erica and andrew sneak peeks | pixels on paper | creative photography
Before we take a few days to enjoy the holiday weekend we want to leave all our fans with a sneak peek of wedding pictures from Erica and Andrew’s outdoor wedding this past weekend in Boone NC. It was hard to pick only a few of the stunning images to share but while the two newlyweds are honeymooning in the Mexican Riveria this teaser should be enough to make sure they return home to see the rest. Enjoy! 
In case you missed Erica’s bridal photos on the blog check them out here. As always, you can view more of our photos at our website, www.pixlesonpaper.net.

erin and brad | wedding photos | pixels on paper
Congratulations to our first annual Charlotte Trophy Bride Contest Winners who are now married! Back in April 2010 Erin and Brad were the first winning couple of our fun contest, racking up a total of 223 votes and new Pixels On Paper facebook fans. It was a sure sign of how much fun we were going to have with these two along with their friends and family over the next 15 months. Words can’t even describe how much we love this couple.
They came to us specifically requesting photos that captured their style, a preference of more contemporary rather than traditional. Including more architectural and modern backdrops rather than natural landscapes. This was an easy task based on the surroundings of their uptown Charlotte ceremony and reception locations and our love for this style as well. We found several new spots where we had never photographed before and successfully accomplished a few new techniques that delivered our style of creative photography for their wedding photos all while having a lot of fun.
All the details surrounding the entire day of course came together with the help of some amazing local wedding vendors. A huge shout out goes to Rachel Samuelson and her staff at the Holiday Inn Center City Charlotte, Kelsey Bunzey for makeup, Amanda Pagano of Isabel’s Corner Videography and Beth with All The Right Grooves.
Photography is technically all about capturing light and shadows. During a wedding we have less opportunity to look for that perfect light as we would during a portrait session primarily due to the fast pace and set time-line. However occasionally when the fates are smiling on us we get to see an un-orchestrated moment just like the one below. When a story unfolds in the perfect light.
A beautiful ceremony at Covenant Presbyterian Church.
Photographers and videographers are not allowed downstairs during the ceremony at Covenant and only allowed to take minimal photos from the balcony during the ceremony. The above stunning shot came just in time before the doors were quickly shut with the light hitting Erin perfectly.
Unlike any other exit we have ever photographed, Erin and Brad received a rally towel send-off in true Tar Heel fashion.

rachel and ryan’s outdoor wedding pictures | pixels on paper creative photography
Rachel and Ryan were married during a beautiful outdoor setting in the labyrinth at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Wilkesboro. Their love for each other, family, and ASU were evident everywhere, especially in the hand-made details. Surrounded by so many close friends and getting to know them and their family over the past year made it easy for us to get caught up in the excitement.
The gorgeous yellow flower arrangements were designed by Desi’s Floral and Design Studio.
Every emotion possible from laughter to tears were displayed during their very personal ceremony.
A very lively reception followed in the St. Paul’s Parrish Hall. Cake design by Teresa Greene of Magical Memories.
In case you missed it, be sure to check out Rachel and Ryan’s earlier ASU inspired Engagement Photos in our Facebook post and Rachel’s Bridal Photos on the blog. We wish these two a lifetime of happiness together.

andrea and mike’s | leatherwood mountain wedding | creative photography
Each trip back to Leatherwood Mountains to photograph a mountain wedding is just as special as the first. Before the land was a resort and the old log cabin was a visitor’s center, it was simply mountains, farm land, and a home to members of Misty’s family. We try to capture the history and a bit of that sentimental value for each couple that have decided to exchange their vows in this beautiful portion of Wilkes County.
Recently Abbie, Leatherwood’s awesome wedding coordinator, has created all inclusive wedding packages for everything from an intimate setting for two people in a meadow to an elaborate wedding celebration for guests of a hundred or more. It’s a brilliant idea and especially great for those that are just to busy to be occupied with all the details of a wedding. Andrea and Mike, from Garner, NC took advantage of all Leatherwood and Abbie’s packages had to offer for their destination wedding. What initially was planned as an outdoor ceremony in front of the cabin’s rock chimney was moved inside one of many gorgeous mountain homes due to rain. Set on top of a peak, in front of a 30 foot wall of windows overlooking a picturesque scene of rolling mountains, they still had an incredible backdrop.
We’re happy to share these wedding pictures from Andrea & Mike’s mountain wedding and look forward to our next return to Leatherwood.
