Yuri and Art flew from Los Angeles to Charlotte and held their wedding and reception at the Ballantyne Country Club in south Charlotte. I don’t think I have shot a wedding for a more laid back and fun couple. All the RIght Grooves provided the music and did a great job as always. KA Studios was there as well providing the videography. I had not worked with them before, but they seemed very creative and did a great job as well.

Here are a few of my favorites from the day…

Just felt like sharing a few portraits from a recent Trash the Dress session. Whether you call it Trash the Dress or Mess the Dress, it seems there is no real definition out there for it. Most all involve portraits of a bride in her wedding dress doing something she would not have done before her wedding day. So I think this shoot applies.

Bride + Cornfield = Very Challenging

Big thanks to Sarah for being a real trooper and walking through a corn field with bare arms. I think it was worth it.

Sarah and Mark were married at the Avia Hotel located in the historic district of Savannah, GA. The entire area is filled with what seems to be endless shooting opportunities. The hotel itself also provided many interesting possibilities and offered up an atmosphere filled with character and charm. Sarah and Mark had a very nice private ceremony on the terrace of the hotel and reception in the ball room of the hotel.

Alice and Jacob were married at the First Presbyterian Church in downtown Concord, NC and held their reception at he Cabarrus Country club nearby. The ladies prepared for the day in a house adjacent to the church, and had a very unique green tiled room with windows that was calling my name right away.  Before the reception got started we took some time out on the fairway for a quick portrait session with the bridal party.

The dancing went late into the evening and everyone had a great time. Here are just a few of my favorite images …
