A Captivating Engagement Session at Holden Beach for Amanda and Jerry

For college sweethearts Amanda and Jerry, their story brought them to the picturesque shores of Holden Beach. They decided to capture their love in a light-hearted engagement session during their family vacation. Traveling to fun locations like the beach make us so excited! When we get to travel to create beautiful images for our clients, it makes us fall in love with our job even more.

Holden Beach – a Classic Engagement Session Location

Holden Beach, with its pristine shores and classic vacation vibes, became the backdrop for Amanda and Jerry’s engagement session. While Amanda has lots of nostalgia for this vacation spot, it was no secret that Jerry wasn’t the biggest fan of sandy shores. However, love often moves us to embrace new experiences, and for Jerry, that meant venturing into the world of sun, sand, and surf for the woman he adored.

A Musical Touch and Sweet Treat

Jerry, a talented music major, wanted to incorporate his passion into their engagement session. With his beloved guitar in hand, he strummed sweet melodies, serenading Amanda amidst the soothing sounds of crashing waves. The harmonious blend of their love and Jerry’s heartfelt tunes created an atmosphere that spoke volumes about their connection.

As the sun painted the sky with warm hues, Amanda and Jerry decided to take a leisurely walk up the beach, hand in hand. Their journey led them to an adorable ice cream shop, where they indulged in their favorite flavors. The vibrant colors surrounding the shop offered a lively contrast to the beach’s serene palette, infusing their session with a fun and playful pop of color.

They laughed and played in the surf, their carefree spirits intertwining with the salty breeze. As the waves gently caressed the shore, the couple found themselves wrapped in each other’s arms, their love on display for the world to see. Jerry strummed his guitar once more, creating a melodic backdrop to their heartfelt embrace.

We're Josh & Alisha

Just two lovebirds, enjoying everyday life.

Photographers. Artists. Creatives. Parents to two. Nerds. Foodies. Lovers. Friends.

We have been friends since 2006, married since 2008, and capturing memories through photography since 2010. The years of experience in all three make us uniquely qualified to tell your budding love story. If the years have taught us anything, its that fulfilling, long-lasting marriages have a foundation of friendship, and are built with joy - and perhaps quite a few carbs! 

We strive to help you feel confident during your big day, and not awkward or stressed - so you can look back on joyful memories that tell your love story.

MORE ABOUT US

Hi! I'm Alisha!

I'm so excited you're here! 

In addition to being a lady-boss photographer, I am a wife, a mom, a teacher and a follower of Jesus. Those things are the center of everything about who I am, what I do, and how I do it. That means I believe in how important family is, whether you are just starting your own, or are celebrating all of those special milestones. Josh and I have been married for over 12 years and photographing weddings and families for over 10 of those years. Our style has evolved over time, but we love capturing images that are bright, colorful, and tell the most important story - yours!

When we are not shooting, I love going on adventures with our two beautiful girls, trying new recipes, or catching up on my favorite shows with my hubby.

MORE ABOUT US

Hi! I'm Josh!

I want to capture your day!

Having the opportunity to live in a town as beautiful as Kernersville, NC is great. Being able to be here with Alisha is even better. I've been married over twelve years to the love of my life and for most of that time we have worked closely as wedding photographers. Because of this, we have a unique outlook on the wedding experience. Having the opportunity to find the joy and love in that special day and share it with you and your family and friends is the best thing about what I do. That's why I never miss getting a photo of the groom's face when he sees his bride for the first time.

When I don't have a camera in my hands, I enjoy coffee dates and car-sushi with my bride, board games before bed, and binge watching Netflix.
