ashley and kevin | engagement photos | pixels on paper | creative photography
Ashley and Kevin are getting married on September 30th. Never have they been more glad to be getting married later in the year than on the 90 + degree June day we photographed their engagement photos. Even though we started early in the morning the heat was on, both in and out of the photos. But these two were troopers and Kevin kept us in hysterical laughter throughout the session. We teased Kevin about being the center of attention but as the pictures show Ashley certainly knows how to steal his show. We look forward to stepping up with more creative photography for their wedding pictures in September at the Holiday Inn Center City Charlotte.

erin | bridal photos | pixels on paper
There are so many things we love about Erin, most of which is her gorgeous smile and just being in her company. It’s contagious. She has this energy about her that makes you feel at ease and smile right along with her. She even managed to get us caught up in the daily wedding count-down! The opportunity to photograph her bridal photos gave us that much more time to feel her joy and her excitement. She was positively glowing from the moment she sat down in the makeup chair and then radiating even more joy when she slipped into the dress.
On her own, Erin opted for a more natural photo location knowing that she had chosen modern and urban settings for their engagement photos and wedding day. Mikah Leon at the US National Whitewater Center gave us free reign to do our thing. If you are around Erin any length of time you will find out she is a huge HUGE Tar Heels fan. She came to our shoot with more Carolina Blue props than I could even imagine along with a special little Lady Bug that now holds a very sentimental place in our heart.
Since Erin married her “Sugar Butt” on Saturday we can now happily share our creative photography style in these bridal photos. Thanks Erin for sharing your joy. Enjoy!
This next bridal photo was Erin’s favorite that she displayed at the wedding reception.
Erin and Brad had rally towels custom printed for wedding guests to use during their wedding reception exit. Wait until you see the photo of them in use!
Erin’s makeup was done on site by the wonderful Kelsey Bunzey. In case you missed our earlier post on Kelsey’s work, check it out again here.
Other thanks go to:
Mikah Leon at the US National Whitewater Center for letting us shot on location and photograph many of their weddings.

andrea and mike’s | leatherwood mountain wedding | creative photography
Each trip back to Leatherwood Mountains to photograph a mountain wedding is just as special as the first. Before the land was a resort and the old log cabin was a visitor’s center, it was simply mountains, farm land, and a home to members of Misty’s family. We try to capture the history and a bit of that sentimental value for each couple that have decided to exchange their vows in this beautiful portion of Wilkes County.
Recently Abbie, Leatherwood’s awesome wedding coordinator, has created all inclusive wedding packages for everything from an intimate setting for two people in a meadow to an elaborate wedding celebration for guests of a hundred or more. It’s a brilliant idea and especially great for those that are just to busy to be occupied with all the details of a wedding. Andrea and Mike, from Garner, NC took advantage of all Leatherwood and Abbie’s packages had to offer for their destination wedding. What initially was planned as an outdoor ceremony in front of the cabin’s rock chimney was moved inside one of many gorgeous mountain homes due to rain. Set on top of a peak, in front of a 30 foot wall of windows overlooking a picturesque scene of rolling mountains, they still had an incredible backdrop.
We’re happy to share these wedding pictures from Andrea & Mike’s mountain wedding and look forward to our next return to Leatherwood.

james and olivia’s grassy creek vineyard | wedding pictures
We met Olivia almost three years ago when photographing her sister’s wedding. It is always a pleasure being invited back to photograph another family member. Getting to know families and seeing them grow is one of the greatest perks of our job. James and Olivia’s setting at Grassy Creek Vineyard provided amazing outdoor wedding pictures. Surrounded by a wedding party made up of childhood friends, college roommates, and Westpoint classmates, it was a day filled with laughter, tears, and fun until the very end. Southern hospitality, charming outdoor elegance, and military formality only begins to describe their wedding day.
We wish James and Olivia infinite years of bliss. We are truly grateful for them allowing us the honor of capturing their wedding day.

rachel | bridal photos | creative photography
Rachel is beautiful inside and out. Her creative energy is contagious making it easy to photograph her. We are also pretty sure her blood runs Appalachian State University Black and Gold. With her love of ASU and her interest in waterfalls the backdrops for her bridal photos were an easy choice thanks to the Wilkes County landscape.
Most Brides and even more Moms are skeptical that we can keep a wedding dress clean during outdoor portrait photography. Rachel put her complete trust in us, trekking through a location that most would only consider for a trash the dress session. The reward was a bridal portrait she didn’t have to wait until after the wedding to take or share and a dress that was still clean for the wedding day.
Rachel and Ryan were married on Saturday which means we can now share her bridal photos.
Much thanks to Desi Parker of Desi’s Flora and Design Studio for the beautiful bridal portrait and wedding day floral arrangements.
Be sure to view our website galleries for additional bridal photos or a look back and Rachel and Ryan’s ASU themed engagement photos.
