"But let there be spaces in your togetherness and let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love; let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls." - Khalil Gibran

When landscape photographer Heather Long of Simply Designed Media invites you to explore the Outer Banks with her and her partner... you say, "Yes!".

Although I initially met Heather via the wedding industry, we quickly bonded over our love of the outdoors, hiking and nature photography. Heather captures stunning landscapes everywhere she goes and I always feel fortunate when she invites me to tag along. 

Last May, we took off on an afternoon adventure looking for wild horses and sunsets. Instead we found desolate beaches, lightening storms, amazing clouds and beautiful connections. Heather and Mike allowed me to document their love and I couldn't be happier with the results.
