Weddings in the NC mountains are some of our very favorite to photograph. The surroundings are always changing, there is beautiful scenery at every turn and there are so many different venues to choose from for locals or those choosing the mountains for a destination wedding location. Not to mention that we have four very distinct seasons which locals tend to take for granted.

Our Bride, Lauren, is a Charlotte, NC native and her Groom, Patrick, was once also, but now active duty means home is wherever work is. They opted for a destination wedding in the heart of the NC High Country in West Jefferson at a brand new outdoor venue, The Big Red Barn. From the day we photographed outdoor engagement photos for this couple, we knew being involved with their wedding day was going to be incredible. In case you missed their engagement portraits, click here.

Their wedding day was filled with love, helping hands and details from every aspect of their lives. It was a kid-friendlly event since Lauren and Patrick are now a blended family unit. Their daughters each played an active role in the ceremony. Each walking down the aisle with their parent and being a part of the couple’s vows, which were precious moments to witness and photograph. We honor and treasure moments like these. We don’t take our roles as wedding photographers lightly. It’s one day that can’t be reenacted, often filled with fleeting candid moments, and precious opportunities to photograph family members from near and far that are rarely all together for moments like these. We work hard to capture all of the images and take our roles very seriously so that each couple will have treasures to hold on to and heirlooms to pass along.

We hope you can see and feel the love in these photographs. Thank you Lauren and Patrick for trusting Pixels On Paper Photography to tell the story of your wedding day.

sierra & casey |outdoor mountain wedding purlear nc | rendezvous mountain state park | pixels on paper wedding photographers

Life doesn’t always goes as planned. Even the most well-layed plans have a way of going astray. That seems to especially be the case when it comes to weddings. Occasionally we have the opportunity to be a part of a wedding that has not been in the works for years, but only a few months or weeks. There are no elaborate plans, timelines, checklists, or 100s involved. There are only two people deeply in love and family or friends there to support that the only thing which matters is the commitment they are making to God and to each other. This was the case with Sierra and Casey’s wedding. Simple, rustic, country are all words that would describe the day as well as the Bride and Groom.

Simple has a way of being incredibly personal, romantic and beautiful. Being able to witness and photograph moments like these are a blessing. A wedding such as this is a day that is not tainted by countless Pinterest boards and must-have reenactments but rather opportunities for us to create photographs that are completely unique and personalized. The idyllic forrest, out-of-the-way setting in the NC Mountains at Rendezvous Mountain State Park in Purlear perfectly lent itself to this couple and their personality.

Casey & Sierra, thank you for trusting us to photograph the memories of your wedding day and tell your story through photos. We wish you a life together full of countless blessings. For the rest of you, enjoy a little peek into their wedding day.

We were even given the time and opportunity to have fun at the local Fire Department, Broadway in North Wilkesboro NC, where Casey is a volunteer fireman where we created some uniquely personal creative photos.

shanna & ethan’s rustic wedding photography | pixels on paper nc mountain wedding photographers

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.

ashleigh and philip’s nc mountain wedding

Ashleigh and Philip were married in the NC mountains back on May 26 in a wonderfully detailed and well-planned outdoor ceremony.

Ever since having the pleasure of photographing their engagement photos and Ashleigh’s bridal portraits, we have been amazed at the love this couple has for each other. Both have the gift of caring for others, with Philip working as a paramedic in Wilkes County and Ashleigh attending nursing school, and it shows when they are with each other even more.
The ceremony was held outdoors on Ashleigh’s parents’ land next to the river. Guests parked at the field next to the house and were driven down to the ceremony/reception site via golf carts. We recognized immediately how much work had to have gone into the preparation. A small stage was set up for the ceremony along with chairs for all guests surrounded by the lush greenery, the river and an amazing array of pink floral arrangements adding pops of color to the landscape. On the opposite end of the field was an array of tents that were set up to provide shade for guests, a tent for the cake, and a tent for the caterers; all necessary to fight the warm temperatures. Just before the ceremony, things did cool off a little with a brief rain shower, but everyone took it in stride and when the rain stooped, the ceremony went off without a hitch.

The reception kicked off with a mini concert by the group Pistols and Petticoats with guests dancing to some good country music.
Family touches were all around the reception site, from the candy bar for guests, to the decorations on the tables, down to the peach Ne-HI Soda, Ashleigh’s favorite. Even the tents were lit up as the day turned to night with stage lighting in pink and green, the colors from the wedding. It was all in the details.
A few other special touches stand out to us for this high country wedding. Ashleigh and Philip did cut a cake topper, but guests were treated to cupcakes in 10 different flavors! (Pink lemonade was Misty’s favorite) The night concluded with a fireworks display under which Ashleigh and Philip had one final kiss before heading off to their honeymoon through the line up family and friends with party poppers.
Congrats Ashleigh and Philip!

thomas and jennifer’s charlotte wedding | st. mary’s chapel

Who knew something as simple as knowing and being fluent in another language could lead to love and ultimately a fabulous wedding?

Both Jennifer and Thomas were born in Germany to US military parents stationed overseas, but never met until after they moved back stateside. It was a chance meeting in a bar one night where Thomas overheard Jennifer claiming to know German and tested her on it. Just over three years later in the intimate Saint Mary’s Chapel in Charlotte NC, they said their vows in front of family and friends from near and far. As the ceremony concluded, a bag piper was on hand to lead the couple out of the Chapel and into their married life.

The ceremony and reception were filled with details that Jennifer and Thomas spent a lot of time making themselves. We love when couples put their own touches on everything from the programs, to the chapel door decorations and an homage to their German heritage with the Jeep they drove to the reception in being decorated on the front and back with flowers.

The day was personal to the two of them all the way down to the entrance into the reception. Since Thomas is such a HUGE Star Wars fan, the entrance into the Maggiano’s ball room was through a Marine’s style crossed light sabers tunnel created by their bridal party. The Star wars theme carried over to the cake topper as well with the figures of Han Solo and  Princess Leia representing them.

It was amazing to see two families that had not had much time spent together having such a good time. It was as if they had known each other for a long time. From our perspective, seeing how seamlessly the conversations could go from English to German depending on who was speaking, was wonderful. That only helped the party get going and the dance floor stay active all night.

One final detail that we loved being a part of, was the last dance of the night with just Jennifer and Thomas alone, not only alone on the dance floor, but in the entire room with the exception of us photographers and the DJ. It was such a great moment to be a witness to, and something that helped top off the night in a special way. After the last dance it was off to happily ever after through the sparkler lines of family and friends.

 

Congrats to Jennifer and Thomas on a wonderful day and marriage!
