amber + wesley {married} at camp sky ranch | outdoor country wedding
After a couple years of planning all of Amber and Wesley’s time and energy came together on one spectacular fall wedding day in the Blue Ridge Mountains at Camp Sky Ranch. The venue itself provided an amazing backdrop and is one of Blowing Rock’s hidden jewels. If you haven’t heard about it you want to read the history here and learn what Jack and his wife Lori have brought to life.
Like many of the weddings we photograph this event was a family affair. Everyone worked together for days to decorate, coordinate, and celebrate the union. Family members baked and decorated the cake and cooked all the homemade southern foods for the reception. Bouquets, floral arrangements and candle decorations inspired by the Autumn surroundings were designed by Denise Brooks of Innovative Occasions.
Let us know what you think of Amber and Wesley’s outdoor wedding pictures. Our blog loves comments!
We are so thankful to have been a part of Amber and Wesley’s special day. They put their trust in our creative photography to capture their day. We could not be any happier with what we were able to capture. Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Douglas!
In case you missed them, be sure to take a look at Amber’s gorgeous bridal photos!

heather + jason | engagement photos | pixels on paper | creative photography
Heather and Jason are super casual and relaxed. They live in Asheville and both absolutely love to be outdoors spending a lot of their free time fishing in the mountains or working in their garden. Heather changed her mind only a matter of weeks before their wedding date and decided to have engagement pictures taken with us so that they would be more comfortable in front of our cameras on the day of the wedding. This is absolutely one of the best reasons to have engagement photos. Not only does it give us all a chance to get to know each other but its good practice and a lot of fun. If you’re the least be anxious about having your photo taken a portrait session will help relieve those worries and fears. We also always recommend that its a setting where you could normally be found so that years down the road your not looking at a photo in an insignificant place or activity.
We’re looking forward to being in Asheville at the end of August to photograph Heather and Jason’s outdoor wedding pictures at Claxton Farm.

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.

best of 2010 weddings | charlotte wedding photographer | pixels on paper
FINALLY! After months of research, talking about it, and wishing we had…We created a blog! We are thrilled that it is finally underway and and can be checked off our list. We thought what better to be our first post than to look back on 2010 with all we have to be thankful for.
2010 was an amazing year for us. By far one of the busiest in our careers. It has been an incredible blessing to meet new people and make new friends all while doing what we love to do and watching our business grow. To have earned the trust of so many clients who placed one of the most important days of their lives in our hands is a compliment beyond measure.
We continued to feed our creativity and educate ourselves whenever possible. Much in part to The Light Factory, WPPI, and other amazing photographers, who we call friends, that let us constantly pick their brains. In 2010 we added off-camera lighting to our artillery. This allowed us to finally capture our visions of dramatic light and perfect exposures. No more painful battles with dark reception halls or direct sunlight! Just one more way of setting ourselves apart from the rest.
We won’t stop there. We have BIG plans for 2011 and can’t wait to share the excitement. We’re looking forward to what God has in store for us and the creative opportunities that our clients bring on! In the meantime enjoy looking back at 2010 as we share our favorite wedding images and we hope you will keep coming back for more.
