Lauren + Chad's e-session at the Biltmore Estate

Since Gry grabbed the spotlight earlier this week I thought I'd post a couple of images from Lauren + Chad's e-session that I shot. . .well OK, so did Gry! Their wedding will be this September at the Biltmore Estate with Tara Jordan, owner of Weddings with Tara, planning all the details for them.

BTW, Tara and her husband Jonathan just had a beautiful baby girl, Pherson. There are some sweet images of Pherson and the three of them by created Libby Brady on Tara's blog.









Can't wait to see Lauren + Chad again on September 25th!

Have a great week!
