my five year old kept walking by when i was editing the gorgeous misty and he would say ‘princess…she so pretty’….i guess that is really all that needs to be said from the mouth of a five year old that only the truth comes from those small lips…misty and i walked along and at times…
LOVE this session! What a beautiful couple! Makes me excited to see their wedding photos…she will make a beautiful bride:-). Great job super-talented Aud!

Audra! Oh my! These are amazing. So amazing. What a beautiful couple and you have captured their relationship here on film.
I just love these, it is like a breath of fresh air looking at these photographs..the colors, the leaves, the kisses, the ease of them are wonderful.
speechless – thank you Audra. You’re the BEST!
Wonderfully done, cannot believe this was your second wedding ever. That is something to be really proud of. My second wedding did not look like this, let me tell you. Great job. Well done.
Audra these are fantastic! Love the one of the newlyweds in the horse drawn carriage! And whoever thought up the sparklers as a way to say goodbye to the happy couple was pure genius! Great lighting!!!
Audra, The pictures turned out perfect. I really love the black and white shots and the golf course shots are exquisite. I hope they enjoy them! I had a blast and hope to work with you again soon!
THE PICTURES ARE FANTASTIC YOU DID AN OUTSTANDING JOB THANKS SO MUCH FOR BEING A PART OF MANDA’S WEDDING WHAT I HAVE SEEN SO FAR ARE BEAUTIFUL I LOVE ALL THE DIFFERENT WAYS YOU CAPTURED MANDA AND PATRICK AND THE BLACK AND WHITE PHOTOS AS WELL THANKS AGAIN
Great, great shots!! What an awesome job you did. You always capture things in an amazing way.
Audra you should be really proud. Great job. I could not possibly pick a favorite but I love the ring shot and I love the shoes hanging from the door knob. I also love the black and white with the bride and groom together with their eyes closed. Lovely.
I am in awe. I love these! Wow. The ring shot is incredible, and I love the three of the Bride and Groom together with their eyes closed and every one of the dancing. Fabulous job!
My sis gots talent.
Fantastic job! These pictures are wonderful – of course, you had great subjects! Are you available to take family shots of us with the fall foliage next fall? You’re worth another trip to North Carolina!
looks like an amazing wedding…beautiful pictures, audra!
Audra – the umbrella pictures remind me of my wedding day when it rained without stopping all day long. And you are right….rain on the wedding day is good luck…and i have always been told that “a wet knot is hard to untie.”
Absolutely stunning Audra! You really captured the day beautifully! Thank you!!
Katie and Alfredo!
Beautiful wedding photos! Best Wishes!
Pam (Jans high school friend)

susan waters - Audra, love these pics. That bride is just stunning. Love the hay bails!
Ruth B. - These are really great photographs, so natural. Such wonderful work.
Jane - WOW, I wish my bridal pics looked like this! AMAZING!
Andrea - The first one with the ring on the china is so creative and just right for this location and really sets the scene. The one of her leaning on the white fence looking at the horses is amazing. Her dress is lovely and her smile and laugh are so pure. You have captured some really nice creative images here Audra. Looks like a really fun photo shoot between friends. A+!
Michelle - I love these!
Paul - Great work Aud. Your smile and laughter is contagious and it spread through your work.
Emily - The most authentic bridal portraits I have ever had the pleasure to see. You captured every aspect of the scene, the dress and every aspect of her personality. What a gift you have!
Terry Branick - My thoughts cannot find the words to describe what I saw in those photos. Misty is so beautiful and you captured her happiness. If you could fit her beauty in a bottle, you would make millions!
from her mom, Terry
Sue McFarland - Beautiful beautiful girl and great shots, Audra!! Love that location.
Misty - if tears could make rainbows, there’d be double arches in the sky. you paint the world a something kind of wonderful, audra bender, and i couldn’t feel more blessed to know you. here’s to the most amazingly fun, kindhearted, and wildly talented photographer i’ve ever met. cheers, dear one… and thank you.
Susan Pierce - I can hear the laughter in that middle section. Amazing you caught that. It shows your talent as a photographer to have people feel that comfortable with you to truly be themselves and have fun. I love the depth of all of them. GORGEOUS!
Jan Lindsey - You truly capture the essence of someone. You can tell by her laughter, the same thoughts were running through her head, she was hanging with a friend and not being photographed. You captured her joy, all over her face. WONDERFULLY DONE! Some of my favorites.
Hannah - The way she smiles makes her look so so gorgeous. though, she’s a beautiful woman. But her way to laugh!!!
Great job, audra!!
