Duke Chapel Wedding Photographer – Anderson and Adam
Why wait until the summer? Anderson and Adam didn’t want to… that’s what they told me at their engagement session last year.
Why not get married in January? And, so they did. What a beautiful wedding! Duke Chapel is well…amazingly beautiful.
I loved hanging with this crowd all day. We managed the cold like champs! I have to say, I cheated a little… Marc bought hand warmers before the wedding and between shots I was squeezing them to keep my hands warm. Can’t exactly shoot when your fingers are numb.
That said, the day went off without a glitch… talk about keeping to a schedule. I was impressed. The reception was a blast! There was even a dance off that had everyone laughing! What a fun night.
So, our day started at the salon, BLO, in Raleigh, NC…. I love being there from the beginning…


Susan was the sweetest little flower girl… she is named after Anderson’s mother.


Isn’t it funny how the guys always wait until the last minute to get ready? lol. I’m just saying….

gorgeous.




loved this moment between Anderson and her father. He couldn’t hold his tears back…








Great speech by Adam’s brother.




Definite advantage to having a second photographer… same scene with two different angles…


Anderson and Adam – I hope you are having a great honeymoon in Mexico! Congratulations!
Grand Bohemian Hotel Wedding Photography – Jessie and Morgan
What an awesome way to start the New Year! Jessie and Morgan chose January 1st, 2011 as their wedding date. I loved documenting their special day and what a beautiful setting! The Grand Bohemian Hotel made for the perfect winter wedding venue.
Jessie and Morgan were high school sweethearts and this day has been a long time in the making.
I couldn’t have picked a better couple to ring in the New Year!


The English Flower Cottage supplied the gorgeous floral…



Before the groomsman had their photos taken… they relaxed in the bar….


Who cared if it rained the entire day…. this ceremony was flawless



Jessie and Morgan were happy to walk in the rain…









As always… I’m a sucker for the kiddos!



The highlight of the night…. the first dance. Jessie cried the entire time.




Jessie and Morgan- Have a wonderful honeymoon in Italy!!!
Happy New Year – Best Image
2010… what a year! I photographed weddings in Ireland and Jamaica – I opened a new studio – Moved in to a new house – Started offering workshops – and so much more! I have been truly blessed.
I’m really excited about 2011 and all the possibilities both personally and professionally.
After a poll on Facebook, I am happy to post my “Image of the Year”…. I adore it. My sweet nephew, Bennett. His daddy is quite the surfer and this shot was a must have….totally worth getting to the beach at 6:30 AM

Biltmore Estate Wedding Photographer – Jasmine and Nick
I loved this couple from the moment we met! I’ve been looking forward to this wedding since the summer… I just adore a fall wedding. Not to mention, Jasmine and Nick chose Biltmore Estate as the backdrop to their perfect day…. Little did we know, there was a movie being filmed right in front of the Estate. The crew, however, were gracious enough to stop production for a few minutes so that I could get a picture of my couple with the home in the background. AND…We had a chance to meet the lead actress, Lucy Liu, and my couple had their picture with her. Hilarious. If you’d like to see the image, make sure to friend me on facebook.

Jasmine and Nick wanted to meet before the wedding and go around the Estate for photographs… I love this moment below. Jasmine is patiently waiting to see Nick for the first time.


I just loved the bouquet! Major props to The Purple Iris!






Fun outtake image of the movie “Marry Me”…. this is right before they stopped production for us so that we could take a few images of the couple in front of the Estate!



This wedding was very intimate. The Champagne Cellar made for the perfect reception.



The night ended with a wonderful speech by the groom’s brother… who also acted as our chauffeur during our couple session.
