Abby and Matt were married at the Stowe Manor in Belmont, NC. The venue is a Victorian style house that fit perfectly for their steampunk themed wedding. Many of the guests wore appropriate costumes themed from the late 1800’s to the early 1900’s. Music was provided by the Davenport Sisters who also host a weekly steampunk radio show in Chapel Hill.
Here are just a few of my faves from the day….
Alison and Austin were married on the beach in Negril, Jamaica. The weather was 86 degrees and sunny, a very welcome sight for this Charlotte resident. Alison found me through the WPJA and was particularly interested in the photojournalism aspect of my work. We had a great time with them and their entire wedding party.
The wedding was planned by Michelle Sandy Thurston of www.YTCNaples.com and amazing ceremony music was played by Shyam Moses of www.shyammoses.com . These two were top notch.

Recently Jessica, Oteil, myself, and Heather Bryson of Carolina Wedding Design set off on a chilly afternoon to conduct an engagement session. Being artists themselves, they were up for anything and everything, a blank photography canvas. I am lucky enough to be shooting their wedding later this year!
Engagement photography sessions are a great idea for any couple. Not only do you get fantastic images, it helps to build a familiarity with your photographer. This typically will make the wedding day sessions much more relaxed and comfortable. Engagement sessions are customized to the couple’s personality, and can take place anywhere and everywhere.
Here are just a few of my favorites of the afternoon.
Another year come and gone, another thirty weddings I had the pleasure of documenting. Thirty couples gave me the privilege of peaking in on one of the most special days of their lives, and for that I am truly grateful.
Here are just some of my favorite 2009 shots, there are far to many to post them all.
Getting Ready
Ceremony
Reception
Pictures with ankles…(how is this a category?)
Portraits
Favorite photo with random shirtless guy wanting to be in said photo…(you won’t find that on another blog)
All in all 2009 was a fantastic year and I can say I truly enjoyed spending time with every one of my couples. My gratitude goes out to all of them.
My wedding season starts again in early February in Negril, Jamaica. Until then!
Mary Blake and Raymond are getting married in May of 2010. Had a great time shooting their e-session. Very fun couple and bound to be a very fun wedding. Here are some e-session pics…
Jenna and Brian were married at Mt Zion Methodist Church in Cornelius, NC and held their reception at River Run Country Club. The ceremony was candle lit, always a challenge for photography. If you are planning a candle lit ceremony be sure to choose a photographer with the needed equipment and experience.
Here are just a few of my favorites from the day, and no I am not scared to post images featuring couches from the 1980s.
And my favorite of Jena’s bridals…
What would a trash the dress session be if it was not glamorous, was not pretty, but instead told a story? That was the question at hand for this photoshoot with Nicci Nelson and her husband. The result earned eighth place overall in the International Trash the Dress Contest of the WPJA.
Big thanks to Nicci and her husband for having the guts to go along with it. Any of you other recent brides want to do something extreme and out of the ordinary with your dress? Just let me know! I have plenty of ideas….
