Madi and Preston’s Jefferson NC Mountains Outdoor Wedding

Madison Ball and Preston Roberts made it official on July 8th of this year in a small ceremony followed by an epic, large reception. The ceremony was intimate and romantic, and on the groom’s family farm in Warrensville, near a bend in the river, surrounded by 30 or so of their nearest and dearest. No rain, but some tears while they were saying their vows. The reception with 200 guests was held later at Jefferson Landing Country Club in Jefferson, NC and included lots and LOTS of dancing, drinking, karaoke and laughter.

Every item was thoughtfully planned and held special meaning. Preston’s family’s farm has been in the family for several generations, so it was saturated with memories. In fact, Preston’s gift to Madi was a horseshoe that he found while preparing the property for the ceremony. Family members believed that it probably belonged to his great-grandfathers’ mare. They plan to hang it in their home for continued good luck. Madi’s gift to Preston was equally thoughtful and cool: she gave him a hand-crafted watch, made from wood with a special inscription on the back. The beautiful details were everywhere. What was not at the wedding were their rings. They’d been left behind in someone’s car. So they improvised and used Preston’s father Tom’s ring for him and Preston’s sister Meghann’s ring for Madi. It was too funny – and sweet!Roberts Jefferson NC Outdoor Mountain Wedding Photo by Pixels On Paper Photography Wilkesboro Boone Blowing Rock West Jefferson NC Wedding Photographers photoRoberts Jefferson NC Outdoor Mountain Wedding Photo by Pixels On Paper Photography Wilkesboro Boone Blowing Rock West Jefferson NC Wedding Photographers photoRoberts Jefferson NC Outdoor Mountain Wedding Photo by Pixels On Paper Photography Wilkesboro Boone Blowing Rock West Jefferson NC Wedding Photographers photoRoberts Jefferson NC Outdoor Mountain Wedding Photo by Pixels On Paper Photography Wilkesboro Boone Blowing Rock West Jefferson NC Wedding Photographers photoRoberts Jefferson NC Outdoor Mountain Wedding Photo by Pixels On Paper Photography Wilkesboro Boone Blowing Rock West Jefferson NC Wedding Photographers photoFavorite memories of this day for the bride and groom include when they were reading their vows, first seeing each other when Madi and crew made their gorgeous river side entrance and when Preston sang the song he wrote for Madi. Karaoke, drinking and dancing were obviously on the list as well. The reception was an absolute celebration.Roberts Jefferson NC Outdoor Mountain Wedding Photo by Pixels On Paper Photography Wilkesboro Boone Blowing Rock West Jefferson NC Wedding Photographers photoRoberts Jefferson NC Outdoor Mountain Wedding Photo by Pixels On Paper Photography Wilkesboro Boone Blowing Rock West Jefferson NC Wedding Photographers photoRoberts Jefferson NC Outdoor Mountain Wedding Photo by Pixels On Paper Photography Wilkesboro Boone Blowing Rock West Jefferson NC Wedding Photographers photoRoberts Jefferson NC Outdoor Mountain Wedding Photo by Pixels On Paper Photography Wilkesboro Boone Blowing Rock West Jefferson NC Wedding Photographers photoRoberts Jefferson NC Outdoor Mountain Wedding Photo by Pixels On Paper Photography Wilkesboro Boone Blowing Rock West Jefferson NC Wedding Photographers photoRoberts Jefferson NC Outdoor Mountain Wedding Photo by Pixels On Paper Photography Wilkesboro Boone Blowing Rock West Jefferson NC Wedding Photographers photoRoberts Jefferson NC Outdoor Mountain Wedding Photo by Pixels On Paper Photography Wilkesboro Boone Blowing Rock West Jefferson NC Wedding Photographers photoRoberts Jefferson NC Outdoor Mountain Wedding Photo by Pixels On Paper Photography Wilkesboro Boone Blowing Rock West Jefferson NC Wedding Photographers photoRoberts Jefferson NC Outdoor Mountain Wedding Photo by Pixels On Paper Photography Wilkesboro Boone Blowing Rock West Jefferson NC Wedding Photographers photoRoberts Jefferson NC Outdoor Mountain Wedding Photo by Pixels On Paper Photography Wilkesboro Boone Blowing Rock West Jefferson NC Wedding Photographers photoRoberts Jefferson NC Outdoor Mountain Wedding Photo by Pixels On Paper Photography Wilkesboro Boone Blowing Rock West Jefferson NC Wedding Photographers photoRoberts Jefferson NC Outdoor Mountain Wedding Photo by Pixels On Paper Photography Wilkesboro Boone Blowing Rock West Jefferson NC Wedding Photographers photoRoberts Jefferson NC Outdoor Mountain Wedding Photo by Pixels On Paper Photography Wilkesboro Boone Blowing Rock West Jefferson NC Wedding Photographers photoRoberts Jefferson NC Outdoor Mountain Wedding Photo by Pixels On Paper Photography Wilkesboro Boone Blowing Rock West Jefferson NC Wedding Photographers photoRoberts Jefferson NC Outdoor Mountain Wedding Photo by Pixels On Paper Photography Wilkesboro Boone Blowing Rock West Jefferson NC Wedding Photographers photoRoberts Jefferson NC Outdoor Mountain Wedding Photo by Pixels On Paper Photography Wilkesboro Boone Blowing Rock West Jefferson NC Wedding Photographers photoRoberts Jefferson NC Outdoor Mountain Wedding Photo by Pixels On Paper Photography Wilkesboro Boone Blowing Rock West Jefferson NC Wedding Photographers photoRoberts Jefferson NC Outdoor Mountain Wedding Photo by Pixels On Paper Photography Wilkesboro Boone Blowing Rock West Jefferson NC Wedding Photographers photoRoberts Jefferson NC Outdoor Mountain Wedding Photo by Pixels On Paper Photography Wilkesboro Boone Blowing Rock West Jefferson NC Wedding Photographers photoRoberts Jefferson NC Outdoor Mountain Wedding Photo by Pixels On Paper Photography Wilkesboro Boone Blowing Rock West Jefferson NC Wedding Photographers photoRoberts Jefferson NC Outdoor Mountain Wedding Photo by Pixels On Paper Photography Wilkesboro Boone Blowing Rock West Jefferson NC Wedding Photographers photoRoberts Jefferson NC Outdoor Mountain Wedding Photo by Pixels On Paper Photography Wilkesboro Boone Blowing Rock West Jefferson NC Wedding Photographers photoRoberts Jefferson NC Outdoor Mountain Wedding Photo by Pixels On Paper Photography Wilkesboro Boone Blowing Rock West Jefferson NC Wedding Photographers photoRoberts Jefferson NC Outdoor Mountain Wedding Photo by Pixels On Paper Photography Wilkesboro Boone Blowing Rock West Jefferson NC Wedding Photographers photoMadi told us that they wouldn’t change a thing about their wedding day. In fact, she said her only advice to future brides and grooms would be to make the party last longer and do not hesitate to take it all in. “It flies by!” We’re so happy for you guys! Thanks for letting us a be a part of what was a truly great day and part of your family. We love you two!

