CHAPEL HILL ENGAGEMENT | MICHELLE + BRIAN

May 9, 2021

Michelle & Brian are northeast transplants currently living in Chapel Hill. And they must love the energy of the southeast/Smoky Mountains, because their destination wedding is taking place at the beautiful RT Lodge next fall, which is just over the Tennessee border for them. While we were in Charlotte, North Carolina documenting a beautiful wedding earlier this spring, we popped over to Chapel Hill to meet Michelle & Brian for the first time and take some engagement photos. P.S. How cool is this location? Brian is a runner and discovered these trails tucked away in the forest! We love love loved hanging out with them (how cute are they?!) and taking some beautiful photos in such an amazing location. We can’t wait for the wedding, y’all! We’ll be seeing you soon!

about us

we're shelley AND portugal

Before we were wedding photographers, we were just two kids in love. We met on Instagram and fell in love over FaceTime. A shared interest in roadkill portraiture is what brought us together (it’s a funny story), but what ultimately compelled us to take a chance on long-distance is the fact that we weren’t looking for surface-level. We craved a shared life full of connection, vulnerability, and the kind of love that changes you. Now we bring that same energy to your wedding day to capture the real story, not a performance.
