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.

rachel and ryan’s outdoor wedding pictures | pixels on paper creative photography
Rachel and Ryan were married during a beautiful outdoor setting in the labyrinth at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Wilkesboro. Their love for each other, family, and ASU were evident everywhere, especially in the hand-made details. Surrounded by so many close friends and getting to know them and their family over the past year made it easy for us to get caught up in the excitement.
The gorgeous yellow flower arrangements were designed by Desi’s Floral and Design Studio.
Every emotion possible from laughter to tears were displayed during their very personal ceremony.
A very lively reception followed in the St. Paul’s Parrish Hall. Cake design by Teresa Greene of Magical Memories.
In case you missed it, be sure to check out Rachel and Ryan’s earlier ASU inspired Engagement Photos in our Facebook post and Rachel’s Bridal Photos on the blog. We wish these two a lifetime of happiness together.

andrea and mike’s | leatherwood mountain wedding | creative photography
Each trip back to Leatherwood Mountains to photograph a mountain wedding is just as special as the first. Before the land was a resort and the old log cabin was a visitor’s center, it was simply mountains, farm land, and a home to members of Misty’s family. We try to capture the history and a bit of that sentimental value for each couple that have decided to exchange their vows in this beautiful portion of Wilkes County.
Recently Abbie, Leatherwood’s awesome wedding coordinator, has created all inclusive wedding packages for everything from an intimate setting for two people in a meadow to an elaborate wedding celebration for guests of a hundred or more. It’s a brilliant idea and especially great for those that are just to busy to be occupied with all the details of a wedding. Andrea and Mike, from Garner, NC took advantage of all Leatherwood and Abbie’s packages had to offer for their destination wedding. What initially was planned as an outdoor ceremony in front of the cabin’s rock chimney was moved inside one of many gorgeous mountain homes due to rain. Set on top of a peak, in front of a 30 foot wall of windows overlooking a picturesque scene of rolling mountains, they still had an incredible backdrop.
We’re happy to share these wedding pictures from Andrea & Mike’s mountain wedding and look forward to our next return to Leatherwood.

james and olivia’s grassy creek vineyard | wedding pictures
We met Olivia almost three years ago when photographing her sister’s wedding. It is always a pleasure being invited back to photograph another family member. Getting to know families and seeing them grow is one of the greatest perks of our job. James and Olivia’s setting at Grassy Creek Vineyard provided amazing outdoor wedding pictures. Surrounded by a wedding party made up of childhood friends, college roommates, and Westpoint classmates, it was a day filled with laughter, tears, and fun until the very end. Southern hospitality, charming outdoor elegance, and military formality only begins to describe their wedding day.
We wish James and Olivia infinite years of bliss. We are truly grateful for them allowing us the honor of capturing their wedding day.

rachel | bridal photos | creative photography
Rachel is beautiful inside and out. Her creative energy is contagious making it easy to photograph her. We are also pretty sure her blood runs Appalachian State University Black and Gold. With her love of ASU and her interest in waterfalls the backdrops for her bridal photos were an easy choice thanks to the Wilkes County landscape.
Most Brides and even more Moms are skeptical that we can keep a wedding dress clean during outdoor portrait photography. Rachel put her complete trust in us, trekking through a location that most would only consider for a trash the dress session. The reward was a bridal portrait she didn’t have to wait until after the wedding to take or share and a dress that was still clean for the wedding day.
Rachel and Ryan were married on Saturday which means we can now share her bridal photos.
Much thanks to Desi Parker of Desi’s Flora and Design Studio for the beautiful bridal portrait and wedding day floral arrangements.
