jessica’s bridal photos | outdoor wedding pictures | pixels on paper
Jessica is now married to Chris so we can finally show her awesome bridal photos to the whole world. We photographed these in 95 degree heat and somehow she managed to look as cool as ever, even after a collision with a bench in one of our sets. Jessica asked us during our initial consult to incorporate both her and her now husband’s involvement in the racing industry as well as his love of gator blue and orange into her bridal session. We were more than happy to oblige by finding a set of old fuel pumps in a rustic setting as well as that perfectly shaded gator blue wall. We were grateful that Jessica was so adventuresome and wanted something more than just a traditional portrait. She trusted our creativity and ability to capture light and color allowing the end results to be amazing. Let us know what you think. Our blog loves comments!
Keep watching the blog for Chris and Jessica’s wedding photos coming up soon. To view all of these and other bridal photos and outdoor wedding pictures view the Pixels On Paper website.

erica | bridal photos | outdoor wedding pictures
We’ve been absolutely beside ourselves wanting to share Erica’s bridal photos since the very moment we began shooting them. We knew when that first shutter clicked in this breath-taking setting and the preview panel on our camera confirmed what was happening, this session would deliver images that would blow our minds.
Erica requested that we shoot her bridal photos in a high-fashion style, yet in a natural mountain setting that would not easily lend itself to what others consider a backdrop for couture fashion. During our pre-session conversations Erica described her dress as “fabulous” and oh my was it ever. Purchased and perfectly fitted by the amazing staff at The Lily Rose her Pronovias gown was stunningly fabulous. The silk and ruffles added drama to the majestic ambience we captured. Erica trusted us fully, not only to keep the dress perfectly clean and safe in some of the most precarious positions but also with the unusual poses and body contortions we asked her to perform, giving us total creative photography freedom. We hope you find the outcome in these outdoor wedding pictures as breath-taking as we do.
Much thanks to The Lodges at Eagles Nest for allowing us the use of their facilities and amazing environment. If you are looking for a unique location for an outdoor wedding in the North Carolina High Country be sure to check out their many options for wedding services.
Keep watching for a future post on Erica and Andrew’s wedding day. Or view more of our photos on our website.

erin | bridal photos | pixels on paper
There are so many things we love about Erin, most of which is her gorgeous smile and just being in her company. It’s contagious. She has this energy about her that makes you feel at ease and smile right along with her. She even managed to get us caught up in the daily wedding count-down! The opportunity to photograph her bridal photos gave us that much more time to feel her joy and her excitement. She was positively glowing from the moment she sat down in the makeup chair and then radiating even more joy when she slipped into the dress.
On her own, Erin opted for a more natural photo location knowing that she had chosen modern and urban settings for their engagement photos and wedding day. Mikah Leon at the US National Whitewater Center gave us free reign to do our thing. If you are around Erin any length of time you will find out she is a huge HUGE Tar Heels fan. She came to our shoot with more Carolina Blue props than I could even imagine along with a special little Lady Bug that now holds a very sentimental place in our heart.
Since Erin married her “Sugar Butt” on Saturday we can now happily share our creative photography style in these bridal photos. Thanks Erin for sharing your joy. Enjoy!
This next bridal photo was Erin’s favorite that she displayed at the wedding reception.
Erin and Brad had rally towels custom printed for wedding guests to use during their wedding reception exit. Wait until you see the photo of them in use!
Erin’s makeup was done on site by the wonderful Kelsey Bunzey. In case you missed our earlier post on Kelsey’s work, check it out again here.
Other thanks go to:
Mikah Leon at the US National Whitewater Center for letting us shot on location and photograph many of their weddings.

rachel | bridal photos | creative photography
Rachel is beautiful inside and out. Her creative energy is contagious making it easy to photograph her. We are also pretty sure her blood runs Appalachian State University Black and Gold. With her love of ASU and her interest in waterfalls the backdrops for her bridal photos were an easy choice thanks to the Wilkes County landscape.
Most Brides and even more Moms are skeptical that we can keep a wedding dress clean during outdoor portrait photography. Rachel put her complete trust in us, trekking through a location that most would only consider for a trash the dress session. The reward was a bridal portrait she didn’t have to wait until after the wedding to take or share and a dress that was still clean for the wedding day.
Rachel and Ryan were married on Saturday which means we can now share her bridal photos.
Much thanks to Desi Parker of Desi’s Flora and Design Studio for the beautiful bridal portrait and wedding day floral arrangements.
Be sure to view our website galleries for additional bridal photos or a look back and Rachel and Ryan’s ASU themed engagement photos.

country wedding pictures in wilkes county | creative photography
Wilkes county is one of our favorite places to be, especially this time of year. It provides the perfect backdrop for country wedding pictures and feeds our strong desire to provide creative photography to our clients. While there this past weekend we stayed busy with consults about wedding pictures, a high country NC wedding to photograph, and a waterfall inspired NC bridal portrait. Here are a few sneak peeks of the backdrops on and around Misty’s family’s farm that were used and that consistently provide abundant inspiration.
