Summer vacation is just about over and quickly coming to a close. Kids (and their parents) are looking forward to school. There is excitement in the air for a child returning to school, anticipating starting school, or moving up a grade. Some parents are having to come to grips with a child starting their first day at school whether it be Pre-K or Kindergarten, or an older child’s first day of their last year. It all goes so fast. We’re making capturing these moments easy and ridiculously cute! Pixels On Paper is offering Limited Edition First Day of School portrait sessions on July 26th and 27th in our Wilkesboro, NC portrait studio.
Our limited edition studio backdrop includes fun school props.
Even our pup Chelsea had to get in on the act. I’m not sure if she’s the teacher’s pet or the class clown?
Session fee is $25 plus a $125 minimum print order. A limited number of sessions are available on July 26th & 27th. Children of all ages are welcome. Contact the studio at 336-990-0080 or send us your contact info by email at mail@pixelsonpaper.net to reserve your session! More of our portraits can be viewed at www.pixelsonpaper.biz.

From the moment we first met Ashley and Phil in Charlotte, NC to discuss their wedding photography, we knew their wedding day was going to be a fun day. Not only did they pick one of our favorite venues, the Holiday Inn Center City, but they were also open to whatever creative ideas we came up with for their wedding photos.
From the moment the photos started with Ashley and her bridesmaids, through photos with Phil and his guys, the day just seemed to click. The Holiday Inn offers so many opportunities for great photos, the rooftop is one of our favorites, and was the perfect opportunity for Phil and Ashley to have a moment together, just them (and us of course…) before the day went into high gear.
The ceremony, held on the rooftop rotunda and lead by Reverend Patrick Malloy, went as smooth as you could ask for with nearly perfect weather. Following the ceremony and the family portraits at the ceremony site, we headed into the streets of uptown with the entire bridal party to photograph more wedding pictures.
On the Holiday Inn’s rooftop rotunda, the wedding ceremony site was transformed into the wedding reception site and the sounds from Split Second Sound DJ Derek pumped through the party. Introductions of the Bride and Groom lead straight into their first dance and then into cake smashing. Yes, it’s the moment all wedding guests egg-on, but only occasionally happens. In the end, even with wedding cake icing in the Bride’s eye, the party went on long into the night. Wedding guests enjoyed the opportunity to step into the photo booth from ShutterBooth Charlotte to capture their memories while creating a guestbook for Ashley and Phil. One final serenade of “Take Me Home, Country Roads” by John Denver ended the night as wedding guests joined together on the dance floor to send-off Ashley and Phil into newlywed bliss.
Congratulations, and a huge thank you to Ashley and Phil for the amazing wedding day!

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.

We are so far behind on blogging already this year. Honestly it’s because blogging is very low on our priority list. The 2013 Spring photography season is here and we are in full swing at a fast passed sprint. Because of that, rather than writing blogs, it’s more important to us to provide excellent customer service to our clients and make sure their photos are being edited, PreView Sessions are being had, wall art and albums are being created and delivered in a fast turnaround time. All those reasons aside, we know our followers still want to see more large images and read about all the wedding photos we’ve been taking and the portrait photography we’ve been creating. Just to give you a little taste of what we’ve been up to, here are some peeks at what you will hopefully soon be seeing in full posts on the blog.
We weren’t available to photograph Alisha’s wedding photos but that didn’t stop her from using Pixels On Paper to photograph her Bridal Portraits which we uniquely styled with some of our collection of antiques and photographed right outside our Wilkesboro, NC portrait studio.
Stephanie is a property manager and needed new headshot photography for her company’s website and for use in their print advertising.
Caroline and Andy live in Boston and were married in Caroline’s hometown of Elkin, NC. Pixels On Paper communicated with them long distance to coordinate and provide all of their wedding photography.
Rose Glen Village Senior Living needed commercial photography for a new website that is being designed by a Greensboro based advertising agency. Pixels On Paper collaborated with both Rose Glen and the Ad agency. We had a really fun day hanging out with many of Rose Glen’s residents and capturing lifestyle photography, everyday living in their homes and social environment.
Sarah and Jeremy will be getting married on June 1st. But before that we wanted to get to know them even better by photographing their engagement photos. This entire session was photographed right outside our portrait studio in the NC Mountains.
We captured some gorgeous Charlotte wedding photos for Ashley and Phil who had their wedding in Uptown Charlotte on the Holiday Inn Center City Rooftop Rotunda.
Kristie and Trey will be getting married in July. Their engagement photos gave us an opportunity to see how comfortable they were in front of our camera and get them use to being photographed before the big day. This is another portrait session outside our studio. It’s great to be a photographer in the NC Mountains!
This Asheville NC wedding photography is from Kaitlyn and Denny’s amazing and rainy wedding day at family-owned Raymonds Garden Center. The garden center provided a beautiful backdrop for wedding photography with all the flowers we could possibly imagine. A lot of rain didn’t keep us from getting lots of wedding photos.
Pixels On Paper were the Charlotte wedding photographers for Rich and Amanda in 2009. Now they are expecting their first child and we are blessed to be providing them with Maternity photography and newborn photography as their family grows. They made the trip from Ft. Mill, SC to Wilkesboro, NC to take advantage of the settings at our portrait studio.
This Bridal portrait photo is still a secret since the Bride’s wedding day has not yet arrived. It’s so much fun to integrate into Bride photos something as special to her as the years of dance that have been a part of her life. It also gives us a great opportunity for creative photography.
Bridal Traditions Wedding and Prom attire needed commercial photography created for their new exclusive line of designer wedding gowns. It was a great experience photographing these beautiful gowns inside our portrait studio. The dresses all seemed like they were in the perfect setting in our historic property.

Love is such a powerful emotion, and one that was never more evident than in the wedding ceremony for Katherine Brown and Joshua Isaacs who were married back in November in Wilkesboro, NC. It is easy to see love in this relationship all around. Not only between Josh and Katy, but their love for God and their parents love for them.
Katy’s father, Kevin, is the pastor at Mount Pleasant Baptist Church in Wilkesboro where the ceremony was held in front of close to 400 family, friends and members of the Mt. Pleasant congregation. Of course there was no way he was going to pass up the opportunity to preside over his daughter’s wedding. There was plenty of emotion all around during the ceremony, starting with Josh’s reaction to seeing his bride for the first time, to Kevin’s tearful advice to his daughter and her new husband. The couple even celebrated their first ever kiss together to conclude the ceremony.
After the ceremony, the room was efficiently converted over from seating to tables and chairs for the reception while we took the newlyweds around the church grounds for their first portraits as husband and wife. With Josh dressed in his Marine dress uniform and Katy’s beautiful wedding dress, it was hard not to get a stunning photo.
Walking back into the reception, the afternoon continued with first dances and LOTS of people coming up to offer congratulations. The couple’s final send off into their new married life was running through a gathering of the guests that all had balloons and streamers, but Josh just had to sneak in one last kiss before they jumped into the car.
We wish Katy and Josh all the best!
Be sure to check out Katy’s stunning bridal photography portrait session here.
