We photographed Hope and Taylor’s wedding at Crestwood Resort and Spa in Blowing Rock, NC. But prior to their wedding day we had the opportunity to visit the exact location on the campus of Wake Forest University where Taylor proposed to Hope when she was a student there. It was the perfect backdrop for their engagement session and allowed them an opportunity to take a break from wedding day planning and reminisce where their relationship first began. Enjoy a few of the engagement photos from the day that we spent with them and be on the lookout for the blog including their Blowing Rock wedding photos.

Denny & Kaitlyn’s NC Mountain Destination Wedding Photography
Denny & Kaitlyn live in Charlotte, NC but rather than have a Charlotte wedding they opted for a NC Mountain destination wedding in Hendersonville, NC. As husband and wife wedding photographers that love to travel anywhere anytime, a Hendersonville wedding was a wonderful opportunity for us to photograph in a new scenic backdrop.
The wedding venue was Raymond’s Garden Center. Raymond’s also grew and designed all the wedding flower arrangements and wedding bouquets. The ceremony was in the middle of the nursery surrounded by all the flowers and trees you can imagine. A tent was on the property for the wedding reception. Although the skies were gray and overcast the weather was perfect for wedding photography and all the colors in the gardens and coral worn by the wedding party was vibrant.
Kaitlyn and Denny shared a “first look” with with each other before the ceremony. This moment was a time to ease nerves and anxiety. It also allowed the bride and groom to have a time to themselves to relish in the moment before being surrounded by people and caught up in the rush of the rest of their wedding day. The grin on Denny’s face when he saw his bride is a memory we’ll never forget and with us photographing that moment from a distance never will they.
As the wedding ceremony began the rain also started to fall. Everyone took it in stride. Kaitlyn at one point during the ceremony looked up to the sky and smiled as if nothing was going to dampen her day. Even rain can’t take away from the beauty of NC Mountain weddings. They finalized their vows and Denny sealed it with a very romantic dip and kiss as husband and wife.
The down-pouring rain encouraged us to get creative with post ceremony wedding photos. We found a hidden treasure inside one of Raymond’s greenhouses.
After photos everyone was ready to celebrate under the shelter of the tent. And party they did. The dance floor stayed hopping all night thanks to Gordon Hensley of Digital DJs, one of our favorite wedding vendors to work with who is also located in the NC High Country.
It was such an honor to be a part of this wedding and we are grateful to Denny and Kaitlyn for choosing Pixels On Paper as their wedding photographer and allowing us to capture their photography and memories from their beautiful NC mountain destination wedding.

Caroline & Andy’s NC Mountain Destination Wedding Photography
We are always honored when we find out that a couple contacts us because of a referral from a past wedding client. Caroline and Andy took the advice from not one, but two of our Bride and Groom couples and contacted us all the way from Boston to capture their NC Mountain destination wedding photography.
The entire day was a great blending of two different families and cultures with nods to both sprinkled throughout the wedding ceremony and in to the wedding reception.
We started the day off with a “first look” with Caroline and Andy and rolled right through the family photos and wedding party, so that after the wedding ceremony, we could get to the wedding reception and photograph a few more wedding photos before starting the party for the rest of the evening.
The interior of Elkin Presbyterian Church is gorgeous and made for a perfect setting for the wedding. With Caroline raised in the Presbyterian church, and Andy raised in the Jewish faith, every effort was made in combining elements from both backgrounds, including closing the ceremony with the kiss, then the breaking of the glass before walking out of the church as husband and wife.
The day took a bit of a twist between their wedding photos after the ceremony and the introductions at the wedding reception. We received a phone call from Caroline’s sister and the Maid of Honor where she let us know that they were going to make a detour before the reception, to the Emergency Room. Yes, the E.R.! Earlier in the day, Caroline did as any Bride would do, and placed her engagement ring on her right hand for the wedding ceremony. But with the heat and humidity and nerves, her finger swelled to the point where the ring would not come off and began to cut off the circulation in her finger. The good news is, after a brief experience in the E.R. where the Bride and Groom were the center of attention, the ring was removed undamaged and they were off to Old Beau Golf and Country Club in Roaring Gap NC to celebrate their marriage.
And party they did. The dance floor stayed hopping all night thanks to All Around Raleigh DJ. At one point late in the evening, Andy and Caroline were each hoisted up in a chair for the traditional Jewish Hora, or Wedding Chair Dance, and danced around the room surrounded by friends and family.
It was such an honor to be a part of this wedding and we are grateful to Andy and Caroline for taking the advice of friends and choosing Pixels On Paper as their wedding photographer.

pixels on paper interviewed by carolina bride magazine for mountain comfort article
What an honor to have both wedding photography by Pixels On Paper and an interview featured in the April/June 2013 issue of Carolina Bride wedding magazine! Carolina Bride magazine is one of the top wedding resource magazines in the Charlotte, NC area and is branching out to reach Brides and Grooms in the NC Mountains and couples planning destination weddings there. Recently having relocated our portrait photography and wedding photography business from Charlotte to the NC Mountains Carolina Bride reached out to us to receive suggestions for those planning a mountain wedding on how to make their guests more comfortable in a mountain environment. We’ve been specializing in NC Mountain wedding photography for almost eight years and although not an expert on wedding planning, it was a pleasure to share our experience and perspective in the article titled Mountain Comfort. You can read the full article featured below or stop by our portrait studio to pick up a Carolina Bride magazine.

lucy & glen’s valle crucis wedding photography | pixels on paper boone wedding photographers
Late last year Pixels On Paper Photography found what is sure to be one of our absolute favorite wedding venues in the NC Mountains in Valle Crucis, NC while photographing a fall wedding located at the Inn at Little Pond Farm. The Inn is a French Country house nestled in a pine grove surrounded by a mountain meadow. Like something you would see straight out of a magazine! The owners Gaye and Frank have thought of everything and created the perfect atmosphere for quaint, intimate, weddings in the NC High Country for locals and for those planning destination weddings in the NC Mountains.
Combine this beautiful location and perfect Fall foliage with the most adorable Bride and Groom and we have the ultimate dream for wedding photographers. Lucy & Glen are each in their 50s and this was the first marriage for both. They desired an intimate, fun experience with immediate family and close friends in the North Carolina mountains during the Fall season for their wedding and one that did not necessarily conform to convention.
The outdoor ceremony was followed by a candle lit reception with a 5 course dinner inside the Inn at Little Pond prepared on-site by a private chef. All the guests sat around one long farm table and enjoyed their meal together and celebrated.
We love this description directly from Lucy that describes the unique details of their wedding: “The perspective of the “perfect wedding” can change over the years. As a 50+ year old couple, we are not just starting out in our adult life. We both have experienced full, single lives. For each of us, that life included traveling to unique parts of the world. Our wedding needed to reflect a special bond and joy between two mature, independent individuals whose single life journeys will now become a shared sojourn.”
As a surprise to Lucy, Glen contacted Pixels On Paper prior to the wedding without Lucy knowing and arranged special music and extra photo time with us after the guests had departed to capture their romantic wedding dance.
