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.
Special thanks to the vendors we worked along side: Ceremony Florist: Eden House Floral, Bride’s Attire: Bridal Traditions Wedding & Prom Attire, Ceremony & Reception Venue: Rendezvous Mountain State Park.

We had the complete pleasure of photographing Mickey’s bridal portraits at a private home just outside of Charlotte NC alongside our friend Greg Forwerck and videographer Bryon Bench. Mickey is a very talented artist that is gorgeous inside and out. Her dress was to die for and her bohemian style was easy to photograph. You’ll be seeing a lot more pics both here on our blog when we post her and Ben’s Asheville NC wedding, in our current ad campaign, and in the current Jan/March 2014 issue of Carolina Bride Magazine which features their Claxton Farm wedding day. Keep a look out!

If you read the story in the previous blog post about Megan and Jeff’s engagement session then you already know how excited we were to photograph their Charlotte NC wedding at the Mint Museum. (If you missed that blog post read it here.) They were fun, precious, and oh so in love. The sweetest sentiment, XOXO defines them and they’ve got tons of text messages to each other that prove it. Try to spot all of those simple but meaningful little letters of the alphabet throughout the detail wedding photos. Thank you Megan and Jeff for letting us photograph a special day in your love story.

Wedding shows are always a lot of work for us, but it is such a rewarding experience when we get the follow up from a couple we have had a few moments to chat with in a crowded exhibit hall. We love getting the opportunity to hear a bit of a couple’s story, but let’s be honest, the shows can be overwhelming for a couple to attend and leaves very little time to get all the juicy wedding day details. So when Amber and Clark scheduled a follow up consult at our Wilkesboro photo studio after attending the ACES fall wedding show at Appalachian State University, all the hard work to participate in the show paid off.
After the show, we had the chance to meet with these Salisbury native in our Wilkesboro photo studio and learn more details about their NC mountain destination wedding at Leatherwood Mountains in Wilkes County. Their ceremony was going to be a fun filled day with lots of DIY touches and family help. Not to mention their love for all things Appalachian State University and the simple touches of ASU that would be incorporated into the outdoor wedding festivities.
The Leatherwood Mountains cabin stage was the location they chose to say their vows, with the covered pavilion for the reception. With Amber being a graduate from App State, it was certain that the black and gold colors would play a prominent role, both in the bridesmaids dresses, but also in the floral arrangements, all the way down to the tailgate style reception.
After the post-ceremony photos were complete, Amber and Clark made a grand entrance into the covered pavilion through the crowd of guests waving their black and gold streamers. Having spent a lot of time in Boone NC while at ASU for college, Amber had Woodlands BBQ cater the diner, because everyone (including Ryan) LOVES a good pig pickin’! Virtual Sounds Entertainment was on hand to make sure that this party went long into the night. With all the dancing guests and former ASU cheerleaders there was lots of dust kicked up on the dance floor!
We wish Amber and Clark all the best as they start their new life together as husband and wife!

Weddings in the NC mountains are always a favorite for us, especially when the ceremony is held outdoor at Leatherwood Mountains located in Ferguson NC near Boone in the NC High Country. The backdrops that the mountains offer are second to none with endless possibilities around Leatherwood resort.
Long before Sarah and Jeremy’s wedding day, we had the opportunity to photograph Sarah’s bridal photography. We have been wanting to do a “peach blossom shoot” for a long time, and when the timing was right, we were lucky enough for great weather. We photographed among the peach and apple blossoms in orchards in Brushy Mountain, NC. Sarah’s dance background allowed us to push her posing a little farther than we normally get to do, and the results were simply stunning! We got creative by incorporating Sarah’s life as a dancer and love for horses as you can see in her bride photos shown below.
Sarah and Jeremy chose the perfect wedding day. With a nice breeze blowing through the NC Mountains and fair temperatures, they said their “I do’s” at the main Leatherwood cabin in front of their families and closest friends. When you are surrounded by horse stables and have a love for horses, what better way to arrive at the ceremony site than in a horse-drawn carriage. Sarah stepped out of the carriage and walked to a waiting Jeremy at the end of the aisle where they exchanged vows that they wrote for each other. After they lit the unity candle and exchanged rings, they were announced as husband and wife and had their first kiss as a married couple.
Following the post ceremony photos with Sarah and Jeremy off in the meadow and in the stables, all of the guests were treated to a wonderful reception in the covered riding ring surrounded by details of hand made decor and plenty of personal touches. A BBQ dinner was catered by Tipton’s of Wilkesboro NC while Ball and Ball DJ entertained the guests.
After a long afternoon of celebration, it was finally time to let the newlyweds head off to their honeymoon, but not before one last dance. While guests headed out of the riding ring to line up for the bubble send-off, Sarah and Jeremy got the chance to have the place to themselves for one final wedding dance.
Be sure to check out Sarah and Jeremy’s engagement portraits here if you have not seen them.
We are grateful to have been Sarah & Jeremy’s chosen wedding photographers and we wish them a life full of romance.
