Dorothy & David engagement shoot | Brian Mullins Photography | vintage car | Volkswagen Beetle | dogs

I am so excited to share some of the beautiful shots from our April 10, 2013 engagement shoot with Brian Mullins Photography. It took place at Harris Lake in New Hill, NC on a hot and sunny Wednesday afternoon, complete with an original 1965 Volkswagen Beetle straight from Germany. Top it off with some vintage suitcases, a handmade quilt, a picnic basket, and Grandmama's china, and this is what you get. We spent the latter part of the afternoon with our well-behaved dogs, Noah, Lamb, and Emery. They had been waiting patiently in an air-conditioned car until we were finished with the earlier part of the shoot. When it was time for them to join us, they wore their little save-the-date signs with pride and struck some (pretty darn cute) poses. We can't thank Brian enough for his flexibility, courtesy, and time during the shoot. Not only is he a genius when it comes to lighting and color, he knows how to angle the human body so that it looks its best. Special thanks to his wife, Ginger, who did an excellent job on my hair and makeup which did not whither or melt in the heat, and to Kate and Carey K. for lending us some of the props!
