love is in the details
Little, personalized touches are often what makes one wedding different than all others and our advice to each couple we photograph is to find ways to make their wedding day personalized. Some couples pick 2-3 specific items to focus on – succulents and a nod to a shared love of cycling for example (see below) – or a love of Dr. Who and their college school colors. But whether it’s some trinket added to the bride’s bouquet, or a lines from a poem painted and featured around the reception hall, incorporating those special items of significance throughout the décor, food and flowers can make an event memorable.
One of the neat things about us even though we’re on year 14 of photographing weddings together is that our perspectives are totally different. Ryan absolutely loves the small details and he loves to photograph them. No matter how hard I try, his are always better. He just has a knack for it.
We love to see when a couple’s personalities are incorporated into wedding details and decor, even if it’s just subtle hints. Sometimes a lot of time, effort and creativity go into making these details and we certainly want to be sure that they’re photographed uniquely. Favorite books, family heirlooms, inside jokes, modern takes on wedding toppers, it’s all as specific as each couple is different.
We love family portraits whether they are set in the studio, the great outdoors, a specific location like the mountains or high country, or on our property in our outdoor portrait garden. Pixels on Paper photographs, engagements and weddings, brides, and special events and portraits of all kinds in our Wilkesboro, NC studio. We would be honored to meet with you, learn about you and your family and be a part of taking special portraits that will become, we hope, family heirlooms.

Weddings, Weddings & More
People like Ryan and myself who are in the wedding industry, feel spring and summer rushing our way like a runaway train. It’s always fun, but it’s a busy time of year. The first day of spring was just marked off the calendar and we’re gearing up for Merlefest, prom, graduation and of course weddings of all sorts. For the next month or so, we’ll be focusing on all the aspects of the wedding season and celebrating one of life’s biggest celebrations. Today, I want to share more from our 14 years in the business of photographing weddings!
Whether we’re capturing the couple alone or surrounded by their crew of family and friends, the setting or the details, the rush and hubbub of a wedding is exhilarating.
Stay tuned, wedding fans, because there is much more to come on the wedding front.

Spring Portraits – Milestones
I recently went on about spring portrait sessions and how many we are asked to schedule as the temperatures rise. This is a favorite season of ours. Today, I want to share the fun of photographing milestones that happened to have occurred around spring for some of our clients: most particularly children’s 6-month or first year portraits and spring weddings.
Outdoor Weddings
The first day of spring is March 20th, and we’re ready. If you have a milestone coming up – of any sort – and want to capture it this season, contact us!

Wedding Expo March 10, 2019
It’s that time, brides-to-be. The Wilkes Wedding Expo 2019 is Sunday, March 10th at The John A. Walker Center at Wilkes Community College. From 1 – 4 pm, wedding professionals from multiple industries will be available to show you what they do well and answer any questions you may have. Ryan and I will be there again this year and hope that you will look for the Pixels on Paper booth. We’re already getting excited to see familiar faces and meet new clients.
While our booth is a bit different every year, our aim is always the same: to share our love for photography and our clients and provide as much insight and information as we can. Whether your wedding is an indoor church affair or outside with a mountain view behind you, we’ve done it many times before. The difference is YOU and we’re anxious to see what you have in mind and how best to capture your big day. Formal or informal, we’ve been at this for nearly 15 years and love to shoot engagement, bridals and the weddings themselves. We usually end up being asked to photograph all of these once we get to know a couple. We’re pretty friendly. 🙂
We are not only long-time and dear friends of Kelly Shumate, owner extraordinaire of Bridal Traditions – the organizer of this annual event – we are often asked to be the photographers for the event. It’s always fun to see what brides are hoping for each year – what’s trendy, what old traditions are making their way back, ways to celebrate, save and have a memorable wedding day. And we love meeting fellow professionals in this biz.
If you haven’t planned to go, make it a point to get your tickets, grab your pals and join us. If you have, be on the look-out for Pixels on Paper. We look forward to meeting you.

Wilkes Wedding Expo 2019
We’ll be there again this year with our own booth ready to meet brides-to-be, see other wedding professionals and talk about what we love and have been doing for nearly 15 years.
The Wilkes Wedding Expo is one of our favorite events because we’ve been a vendor and taken photos of the event for so many years, and met so many brides and couples who’ve become clients, friends and like family to Ryan and me. Those connections have led to such strong bonds that we always look forward to March each year. There’s an enormous amount of expectation and fun in the air and talking photography, venues, spring and summer weddings and big plans gooses us into gear.
Here are the details, but you can visit https://wilkesweddingexpo.weebly.com/ or Bridal Traditions to learn more if you are a bride ready to get organized!
