Shanna & Ethan were high school sweethearts. They rarely spent a day since they began dating or even before, not speaking to each other. Even when getting a higher education and a great distance was between them, they still managed to maintain their relationship and love for one another. Only recently when Ethan was dispatched to go fight forest fires in Alaska did these two miss a day of talking to each other. It’s a sweet love story that at one point in time was the norm, but in this now fast-paced life, when families rarely grow up in the same place and people loose touch with their childhood friends it rarely occurs. It’s just another reason why we love our new found small-town living, getting to meet and get to know couples like Shanna & Ethan.
Acknowledging all of their family, friends and heritage, the wedding and reception took place in the small NC Mountain community of Ferguson, near Boone NC, where they both grew up. Thanks to her creative talents and experience as a teacher, Shanna brought her vision of a rustic country wedding to life with ideas she found and created from Pinterest. Details and sentimental touches were everywhere. With the help of family and friends, a small country church and a historic one-room school house were transformed.
It was a blessing to see young and old fill the pews of the church. All the years of waiting for this moment and all the hours of work spent in preparation no longer mattered as soon as the church doors opened, Shanna entered, and Ethan saw his bride. As a symbol of their unity during the wedding ceremony Shanna and Ethan planted a tree together using soil from each of the homes where they were raised. The tree has since been planted at the home that they now call their own.
We are grateful to have been Shanna and Ethan’s chosen wedding photographers and we wish them a life full of romance as their love story continues.

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.

It’s amazing to get to document through photos the important moments of so many people’s lives. Photographing the announcement of a baby is so very special, especially for a couple that like many others have had difficulty. Since getting that first phone call from Nikki I knew this would be something special. Our pre portrait session consult was filled with hope, thankfulness of the blessing she has received and a few lumps in my throat as she explained her and her husband’s journey to have a child. Nikki and Chris fully realize and appreciate the importance of portraits to capture these moments that document the journey. She mentioned to me that because she doesn’t know when or if they will have another child she doesn’t want any regrets or missed opportunities. She seriously even appreciates the experience of morning sickness!
Nikki is a beautiful mama. I love her smile and her outlook on life. Her creativity and eagerness to spread the love combined with the tenderness and affection that Chris shows as he cares for her is going to make the next 9 months of photos an absolute thrill. Not to mention their adorable fur-baby Diamond, a precious English Bulldog who makes her Pixels portrait debut helping to announce baby Huffman. Because of our complete Baby Package, Pixels On Paper is going to be their photographer all along the way including baby announcement photos, maternity photography, newborn portraits, six months and first year portraits.
We’ve compiled photos from their Baby Is Coming photography session to create this short video. Hope you enjoy it!
Below are the precious 5×5 tri-fold custom baby announcements we designed and printed for Nikki and Chris to mail.
All of these photographs were captured at our portrait studio in the NC High Country in Wilkesboro, NC at 1198 Curtis Bridge Road.

While you’ve been waiting for the next big blog post we’ve been moving straight from the Summer wedding season into the rush of Fall wedding season.

Don’t worry we’ll be filling you in on all the lovely details for each of these weddings as soon as we get a breather and can reflect back. Stay tuned!
