Childress Vineyard Wedding Photographer – Natasha and Artis
I loved this wedding. Sweet. Simple. Perfect.
We had a gorgeous spring day and Childress Vineyard was the perfect setting. Many congrats to Natasha and Artis. Enjoy the sneak peek.
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!
Duke Chapel Bridal Portraits – Anderson
I had the pleasure of photographing Anderson’s bridal portraits in November. Duke Chapel made the perfect setting despite the freezing temperatures and students rushing to classes… I have to give it to Anderson, you would never know she was so cold… she looks so serene and beautiful!
This weekend’s wedding was amazing! I will post more on that in the next few days… Enjoy and stay warm.
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
Asheville Wedding Photographer – Mandy and Michael
What a beautiful wedding to wrap up a wonderful year! This was my last 2010 wedding… and I loved it!
Mandy and Michael were married at the Crest Pavillion. The ceremony was outside over looking the Blue Ridge Mountains covered in fall colors… Mandy has the most contagious smile. So genuine and sweet, I can’t imagine her without it… you’ll see what I mean in the photos below. The decor was amazing! Red roses and candles everywhere… so romantic.
Thanks to Emily McCollin with Occasions by Emily for pulling together such a beautiful day… also to Camilla Calnan with Camilla Calnan Photography – you and your husband are so easy to work with!
yet, another flower girl that won my heart.
Check out the very large wedding party!
