wilkes wedding expo | pixels on paper future trophy bride photo booth
We always have so much fun at the bridal shows we participate in. Our philosophy is that we have fun doing what we do, and we love to show that to people. That was never more evident than at the Wilkes Wedding Expo held at the John A. Walker Center in Wilkesboro on Sunday, March 11.
From the time the doors opened, despite the large crowd, we were able to spend some time with brides-to-be (and grooms too!). They were able to browse through all of our sample albums, get pricing information and check our available dates. Misty had people lined up just to get in to see all of our work. It was almost difficult at times to see everyone because it was so busy. If we met you at the show and haven’t already scheduled a one-on-one consult with you be sure to call or email us to set that up.
We also had our Future Trophy Bride contest going on in full effect. The photo booth was set up with more props than should be allowed in one space. All of the Brides that signed up were given our awesome Future Trophy Bride pink t-shirt, given free run at the props, and asked to jump into the photo booth for a few photos. There were some absolutely crazy things going on in the booth. No one around was safe from being pulled into a shot, future-mother-in-laws included!
Big congratulations and thank you to Kelly Shumate with Bridal Traditions Wedding and Prom Attire for organizing and hosting such a successful event. The turn out was amazing, and all of her hard work certainly showed. We hope that all the wedding vendors in attendance experienced a successful show.
And last but not least, we cannot forget to mention Misty’s mom, Kathy. She was invaluable with the booth at the show. She managed to keep Ryan in line with the photo booth, even when there was a long line forming for people wanting their chance.
Anyone planning a wedding will get another chance to visit our wedding photo exhibit booth and get a free t-shirt if you participate in our photo booth this Sunday, March 25th, for the Association of Consultants and Events Services (ACES) High Country Wedding Expo. The expo will be at the ASU Summit Trail Solarium on the Campus of ASU in Boone, NC. Admission is $5 or 5 canned goods. Parking is free Sunday in the College Street / Library Parking Deck. Fashion show begins at 2 p.m. We look forward to meeting many new Brides!

amy + rex {outer banks destination wedding} wedding pictures
We LOVE to travel and photograph in exciting new places, so when Amy and Rex approached us at a wedding we were shooting and asked us to photograph their NC Outer Banks wedding, we were thrilled! Destination weddings are an adventure and we were ready for anything. We packed up all the gear and hit the road to the Hilton Garden Inn at Kitty Hawk the Friday before the wedding and encountered what had to be the windiest road trip in history.
The day of the wedding, the weather would not let up. But both Amy and Rex were up to the challenge as much as we were, and all of us were determined not to let a little coastal flooding and measly 40 mile per hour winds dampen our spirits. Even though the wedding ceremony was moved into the Pier House, we still managed to capture some stunning wedding pictures in the driving wind. With huge help from the wedding party, we managed to hold down our lights and still get shots from the beach with the angry surf.
After the ceremony, we were able to steal them both away from the crowd for a bit of quiet personal time. We found a private area on the entrance to the Currituck Sound and captured more stunning wedding photos. It is apparent that Rex adores Amy by the way he holds her tight and that Amy loves him by the way she relaxes into his embrace. Amy has an infectious smile and spirit that makes others around her come to life. Rex is grounded and has the perfect balance of charm and Trekky wit that makes the two of them an amazing couple.
The reception was a blast. Every detail was planned out all the way from the beach chairs as the cake topper, to the sand dollar gifts for the guests and the messages in a bottle that friends and family left for the couple. The party went long into the night with the help of the DJ who kept the dance floor hopping.
We simply loved being involved with this wedding, and consider Amy and Rex to be good friends. Thanks for allowing us to be a part of your story!!

ashleigh + philip = gorgeous autumn engagement photos in the country
Ashleigh and Philip wanted to take advantage of what was remaining of the gorgeous fall foliage in the Wilkes County mountains for their engagement photos while a bit of the color still remained. We found a perfect hidden gem of a spot that suited them just perfectly. Surrounded by trees wrapped in vibrant colors, running water, wooden bridges and golden hay bails, these two love birds were the perfect feature in an environment that they seemed more than comfortable to be a part of.
We are looking forward to photographing their outdoor wedding in Wilkes next May. In the meantime show us and them some love on the blog. Our blog loves comments!

amber + wesley {married} at camp sky ranch | outdoor country wedding
After a couple years of planning all of Amber and Wesley’s time and energy came together on one spectacular fall wedding day in the Blue Ridge Mountains at Camp Sky Ranch. The venue itself provided an amazing backdrop and is one of Blowing Rock’s hidden jewels. If you haven’t heard about it you want to read the history here and learn what Jack and his wife Lori have brought to life.
Like many of the weddings we photograph this event was a family affair. Everyone worked together for days to decorate, coordinate, and celebrate the union. Family members baked and decorated the cake and cooked all the homemade southern foods for the reception. Bouquets, floral arrangements and candle decorations inspired by the Autumn surroundings were designed by Denise Brooks of Innovative Occasions.
Let us know what you think of Amber and Wesley’s outdoor wedding pictures. Our blog loves comments!
We are so thankful to have been a part of Amber and Wesley’s special day. They put their trust in our creative photography to capture their day. We could not be any happier with what we were able to capture. Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Douglas!
In case you missed them, be sure to take a look at Amber’s gorgeous bridal photos!

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.
