The Vineyard

Laurin and James were married at the Uwharrie Vineyards in Albemarle, NC. The day of the wedding it came a storm so strong that while I was sitting in traffic, the only thing I could see was a faint red light from the tail light of the car in front of me at the red light. Traffic just sat still for what seemed like an eternity. Then came the hail. I thought to myself...oh no this is going to be really bad. But, the storm moved on. Though the ceremony had to be moved inside, we went into the vineyard afterward and it was spectacular. Laurin and James celebrated way into the night with all their friends and family. It was a wonderful day! Congratulations to you both!

Biltmore Bridal Portrait

I am excited to finally get to show you a sneak peak at Megan's Bridal portraits. Her wedding was last Saturday at a beautiful church in Candler and the reception held at the Crest Center and Pavilion, so I can now show you just how beautiful she looked!

Seaside Florida

Stephanie and John were married in Seagrove Florida last weekend and we had a fun day before the wedding shooting their engagement session. Check out their slideshow. The song playing is the song she wrote for him for Valentine's Day. I had so much fun! Stay tuned for their wedding slideshow coming soon!

Old Salem

Danielle and Jesse had a beautiful wedding in Winston Salem, NC at the Highlands Presbyterian Church followed by the reception at the Old Salem Visitors Center where The Main Event Band kept everyone dancing all night long. Dinner was catered by Visions Catering which was delicious! Congratulations Danielle and Jesse! I wish you all the love in the world!

So Many Wonderful Days!

It's been awhile since I have had a chance to post, so there are many things to talk about. I enjoyed a day with Megan earlier in the month shooting her bridal portrait at the Biltmore House just at the beginning of the flower festival. I cannot post any of the images until after the wedding, however I am so pleased with the images. She is so beautiful and just glowed the entire day (even though it was about 30 degrees outside and a snow storm was on its way).

Another wonderful day was spent with Dana and Martin, fellow photographers, enjoying a post wedding shoot. Here are some of the images from the day. They were so fun and were up for anything! I loved it!




















I had the privilege to photograph Amy & Scott's wedding held at their church and the reception at The Cedar's in downtown Hendersonville, NC. All the wonderful flower arrangements and coordination of the day was elegantly done by Sandra Walker of Southern Traditions Florist. Tom Ciaramitaro from Mountain Top Entertainment did an awesome job and the crowd had a wonderful time. Here is a sneak peak from their day.









During these past few weeks I also had the opportunity to photograph the Copper Crest Inn located in Hendersonville, NC. This is a great location for parties, weddings, and family reunions. Oh, and the food is superb!

Great Couple!

What a wonderful weekend! I had the honor of photographing Rachael and Craig's wedding at the Doubletree Guest Suites South Park in Charlotte NC on April 7th. Split Second Sound kept the party going. They are definitely a fun group! Congratulations to the happy couple! Click to see their slideshow.

Featured Wedding

Very Exciting News! The new issue of The Brides Book was just released today. My images from Suzanne and Adrian's wedding in Valle Crucis, NC, were printed as a featured wedding in the magazine. It should be out in stores very soon, so be sure to pick up a copy. There is an article with several resort listings to help you find the perfect location for your upcoming wedding. These places are beautiful!

Ring Shopping

As I was looking through my images last night, I came across one of my favorites of Stephanie and I though I would share. We went ring shopping while I was visiting her in Nashville, TN. This shot is from Tiffany & Co. After many days of online research, she thought the Legacy was the ring she wanted, however, once we went to Village Jewelers, she saw the ring she just had to have. The wedding is May 5th, so keep checking back and you will see the final choice.

Elizabeth & Chris

Elizabeth and Chris were married in Columbia, SC at St. Peters Catholic Church. Their reception was held at the Clarion Townhouse Hotel. They are such a wonderful couple. We started at 6:30 am for breakfast and then left for the salon Shear Expectations where they all had their hair and makeup done. They were fabulous! While I was at the salon, Athena had met with the guys and gone with them to document their day. Both parties were picked up by CMI Limousine Services and taken to the church which is so beautiful. Elizabeth knew just what she wanted for the day and planned for a fun photo shoot all around Columbia. We had a blast! Then back to the hotel for the cocktail hour where the bar was open and delicious food was being served. They took advantage of the next hour to relax a bit and then it was time for dinner and the party. I have to say they really know how to have a good time. The night was filled with lots of dancing, skits from Pulp Fiction, karaoke, and support for their favorite team the Gamecocks. Party Time DJ was awesome and the party went all night long, even to the after party in room 247 (oops it was 242...) Congratulations to Chris and Elizabeth! I wish you all the happiness in the world!

Gatlinburg, TN

I got to hang with someone that I can say is forever my friend. We have know each other since 7th grade. We had so much fun doing nothing but walking, shopping, and catching up on life. We don't see each other very much, but when we do it is wonderful! Here are a few shots of her throughout the day. She is now used to me photographing her all day because she knows I take my camera everywhere I go and she cannot escape! Isn't she beautiful?
