Bolo Macklin Wedding

Vick-Farley Wedding

In the western North Carolina mountains Stephanie and Ryan held their wedding gorgeous setting of  Hidden River Events. The weather threatened but the mostly outdoor event turned out perfectly right in the middle of some of the most beautiful countryside in the South. If you are a photography buff you know that overcast skies provide some of the best even lighting possible and that's exactly what we had. Here are a few images from their day. Congrats to you both Ryan and Stephanie!

Justin and Sheri

These two dear friends of mine were married in North Charlotte at Asbury Park Grove and it was an amazing day. It seemed storybook right down to the thunder that occurred just after the recessional as if scripted. :)  The weather cooperated perfectly and the night was filled with emotion and laughter. (and a few hoots a hollers)  Congratualtions to you both and I can't wait to see what life has in store for you! I know, I know get on with the pictures... here you go.

Blackmar – Barr Wedding

Eric and Carey were married at the Advent Lutheran Church in the University area. Following the ceremony we headed over to the UNCC Gardens for a few shots before heading to the Ranson House in Huntersville. Eric and Carey's wedding was an emotionally charged day and just lovely to photograph. Here are a few of my favorites from the day…

Kristen and Jon

Kristen and Jon were married in the historic and character filled Annapolis, Maryland.  The ceremony was held at the Calvary United Methodist Church and the reception followed at the Annapolis Marriot on the scenic harbor. Horse and buggy were the bride and groom's transport from the wedding and the rest of us enjoyed an excitement charged trolley ride. I don't think I have ever felt the floor of a hotel flex and bounce as it did when the dance floor was filled that night! The party didn't end there either as the after party went long into the night. Certainly a night to rememeber! Congrats...

Carey’s Bridal Shoot

Carey and a few family members met up with me at the Ranson House in Huntersville to have her bridal shoot and I think she made my job easy. Yes, she looked just as beautiful on her big day. Here are a few pictures from the shoot.    

Bozza Hartnett Wedding

Lauren and Ryan had a fabulous wedding located in Boca Raton and Margate,  Florida. Everyone prepared at the Boca Bridge Hotel in Boca. Just before the ceremony we headed down to the beach for a few shots and then we traveled a short drive to the Abundant Life Christian Center in Margate.  The cocktail hour and reception was held at the hotel and lasted into the wee hours of the night rocked by their DJ and a full band. It was an amazing time for an amazing couple.  They displayed their superior dancing abilities performing the Tango and all the guests had such a great time with the photo...

Lawrence King Wedding

Michelle and Roger were married at the hidden jewel The Duke Mansion in the heart of  Charlotte, NC. It was my first time at The Duke Mansion and I have to say I was impressed. The location is an amazing one for a couple's special day and they did a great job. Michelle and Roger had the perfect wedding with the ceremony in the shade of the mansion's enormous oak trees with floral gardens surrounding. Afterward everyone retired to a candle-lit cocktail hour and reception dining room. These two are so fun and I consider both of them close friends. I had an amazing time photographing their day and I hope...

Manning Cooper Wedding

Ben and Shannon were married on the gorgeous Lake Lure at the Rumbling Bald Resort.  How often do you see such a special ceremony overlooked by sheer rock faced mountains disappearing into what has been called the most beautiful man made lake in the country.  The Sons of Ralph rocked the dance floor all night and the amazing floral arrangements were provided by Flower Gallery of Asheville.  These two were so fun to work with and laid back. I love when a couple wants to spend a lot of time on their images because #1 it's what I love to do and #2 they will have that many more images to treasure...
