It’s Riggs Family vacation week!! With that being said, I am going to be taking some time this week to unplug from social media, and my business in general. As much as we have enjoyed loving on our #trcouples, we have had an insane couple of weeks loaded with car trouble and just life stress in general. So, we are stoked for a week of relaxation!! I’ll be back next week ready to share about our couples, our life, and of course lots of cute pictures of Oliver on the beach 🏝

We absolutely LOVED being able to spend the day with Josh, Emily, and their family and friends yesterday at @highgrovenc. These two are so in love with each other!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One of me and Christopher’s favorite moments is when Josh and Emily opened their gifts from one another! Another was their reception! They had one if the most fun receptions I’ve photographed yet! Check out my stories to see some more photos!

Christopher and I had such a good time hanging out at Scott and Becca’s alma mater yesterday evening!! They met during Becca’s senior year of college at NC State! I love how they chose a location that was sentimental to them for their engagement session! 💕🥰

Y’all today was a good, but slightly crazy day 😜Oliver had his four month appointment today. I could tell it was going to storm some kinda terrible on my way to the appointment, so of course, I got stuck behind the slowest moving construction vehicle 🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ So as I’m getting out of my car it starts thundering and lightening. The wind starts gusting all around me! I just knew I was going to get drenched any second. I was scrambling to get Oliver in his @babytula as fast as I possibly could. Once I did, I sprinted inside, and Oliver was looking at me like I was insane 😂

We made it inside, then the bottom completely fell out! Talk about great timing! ⛈ When we got upstairs to our office at @dukehealth , the lights kept flickering on and off. Turns out, a tree had fallen on a transformer and had caught fire right outside the office 😬 We had to have the doctor’s appointment in the dark! Oliver didn’t seem too phased by the excitement though 😂

The evening looked up though because we got to meet with a super sweet couple who is getting married next spring 🌸. One thing I love most about this job is getting to hear all about how people meet and fall in love 🥰It’s always so fun to hear their stories!

Anyways, how was your Tuesday?
