Killjoy Cocktail Engagement

Killjoy Cocktail Engagement Photos

We met Joe & Colleen at Killjoy Cocktail bar in downtown Raleigh to start their engagement session. Then, once the sun was low enough in the sky that we weren’t going to immediately start sweating outside, we headed to the WRAL Azalea Garden for some more photos.

I’ve known Colleen for years (we met in a fitness class way back when I was still working as an attorney), and I’m excited to be photographing her & Joe’s wedding day. And look how great they look together:

There’s a reel on the Kivus & Camera instagram page that explains how I created this image of Colleen in the foreground and Joe seen reflected in the mirror above her head.

Meanwhile, this one is a pano stitch of 30 or so different frames.

Killjoy Cocktail has so many instagrammable spots, but one of the crowd favorites is this closet-sized room with wall to wall mirrors.

Time to head outside to golden hour!

I’ll leave you with a silly one. I love this statue in the garden!
