Caroline & Andy’s NC Mountain Destination Wedding Photography
We are always honored when we find out that a couple contacts us because of a referral from a past wedding client. Caroline and Andy took the advice from not one, but two of our Bride and Groom couples and contacted us all the way from Boston to capture their NC Mountain destination wedding photography.
The entire day was a great blending of two different families and cultures with nods to both sprinkled throughout the wedding ceremony and in to the wedding reception.
We started the day off with a “first look” with Caroline and Andy and rolled right through the family photos and wedding party, so that after the wedding ceremony, we could get to the wedding reception and photograph a few more wedding photos before starting the party for the rest of the evening.
The interior of Elkin Presbyterian Church is gorgeous and made for a perfect setting for the wedding. With Caroline raised in the Presbyterian church, and Andy raised in the Jewish faith, every effort was made in combining elements from both backgrounds, including closing the ceremony with the kiss, then the breaking of the glass before walking out of the church as husband and wife.
The day took a bit of a twist between their wedding photos after the ceremony and the introductions at the wedding reception. We received a phone call from Caroline’s sister and the Maid of Honor where she let us know that they were going to make a detour before the reception, to the Emergency Room. Yes, the E.R.! Earlier in the day, Caroline did as any Bride would do, and placed her engagement ring on her right hand for the wedding ceremony. But with the heat and humidity and nerves, her finger swelled to the point where the ring would not come off and began to cut off the circulation in her finger. The good news is, after a brief experience in the E.R. where the Bride and Groom were the center of attention, the ring was removed undamaged and they were off to Old Beau Golf and Country Club in Roaring Gap NC to celebrate their marriage.
And party they did. The dance floor stayed hopping all night thanks to All Around Raleigh DJ. At one point late in the evening, Andy and Caroline were each hoisted up in a chair for the traditional Jewish Hora, or Wedding Chair Dance, and danced around the room surrounded by friends and family.
It was such an honor to be a part of this wedding and we are grateful to Andy and Caroline for taking the advice of friends and choosing Pixels On Paper as their wedding photographer.

katy & josh’s wilkesboro nc wedding {nc mountain wedding photographer}
Love is such a powerful emotion, and one that was never more evident than in the wedding ceremony for Katherine Brown and Joshua Isaacs who were married back in November in Wilkesboro, NC. It is easy to see love in this relationship all around. Not only between Josh and Katy, but their love for God and their parents love for them.
Katy’s father, Kevin, is the pastor at Mount Pleasant Baptist Church in Wilkesboro where the ceremony was held in front of close to 400 family, friends and members of the Mt. Pleasant congregation. Of course there was no way he was going to pass up the opportunity to preside over his daughter’s wedding. There was plenty of emotion all around during the ceremony, starting with Josh’s reaction to seeing his bride for the first time, to Kevin’s tearful advice to his daughter and her new husband. The couple even celebrated their first ever kiss together to conclude the ceremony.
After the ceremony, the room was efficiently converted over from seating to tables and chairs for the reception while we took the newlyweds around the church grounds for their first portraits as husband and wife. With Josh dressed in his Marine dress uniform and Katy’s beautiful wedding dress, it was hard not to get a stunning photo.
Walking back into the reception, the afternoon continued with first dances and LOTS of people coming up to offer congratulations. The couple’s final send off into their new married life was running through a gathering of the guests that all had balloons and streamers, but Josh just had to sneak in one last kiss before they jumped into the car.
We wish Katy and Josh all the best!

What an honor to have both wedding photography by Pixels On Paper and an interview featured in the April/June 2013 issue of Carolina Bride wedding magazine! Carolina Bride magazine is one of the top wedding resource magazines in the Charlotte, NC area and is branching out to reach Brides and Grooms in the NC Mountains and couples planning destination weddings there. Recently having relocated our portrait photography and wedding photography business from Charlotte to the NC Mountains Carolina Bride reached out to us to receive suggestions for those planning a mountain wedding on how to make their guests more comfortable in a mountain environment. We’ve been specializing in NC Mountain wedding photography for almost eight years and although not an expert on wedding planning, it was a pleasure to share our experience and perspective in the article titled Mountain Comfort. You can read the full article featured below or stop by our portrait studio to pick up a Carolina Bride magazine.

lucy & glen’s valle crucis wedding photography | pixels on paper boone wedding photographers
Late last year Pixels On Paper Photography found what is sure to be one of our absolute favorite wedding venues in the NC Mountains in Valle Crucis, NC while photographing a fall wedding located at the Inn at Little Pond Farm. The Inn is a French Country house nestled in a pine grove surrounded by a mountain meadow. Like something you would see straight out of a magazine! The owners Gaye and Frank have thought of everything and created the perfect atmosphere for quaint, intimate, weddings in the NC High Country for locals and for those planning destination weddings in the NC Mountains.
Combine this beautiful location and perfect Fall foliage with the most adorable Bride and Groom and we have the ultimate dream for wedding photographers. Lucy & Glen are each in their 50s and this was the first marriage for both. They desired an intimate, fun experience with immediate family and close friends in the North Carolina mountains during the Fall season for their wedding and one that did not necessarily conform to convention.
The outdoor ceremony was followed by a candle lit reception with a 5 course dinner inside the Inn at Little Pond prepared on-site by a private chef. All the guests sat around one long farm table and enjoyed their meal together and celebrated.
We love this description directly from Lucy that describes the unique details of their wedding: “The perspective of the “perfect wedding” can change over the years. As a 50+ year old couple, we are not just starting out in our adult life. We both have experienced full, single lives. For each of us, that life included traveling to unique parts of the world. Our wedding needed to reflect a special bond and joy between two mature, independent individuals whose single life journeys will now become a shared sojourn.”
As a surprise to Lucy, Glen contacted Pixels On Paper prior to the wedding without Lucy knowing and arranged special music and extra photo time with us after the guests had departed to capture their romantic wedding dance.
