Mr. & Mrs. Davis

Willie and Michelle were married at Chapel Hill Baptist Church in North, SC. I have to say that I truly enjoy my job when I get to be around couples that radiate around each other. When you see them, you can tell just how much in love they are. Is was my pleasure to spend the day with them. They chose to see each other before the ceremony, to have a private moment before standing up in front of everyone. This is a very special time and I am so happy they let me capture this. She had the biggest smile when she heard him open the door. He walked up behind her and spun her about, kissed her, and they just held on to one another. It was the perfect moment! The reception was held at Ariel's Special Events in Columbia, SC where the dinner was delicious catered by Simply Delicious and the party started! Ronnie Lane of Party Time DJs kept the crowd smiling and up on the dance floor all evening! His lighting gave the perfect setting! Thank you so much to everyone involved in this wedding. It turned out beautifully!

Heather & Stephen

A perfect day! Heather and Stephen were married at Table Rock Lodge in South Carolina. It over looks Pinnacle Lake and has a stunning sunset behind the rock faced mountains. The wedding was held inside the lodge where family and friend gathered to celebrate. Their color scheme was pink and brown and I just loved the bow ties! The reception was held in the lower level of the lodge with a balcony overlooking the lake. Stax Catering presented a delicious dinner. Afterward, the cake was not your traditional cake. Stephen came up with the idea of peach and blackberry cobbler. This was a huge hit! All the florals were beautifully prepared by Earth Blooms in Walhalla, SC. The live music was provided by The Musician's Den from Seneca, SC. They were great. I could listen to them all day long!
Congratulations to a wonderful couple!

7-7-7

What a lucky day to be married! Pam and Jordan were married at the Taylor House Inn located in Banner Elk, NC on July 7, 2007. I have been able to get to know them as a couple and can see how perfect they are together. Pam wanted to make sure everything turned out just right for her big day, and it did! She looked stunning in her dress from Bride Beautiful in Atlanta, GA and he smiled so big watching her walk down the aisle. They wrote their own vows which touched everyone's heart so much that tears were just flowing. It was so special. After the ceremony, we only had a few minutes to sneak the couple away for some really great shots before they made their grand entrance into the reception, decorated with flowers by Carolyn Clement (828-963-4992) and lit up with great colors. They kept the dance floor burning all night long. Just before they left we got a second chance to sneak off and the photos turned out just perfect. Fireworks and sparklers ended the night. It was beautiful!

The Farm

Kevin and Kristi are such a great couple! I had a blast working with them. Their family and friends really know how to have a good time and always keep smiling. Their wedding was perfect. They chose The Farm in Candler NC to celebrate their day. The wedding was held at the gazebo and was so beautiful! The party afterward was so fun. Once again I had the pleasure to work with Tom Ciaramitaro of Mountain Top Entertainment. He kept the dance floor full! Everyone had a great time. Celine & Company catered and the food was delicious. I got to sample the cake and oh my, it too was delicious! A big thumbs up to Melissa's Gourmet Desserts. All the details of the day were brought together by Kristi's mom. She had a wonderful selection of colors and the flowers were just perfect! The Flower Gallery provided the most vivid selection to match everything her mother had put together. Great job everyone! Kevin and Kristi, I wish you both lost of love and happiness!

Heather & Jon

Heather and Jon were so very fun to work with! They were married at the Memorial Chapel at Lake Junaluska and the reception followed at the Waynesville Country Club. They were up for anything for the photos and the images were fabulous! Click here for their slideshow. It has a surprise ending...lol...aren't they wonderful actors!

Brunswick Plantation

Jodie and Chris were married at the Brunswick Plantation and Golf Resort. It was so beautiful! They had a gorgeous ceremony and then danced all night. They stayed a week there afterward just to relax. How wonderful does that sound! Thank you Jodie and Chris for letting me be part of your day. Congratulations!

Amy & Andy

We had a wonderful day shooting Amy & Andy's engagement session in downtown Sylva, NC. We started at the location where Andy proposed to Amy which was a storybook proposal. He is a perfect match for her! I just love seeing them together. They are definitely in love! We then went to a park where I almost stepped on a snake. It really startled me, but we just left the area and found another location that was just beautiful! I will get to post her bridal portrait soon and you are just going to love them. She is, as Andy says, "drop dead gorgeous"!

Kevin & Joy

Kevin, Joy, and I have tried a few times to set up an engagement session, and each time it has rained. On our last attempt, we were able to capture a few images that were just perfect before the rain came. We were even going to shoot in the rain to get some really awesome shots, but there was lightning and we didn't want to hang around too long in the water. We will shoot again soon, so check back for a few additional images. I am very excited to photograph their wedding! It is going to be so fun!

Engagement Session in Asheville NC

Pam and Jordan were so fun to be around! They came to Asheville for their engagement session from Boone. We went to the park and played with their dogs which are very special to them. Then we spent some time with just the two of them. Once we finished up the day, we went to the Mellow Mushroom for dinner. Afterward the sun was going down so we decided that it would be fun to go to the fair and play. We had a blast! Check out the slideshow here. Isn't their love obvious! I can't wait for their wedding!

Two wonderful couples

I have two wonderful weddings to share today. Cheryl and Steve were married at Our Savior Lutheran Church in Clyde, NC and held their reception at the Maggie Valley Country Club. The Common Saints band played all night and kept everyone entertained. They even helped the children learn to dance like James Brown! I have heard so many great things about them and now I had the chance to see them play. What everyone said is true. They are great! One of the funniest moments I have seen at a wedding happened and I will forever smile when I think about it. For the toast, one of the little girls got the microphone and was very shy at first. Once she decided what to say it came out confidently, with no hesitation and perfect clarity. Can you guess what a little girl would say to a couple in love....a priceless moment......."Cheryl and Steve sitting in a tree, k.i.s.s.i.n.g., First comes love, then comes marraige....." It had me laughing so hard. I'd have to say it was one of the most perfect moments ever.


















Another wedding that I am dying to share with you is Megan and Chris. I have already posted her bridal portraits at the Biltmore Estate, but here are a few images from the wedding. Her love of the color pink showed throughout her selections of every detail. Each of her bridesmaids had selected their own flowers to where they were all different but still pink. Megan put so much though into her day that even the flowers were embellished with each girls initials as a silver charm with pink beads. The church had pink flowers on every pew and an arbor of flowers surrounded them during the ceremony. The reception was held at the Crest Center and Pavilion which was spectacular. There was a pink candy buffet with everything from pink and white M&Ms, watermelon twizzlers, strawberry whoppers, to bubble gum flavored rock candy. Megan and Chris were joined by all their family and friends and danced into the night. Congratulations to both happy couples!