Happy Anniversary – Wedding Portraits of Celebration

Author and environmentalist Rick Bass has a great quote about the seasons of life:
“My life, I realize suddenly, is July. Childhood is June, and old age is August,
but here it is, July, and my life, this year, is July inside of July.”

Erica & Mark Makowski, 7 years July 2nd

For each of these couples, in their year, in July, they were in the beginning of their new lives. Childhood was June. But they were entering the July inside of July.

Anna & Jordan Isaacs, 6 years July 9th

Elizabeth & Chris Bankett, 8 years July 11th

Jessica & Jason Clinton, 1 year July 16th

Precious & Damon Murray, 9 years July 18th

Lila & Joseph Duke, 6 years July 23rd

From Jessica and Jason, who were married in 2016, to Precious and Damon who’ve been married for 9 years, we hope that for the best and longest Julys in their lives. August can wait. Keep celebrating. Keep enjoying each other. Keep planting and harvesting, knowing how loved you are. Happy Anniversary, all of you!

Autumn Outdoor Bridal Portraits at Leatherwood Mountain Resort

Just a few weeks ago, we shot another June wedding. Katie Vance married Patrick Carlson at Leatherwood Mountain Resort. We photographed Katie’s bridal portraits on November 4, 2016 at this very same spot. Katie wanted photos at Leatherwood both in the fall as well as in the summer to show off the various scenic views. Katie's Leatherwood Mountain bridal portrait by Pixels On Paper NC wedding photographers photo Katie's Leatherwood Mountain bridal portrait by Pixels On Paper NC wedding photographers photo Katie's Leatherwood Mountain bridal portrait by Pixels On Paper NC wedding photographers photo Katie's Leatherwood Mountain bridal portrait by Pixels On Paper NC wedding photographers photo Leatherwood – a place we love and have shot many times for brides and grooms – is a favorite for its bucolic setting and rustic atmosphere. Katie chose it to showcase the opposite. She is more princess than country bride and loves to sparkle. Even the Vans she wore with her gown had purple glitter on them. Katie grew up in Boone and loved being in the glorious mountain views that surrounded her all year. She loved how the mountains could be so massive and still be charming in the details. Her challenge to us was not to photograph the farm’s rustic style but instead to capture the more elegant natural surroundings. We were happy to oblige.

