Wilkes Wedding Expo 2020


Pixels has been photographing the Wilkes Wedding Expo for years. Owner of Bridal Traditions and Expo Host, Kelly Shumate is one of my best friends, so of course we photographed the latest one in March of 2020.

For years, the Expo has been a place for brides-to-be to find vendors and see their hypothetical dreams played out in various applications. Wedding industry experts flock to this early spring event year after year at Wilkes Community College. Pixels has exhibited annually over the years, as have pals of ours in the catering, DJ, event planning and venue realms. If you are looking for ideas, this is an Expo worth attending and if you are a vendor who wants to get in front of prospects, consider exhibiting!

2020 was Kelly Shumate’s last year hosting. She is celebrating 20 years in the Bridal Boutique & Prom business and wants to stay focused on that in the foreseeable future. But for the 2020 Expo, she took on a wonderful co-sponsor – Kelli Rodriquez of Embellished Events for You. Beginning in 2021, Kelli and Embellished will be the new hosts! Congrats and best of luck with this important annual event.

Wedding & Bridal Shows coming up | See you there!

We’ve met more wonderful clients at bridal shows and expos than we can count. We’ve set up our area and then spent the day chatting with brides-to-be, their moms and friends and future mothers-in-law and booking weddings, bridal portraits and Quinceañeras. But honestly, we’ve booked all sorts of other events and portrait sessions, so if you’re planning an event in 2017, either of these shows would be worth your time as you build on ideas and search for excellent vendors.

Some serious lifelong friendships were born in little wedding expo booths, so we’re proud to announce two that are coming up in a few weeks. The Ashe Bridal and Special Event Fair is Sunday March 5th from 12-4 at Ashe County High School – less than a month away.

The Wilkes Wedding Expo is another special event we’ve loved to participate in and we’ll be there again this year. Join us on March 12 from 1-4 at The John A Walker Center in Wilkesboro. Click here for tickets to the Wilkes Wedding Expo.

Fun at the photo booth, Wilkes Wedding Expo

Later in April, you can visit us at The High South Wedding Expo held on Sunday April 23rd, 2017 at the Boone Mall in partnership with Savor Blowing Rock from 1:00pm – 4:00pm.

Even if you’re just beginning to plan, it’s never too early to start making connections with all the different types of vendors you’ll need for your wedding day and all of us are eager to hear your story and work with you to make sure that everything happens just the way you want it. We look forward to seeing you at one or both of these expos, but we’d also love to chat with you more personally, so feel free to contact us any time.

We love family portraits whether they are set in the studio, the great outdoors, a specific location like the mountains or high country, or on our property in our outdoor portrait garden. Pixels on Paper photographs, engagements and weddingsbrides, and special events and portraits  of all kinds in our Wilkesboro, NC studio. We would be honored to meet with you, learn about you and your family and be a part of taking special portraits that will become, we hope, family heirlooms.
