Raffaldini Vineyards Engagement Session with Two Dogs and Chic Outfits

Blair and Cannon’s Raffaldini Vineyards engagement session has to be one of my top favorites ever and I’m SO excited to share! This session was so much fun to photograph! Blair and Cannon won a giveaway that I was a part of with some of my closest Charlotte wedding vendor friends. They won a free engagement session, which we chose to do at Raffaldini Vineyards. She and Cannon wound up booking me for their wedding day in March at the Duke Mansion as well and I literally cannot wait!!

Raffaldini Vineyards Engagement Session

Blair and Cannon are a literal blast (pun 100% intended!) and have the most fun together. I absolutely adore Blair’s style. She’s a little firecracker (appropriate, since she’s marrying a Cannon… another pun 100% interned, but I swear I’m done now). Blair chose two super cute outfits for our time at the vineyards and both were just perfect. I always love when my clients put in effort to help style their portraits. Blair’s fun hat made a great prop in the first half of our session, along with some delicious wine and glasses from Raffaldini Vineyards. Blair and Cannon also brought their two sweet pups to their session. I LOVED getting to meet them! They’re so cute and were super well-behaved for us. And I mean, how cute are their bow ties?! For the second half of the session, Blair wore a beautiful little black dress that looked incredible against the stone building and among the vines.

Blair and Cannon, thank you for trusting me with your memories! It was truly an honor – and a great time – working with you both for these gorgeous engagement portraits. I can’t wait to see you all again in just a few short months… even if I have to miss Duke playing UNC in basketball. If you know me, that’s a pretty big deal – so it’s got to be obvious by now that Blair and Cannon are something special that I’d miss that game to photograph their wedding! 😉 I’m counting down the days, you two! Congratulations again. Enjoy this little look into their vineyard engagement session!
