring on the left was Ilea’s grandmother’s ring, and the ring on the right is the ring that Jason proposed to Ilea with, another family heirloom 🙂
