sarah & jeremy | leatherwood mountains weddings | pixels on paper | boone wedding photographers
Weddings in the NC mountains are always a favorite for us, especially when the ceremony is held outdoor at Leatherwood Mountains located in Ferguson NC near Boone in the NC High Country. The backdrops that the mountains offer are second to none with endless possibilities around Leatherwood resort.
Long before Sarah and Jeremy’s wedding day, we had the opportunity to photograph Sarah’s bridal photography. We have been wanting to do a “peach blossom shoot” for a long time, and when the timing was right, we were lucky enough for great weather. We photographed among the peach and apple blossoms in orchards in Brushy Mountain, NC. Sarah’s dance background allowed us to push her posing a little farther than we normally get to do, and the results were simply stunning! We got creative by incorporating Sarah’s life as a dancer and love for horses as you can see in her bride photos shown below.
Sarah and Jeremy chose the perfect wedding day. With a nice breeze blowing through the NC Mountains and fair temperatures, they said their “I do’s” at the main Leatherwood cabin in front of their families and closest friends. When you are surrounded by horse stables and have a love for horses, what better way to arrive at the ceremony site than in a horse-drawn carriage. Sarah stepped out of the carriage and walked to a waiting Jeremy at the end of the aisle where they exchanged vows that they wrote for each other. After they lit the unity candle and exchanged rings, they were announced as husband and wife and had their first kiss as a married couple.
Following the post ceremony photos with Sarah and Jeremy off in the meadow and in the stables, all of the guests were treated to a wonderful reception in the covered riding ring surrounded by details of hand made decor and plenty of personal touches. A BBQ dinner was catered by Tipton’s of Wilkesboro NC while Ball and Ball DJ entertained the guests.
After a long afternoon of celebration, it was finally time to let the newlyweds head off to their honeymoon, but not before one last dance. While guests headed out of the riding ring to line up for the bubble send-off, Sarah and Jeremy got the chance to have the place to themselves for one final wedding dance.
Be sure to check out Sarah and Jeremy’s engagement portraits here if you have not seen them.
We are grateful to have been Sarah & Jeremy’s chosen wedding photographers and we wish them a life full of romance.

mia and andre’s greensboro nc wedding | greensboro coliseum terrace reception
Mia and Andre were married on August 11, 2012 on what wound up being a whirlwind of a day thanks to Mother Nature. The original plan was to have the ceremony outdoors at Greensboro College on the porch of one of the main administrative buildings. We were sure excited at the prospect of the day, but were a little leery of the weather reports saying rain was on the way. And rain it did pour with thunderstorms for hours on end.
With a few hours to the ceremony’s start time, the decision was made and the back up plan was put into action. Luckily Mia’s parents live in Greensboro and the decision had been made to move the ceremony to their home church a short drive away. To the church we go!
We are used to having to think on our toes each at every wedding since something can always go wrong, so we had a job to do and were ready when the time came. We had to shoot most of the pre-cermony shots in the church taking advantage of the chapel and hallways as best we could. We were able to take advantage of a very brief few moments of clear skies with a few photos outside. Not the best scenario, but one we were dealt and had to work with.
The ceremony itself was an elaborate affair with musicians performing while guests were seated followed by a brief concert of songs that meant a lot to Mia and Andre. Just before Mia walked down the aisle, a dancer performed as guests stood to welcome the bride.
After the ceremony, the rain was still coming down so it was off to the reception at the Greensboro Coliseum, where Nicole Conder of Premier Party Planners had transformed the Terrace into a fabulous party. From the start of the party, all the memories of the rain melted away and the guests were treat to a wonderful night. Everyone packed the dance floor thanks to PC Productions DJ and entertainment spinning the tunes that made people want to dance. It was so much fun to be a part of such a great reception.
We are so thankful for all the opportunities to test ourselves with each wedding, with some more challenging than others. But as a husband and wife team we are there together working our way through for our clients and friends.
We also had the opportunity to shoot Mia’s bridal portraits in and around downtown Greensboro NC. Her portraits were stunning and she was an amazing model. Here are just a few that we are excited to finally share.
Congrats to Mia and Andre!

jessica’s bridal photos | outdoor wedding pictures | pixels on paper
Jessica is now married to Chris so we can finally show her awesome bridal photos to the whole world. We photographed these in 95 degree heat and somehow she managed to look as cool as ever, even after a collision with a bench in one of our sets. Jessica asked us during our initial consult to incorporate both her and her now husband’s involvement in the racing industry as well as his love of gator blue and orange into her bridal session. We were more than happy to oblige by finding a set of old fuel pumps in a rustic setting as well as that perfectly shaded gator blue wall. We were grateful that Jessica was so adventuresome and wanted something more than just a traditional portrait. She trusted our creativity and ability to capture light and color allowing the end results to be amazing. Let us know what you think. Our blog loves comments!
Keep watching the blog for Chris and Jessica’s wedding photos coming up soon. To view all of these and other bridal photos and outdoor wedding pictures view the Pixels On Paper website.

erin | bridal photos | pixels on paper
There are so many things we love about Erin, most of which is her gorgeous smile and just being in her company. It’s contagious. She has this energy about her that makes you feel at ease and smile right along with her. She even managed to get us caught up in the daily wedding count-down! The opportunity to photograph her bridal photos gave us that much more time to feel her joy and her excitement. She was positively glowing from the moment she sat down in the makeup chair and then radiating even more joy when she slipped into the dress.
On her own, Erin opted for a more natural photo location knowing that she had chosen modern and urban settings for their engagement photos and wedding day. Mikah Leon at the US National Whitewater Center gave us free reign to do our thing. If you are around Erin any length of time you will find out she is a huge HUGE Tar Heels fan. She came to our shoot with more Carolina Blue props than I could even imagine along with a special little Lady Bug that now holds a very sentimental place in our heart.
Since Erin married her “Sugar Butt” on Saturday we can now happily share our creative photography style in these bridal photos. Thanks Erin for sharing your joy. Enjoy!
This next bridal photo was Erin’s favorite that she displayed at the wedding reception.
Erin and Brad had rally towels custom printed for wedding guests to use during their wedding reception exit. Wait until you see the photo of them in use!
Erin’s makeup was done on site by the wonderful Kelsey Bunzey. In case you missed our earlier post on Kelsey’s work, check it out again here.
Other thanks go to:
Mikah Leon at the US National Whitewater Center for letting us shot on location and photograph many of their weddings.
