The JC Raulston Arboretum is such a unique spot for engagement photographs, especially since it’s located in heart of NC States Campus. All of the different gardens have something for everyone to enjoy and are diverse in their landscape. From the Asian Valley, to the Color Trails and the Xeric Garden you can’t help but be in awe of all the time and effort that has been put into making each location so beautiful! It was definitely a great location for Bailey and Andrew’s engagement session. It would also be a sweet place for a wedding too!

Enjoy this gorgeous engagement session with these two cuties!

The palm trees in the last images made for the perfect backdrop and we loved the texture of them. They danced and laughed as they held each other close. It was so hard to choose between the black and white images vs the color images for that set. The color images are just as beautiful as the black and whites. But black and whites evoke so much emotion we think and the way the light hit on their faces was lovely.  We loved capturing Bailey and Andrew’s engagement session here at the JC Raulston Arboretum and it makes us so excited for the wedding next year!
