Just one and a note
Posted on July 21, 2009
For those of you still looking for a location to get married check out The Yellow House in Waynesville. I was there for a wedding on Saturday and what a beautiful location! I wanted to share just one for now.
Also, someone asked me how to get my blog posts delivered directly to her inbox and it is so simple! Just scroll to the bottom of this page and you will see an orange box that says “enter email to subscribe”. That will deliver it directly to you! That way you are one of the first to know about specials from the studio! And I keep hearing about people going on my blog and seeing little Olivia grow or the cute little boy or the beautiful wedding…etc….etc……but hey why not give me a comment?! Sometimes I feel like I am talking to myself! Just click on the “leave a comment” button at the bottom of this post and let me know what your thinkin’!

Sneak Peak :: Laura and Justin
Posted on May 28, 2009
Laura and Justin are newleyweds! They had a beautiful wedding. The reception was held at Rock Barn Golf and Spa and on the way there we decided to take some shots in their front lawn, which is always beautiful. Here’s just one….

Marie and Kyle

Saturday was my first wedding as a mommy and it felt good to get back to work!
Marie has been planning this wedding for a long time and I was excited to see all of the effort pay off…I knew there would not be a detail looked over! There are many images to share, but for now I leave you with the bride and groom…married after a year romance!
Congratulations you two!

Biltmore by Erica
Posted on April 27, 2009
Thanks to a visit by the in-laws I have a few minutes to blog so I thought I would take advantage of it!
It is isn’t that often that Erica and I get to tag-team a wedding together, but I really enjoy it when we do! These images are from Brian and Laura’s wedding the beginning of March. For a March wedding in Asheville they were very lucky with beautiful weather. We were actually very hot! I am so happy for the two of them…it was such a sweet day and I know that there will be many to come in their marriage!
I thought that I would only share images that Erica took as I do not showcase her work enough!
The handsome groom….
(doesn’t he kind of look like Hugh Grant!?)

Shoes…LOVE ‘EM!

The couple…they decided to meet before the wedding so we walked the Estate and got some really great images!

Children of Zion
Posted on February 25, 2009
Most of you remember my first bride and groom of 2009, Katie and Patrick. They have such an interesting story about how they met while volunteering for an orphanage in Namibia. I just love to hear of stories of people meeting while doing God’s work and falling in love and getting married. So for those of you looking for that perfect someone please volunteer at The Children of Zion Village. Okay, I am kidding! But seriously some of you may be trying to figure out what to do this summer and what better vacation than to see an incredibly exotic country and help those in need at the same time?!
Here’s another shot of the newlyweds:

Just KISS!
Posted on February 13, 2009
So this weekend is Valentine’s Day and I am reminding all of you love birds to KISS your sweetie this weekend!
Just for fun I found a few kissing pictures from the past year.
Happy Valentine’s Day!







Katie + Patrick
Posted on January 22, 2009
I started the year off with a wonderful couple, Katie and Patrick. I didn’t get a chance to get to know them as well as I would have liked because I only met them a couple of weeks before the wedding! But the more I heard and learned during the day only made me want to know more. They met in Africa at an orphanage that they were both volunteering with and it didn’t take long to know that they have a very generous and loving spirit. I wish the two of you all the best as you begin your new life together!
Here are just a few images from the day:

Such a photogenic couple….I could have done this for hours!

Kira + Peter
Posted on September 11, 2008
Luckily I was in Hilton Head the week before the hurricane was supposed to hit! Martin and I drove down for Kira and Peter’s wedding over Labor Day weekend. We stayed in Beaufort, which is a great little town to visit if you want to get away for the weekend.
Kira and Peter had such a beautiful wedding at Indigo Run Golf Course at Hilton Head Island. Guests drove from all over the country to be a part of their celebration. It was a special day and was just perfect.
Here are a few of the pictures:
The Bride and her stunning girls!

The groom and his men….

Ceremony shots and details…

Finally together….

And I have to say I was quite impressed with the dancing!

Susan + Erik
Posted on August 18, 2008
This summer my associate, Erica, has been busy helping me in the office and shooting weddings of her own. She has just done a phenomenal job with her shooting and I couldn’t be happier! I wanted to share some of the work she has done this summer.
Susan and Erik were married in Cornelius and Susan just thought of so many cute details! Here are a few of the pictures:

And this wedding was before the “Sex and the City” movie, and when I saw her blue shoes for the “something blue” I thought she was so clever……apparently Carrie Bradshaw thought so too!

The two together……

And off they go….on a motorcycle no less! Love it!
