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.

brothers frank and nick | total guy portrait photography

For some reason we have the opportunity to photograph more girls than guys for family portraits. So when Mom, Luann said to us “I want you to take pictures of my boys” (who happen to race motocross, are super cute, and need portfolios). We said YES PLEASE!

What impressed us most, Frank and Nick came out of their house and were the first to introduce themselves and offer their hands for a shake.  How many 9-14 year olds do you know that do this with adults???  They were so polite, social, and were naturals, totally comfortable in their own skin! We could photograph these guys for hours and we did.

This is not your typical portrait of a child or high school senior pics kind of session. This is what happens during a Pixels On Paper portrait session!  As long as you keep sending us girls and GUYS to photograph we’ll keep making magic happen.

The best part was seeing these guys in their own element surrounded by their sport, their hobby, and their passion. These two are into motocross and are traveling the circuit. When on the bikes they get serious and are totally Bad A**.  Keep your eyes out in the future for them in the magazines.

Check out our website and Facebook pages for more creative photography during family portraits and senior pics.
