Denny & Kaitlyn live in Charlotte, NC but rather than have a Charlotte wedding they opted for a NC Mountain destination wedding in Hendersonville, NC. As husband and wife wedding photographers that love to travel anywhere anytime, a Hendersonville wedding was a wonderful opportunity for us to photograph in a new scenic backdrop.
The wedding venue was Raymond’s Garden Center. Raymond’s also grew and designed all the wedding flower arrangements and wedding bouquets. The ceremony was in the middle of the nursery surrounded by all the flowers and trees you can imagine. A tent was on the property for the wedding reception. Although the skies were gray and overcast the weather was perfect for wedding photography and all the colors in the gardens and coral worn by the wedding party was vibrant.
Kaitlyn and Denny shared a “first look” with with each other before the ceremony. This moment was a time to ease nerves and anxiety. It also allowed the bride and groom to have a time to themselves to relish in the moment before being surrounded by people and caught up in the rush of the rest of their wedding day. The grin on Denny’s face when he saw his bride is a memory we’ll never forget and with us photographing that moment from a distance never will they.
As the wedding ceremony began the rain also started to fall. Everyone took it in stride. Kaitlyn at one point during the ceremony looked up to the sky and smiled as if nothing was going to dampen her day. Even rain can’t take away from the beauty of NC Mountain weddings. They finalized their vows and Denny sealed it with a very romantic dip and kiss as husband and wife.
The down-pouring rain encouraged us to get creative with post ceremony wedding photos. We found a hidden treasure inside one of Raymond’s greenhouses.
After photos everyone was ready to celebrate under the shelter of the tent. And party they did. The dance floor stayed hopping all night thanks to Gordon Hensley of Digital DJs, one of our favorite wedding vendors to work with who is also located in the NC High Country.
It was such an honor to be a part of this wedding and we are grateful to Denny and Kaitlyn for choosing Pixels On Paper as their wedding photographer and allowing us to capture their photography and memories from their beautiful NC mountain destination wedding.

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!!

Having already shot Kevin and Ashley’s engagement photos back in July, we knew that this was going to be not only a fun wedding, but one that promised to give us some great portfolio material with loads of awesome wedding pictures. And they did not disappoint! Ashley was simply stunning and Kevin brought a whole new meaning to the GQ style. You can just tell when couples are “made for each other,” and these two definitely are.
A touching ceremony on the rooftop rotunda at the Holiday Inn Center City Charlotte, in which there were few dry eyes, led into a jumping party in the ballroom. Split Second Sound provided the music, with MC/DJs Rashaad and Neil keeping the party going all night. Kevin even jumped in on the mic to sing along and entertain friends on more than one occasion!
We are so thankful to have been a part of Ashley and Kevin’s special day, and look at the fantastic wedding photos we have to add to our collection! They put their trust in our creative photography to capture their day and told us to “do what you do” and we could not be any happier with what we were able to capture. Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Ellis!
In case you missed them, be sure to take a look at Ashely & Kevin’s gorgeous engagement pictures!
