Words can’t even begin to express how awesome it was to photograph Laura and Chumah. From the moment they won our Charlotte Future Trophy Bride contest with 467 facebook votes we knew there was a lot of fun in store.  Laura is quiet and shy with stunning discreet beauty and is passionate about art. In front of the camera she is high fashion, confident, and a risk taker.  Chumah, a native of Kenya, is outgoing, always in motion, a scholar soccer athlete, and always the jokster. In front of the camera he is GQ, serious and intense. The combination of these two and their love for each other was our ultimate dream. They delivered killer engagement pictures which you can see here, and their wedding pictures were even more amazing.

We understand that these photos may not be everyone’s preference for wedding photos but it was exactly what Laura and Chumah wanted. They did not want traditional wedding photos. They wanted creative photography, high fashion portrait photos, and wedding images that captured the moments. It’s our job as wedding photographers to make sure that we are a good match for our clients, then to make sure we understand and can deliver and exceed their expectations. And all the while we get to have a blast doing what we love.
