Josh and Emily were married at Temple Israel in Charlotte. The day started with an extremely lively tish and didn’t slow down from there. Their reception took place at the home of Emily’s parents which added a nice personal touch to the day. Emily, Josh and many of the guests are visiting from the UK. They were an energetic and sincere group of friends and family, an excellent source of support for the couple for years to come.

Here are just a few of my favorites from the day…Emily and I discussed her appreciation for high contrast black and white images so I am including a fair amount of those in this blog post.

Emily and Ryan were married at the Salem United Methodist Church in New London, NC and held their reception at the River Run Country Club in Davidson, NC. They have a very lively group of family and friends which made for a great party at the country club. All the Right Grooves provided the entertainment and did a great job as always.

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.

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.

Robin and Ryan held a private ceremony at the Mint Museum in Charlotte and later held their reception there as well. We decided to do an uptown walkabout for images, which is always a good time. Their reception featured amazing food including fried green tomatoes and sweet potato souffle (more weddings needs this!). The dancing went on late into the evening and the couple exited to the sounds of personalized cowbells for the guests, which was very fun and original.

Here are some of my personal favorites…

I also wanted to make mention of the wedding cake by Haines of For Goodness Cakes. I had not worked with her before. I have had my fair share of wedding cake and then some, and her cake was easily in the top two I have ever had. One layer featured fresh blueberries and was incredible.

I also wanted to share one of Robin’s Bridals from the Kilburnie Inn in Lancaster, a great place for photography. Robin chose to have this on display at her reception.

Ashlee and Paul were married at The Ranson House located in Huntersville, NC. They had a great wedding which included fresh lemonade for all the guests as they entered the lawn for this outdoor ceremony. Split Second Sound delivered the entertainment and kept the dancing going late into the evening.

Heather and Joe were married at the First Presbyterian Church in Uptown Charlotte, and held their reception at the Carmel Country Club in south Charlotte. The party went late into the evening, and the dancing was non stop.