Kendra & Nathan Wed at Elkin’s Barn at Blueberry Hill

On May 20th, we photographed the wedding of Kendra and Nathan as they tied the knot at The Barn at Blueberry Hill in Elkin NC. It was the first time we’ve ever shot a wedding at this venue and we LOVED it. It’s a real barn with a real barn feeling, but with air conditioning (!!) and the owner, event coordinator, setting – everything – was perfect.
What was also perfect was the couple. Even the groom’s goof made the occasion memorable.

Kendra is a lot like me: a Type A personality who wants every single detail to be perfect. She looked gorgeous and so did her bridesmaids in this setting. The weather turned out to be perfect (it rained for 5 days straight after the couple left for their honeymoon) and the guests were so much fun. There were no dull moments!Kendra and Nathan's Barn at Blueberry Hill Elkin Outdoor Wedding Pixels On Paper Photography NC wedding photographers photoKendra and Nathan's Barn at Blueberry Hill Elkin Outdoor Wedding Pixels On Paper Photography NC wedding photographers photoKendra and Nathan's Barn at Blueberry Hill Elkin Outdoor Wedding Pixels On Paper Photography NC wedding photographers photoKendra and Nathan's Barn at Blueberry Hill Elkin Outdoor Wedding Pixels On Paper Photography NC wedding photographers photoKendra and Nathan's Barn at Blueberry Hill Elkin Outdoor Wedding Pixels On Paper Photography NC wedding photographers photoGroom Nathan teared up watching Kendra walk down the aisle. Kendra: “Most people might have needed a tissue after seeing Nathan become a little emotional as I walked in. I luckily, did not. I had the biggest smile on my face that nothing could wipe away. Why? Because I knew I was moments away from marrying the man of my dreams. Sounds cliché; I know, but it’s true. I had waited on that day for many years and that day, the day I had dreamed about for a long time, had finally arrived.” Kendra and Nathan's Barn at Blueberry Hill Elkin Outdoor Wedding Pixels On Paper Photography NC wedding photographers photoKendra and Nathan's Barn at Blueberry Hill Elkin Outdoor Wedding Pixels On Paper Photography NC wedding photographers photoA highlight for the couple (and a laugh moment for the guests) was when the little groomsman just wandered across the aisle while vows were being said. Super cute!!Kendra and Nathan's Barn at Blueberry Hill Elkin Outdoor Wedding Pixels On Paper Photography NC wedding photographers photoThese two told us that Nathan’s performance really hit the high point when he kept messing up repeating his wedding vows. The pastor finally had to turn the page with the written vows so Nathan could just read them instead of trying to repeat them.

They confiscated her belongings.

There was a LOT of laughter and silliness, dancing, chatter and sheer joy. Between Kendra & Nathan’s family members, there are 303 years of marriage experience surrounding them. This bit of info was shared at the ceremony and we thought it was so lovely. We hope that Kendra and Nathan add a minimum of 50 years to that total and enjoy every moment of it.

Celebrating June Wedding Anniversaries | Pixels On Paper NC Wedding Photographers

Ever heard of a June wedding? Me, either, but apparently they are really popular.

Pixels very first wedding was a June wedding – that of Sandy & Mark Sherill on June 18th 2005. That’s where it all began.

So now to Sandy and Mark – our very first wedding shoot. Sandy and I were middle school youth group leaders together as well as friends. She watched for a few years when Ryan and I would take candid photos whenever we were with the youth group. When it came time for her own wedding she asked us a few times if we’d photograph her wedding. We kept saying “no way.” She finally put her foot down after asking four or so times. “You two are going to shoot my wedding.” She was sweet and we caved and it was on. The only complication is that her wedding was at the end of a week that we were chaperones for our youth group’s annual mission trip to the Pittsburgh Project. We left PA early to head to the wedding in Norfolk, VA with a car full of middle school girls who were also attendants in their wedding. YOU CAN’T MAKE THIS STUFF UP! With equipment that was far from professional, packed in suitcases with our mission clothing, we made it and photographed our very first wedding together. 12 years later Sandy and Mark (just below) still love their photos and we’re still friends. Sandy even hired us to photograph her oldest daughter’s wedding years later.
