kristin + jason {married} | asbury park grove | pixels on paper

Kristin and Jason’s October wedding was a beautiful nod to her love of all things vintage. There were loads of hydrangeas, lace, studded jewelry, pearls, and diamond details setting the tone. The color pallet of eggplant and pewter looked stunning among the natural setting at Asbury Park Grove. It was also a fun time for us to meet Jason’s family once again after previously photographing his sister Amanda’s wedding and to make new friends with Kristin’s family.

We wish Kristin and Jason all the very best and hope you enjoy this sampling of wedding photos that we have to share.

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!

Enjoy! undefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefined

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.

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.
