Dana and Dan

I had the pleasure of shooting with Dana and Dan yesterday. Dana was my mystery bride in a previous post. I loved her bridal portrait session, but didn't want anyone to see the bride before her wedding day. I've posted a sneak peak from the wedding day. They were blessed with a beautiful day for their wedding. The weather was perfect, and the temperature was just right. The event was at the RosaLee Manor in Pilot Mountain, NC. It's always so wonderful to see couples so completely in love. Dan and Dana are a natural together. I am sure they will have many wonderful, love filled years ahead.

Susan and Chris... The wedding day

I had the wonderful opportunity to be apart of Susan and Chris's wedding day last weekend. They had a wonderful day of events. By day Susan and Chris looked like your average wedding couple. With a beautiful ceremony. By night they had both changed into traditional Indian Wedding clothing. With Susan it didn't matter what she was wearing she was a stunning bride! She and Chris just illuminate with love for each other.

Beautiful Bride

I had one of my favorite bridal session a couple of days ago. The bride looked beautiful, she was a classic vintage bride! She doesn't tie the knot until September so I can't put many images up yet, but as soon as their wedding arrives I'll be posting more. Here is a sneak peak that doesn't reveal who the beautiful bride is!

Molly's a senior...

I had the pleasure of shooting Molly Haynes senior portraits last week. Molly was chosen as one of my senior models for the Class of 2009. Molly attends Statesville High School where she is crazy busy! She is the Captain of the Volleyball team, on the Yearbook staff, in the Beta club, and she holds down a part time job as well. Molly has overcome her hearing obstacle, with a Cochlear implant. She is a great role model for her family and students all around. I had a great time shooting with her! She was a natural.

I am still accepting applications and essays for Class of 2009 senior models. If you know someone who is interested please let them know!

Cool picture...

I've been working on some new images, and this one from Susan and Chris's engagement is a favorite. I love the way this looks! Just had to post it!

Just Catching Up...

My family and I were able to sneak off for a week of vacation. We were fortunate to go to St. Augustine, Florida for the week. My grandparents built a home there in the 60's and its been my family vacation destination since we were born. Everyone enjoyed relaxing days on the beach and some good fishing. We caught 3 different kinds of sharks fishing off the beach! I felt like I was on assignment for National Geographic. After we got back I was a vendor at the Belk Bridal Showcase in Charlotte. It was a great show, it's always neat to see all of the other vendors in action. Here are a couple of images from the beach.

Our dog Lucy got in on the fishing as well. She was missing
for over a month in June and July and we are so happy she's home again!
She had to make the beach trip with us.

This is a view of the beach from the house. There was
a huge storm moving in, so the colors were awesome!

April and John- the Engagement Party

I had the pleasure of shooting April and John's engagement party on Saturday night. They had the wonderful clubhouse floor of the Avenues in Downtown Charlotte as their backdrop. The happy couple was wonderful to photograph with all of their friends. The soon to be married couple stepped out on the patio for some pictures with the awesome sunset we were blessed with. Here is one of my favorites so far. The beautiful sunset and some of the Charlotte skyline!
