We were blessed beyond measure to photograph Maggie & Seager’s Charlotte wedding. Not just because it’s always a blessing to be the chosen wedding photographer but because Maggie is the 3rd McConnell sibling who’s wedding we have photographed. The first wedding was in 2006 when Maggie was still a teenager! We’ve shared an incredible closeness with this family and her groom Saeger is a perfect addition.

In Maggie’s own words the best thing about her wedding day: “The best thing about my wedding day was speaking my vows and hearing my best friend pledge his love forever to me! Everything went off absolutely perfect, but even if it hadn’t nothing could have made it any less special. I will never forget the sound of Saeger’s voice and his sincerity as he spoke those vows to me.  That will always be my most cherished moment.”

Although both Maggie and Saeger now live in Florida, the wedding and reception took place at Quail Hollow Country Club in Charlotte only one week after the Wells Fargo Golf Tournament. For Maggie the location was special because it was just down the street from the neighborhood where she grew up. The location gave her the opportunity to introduce those from Florida to the place that she called “home”.

What made this Charlotte wedding unique was it’s southern charm and elegance. The royal blue and yellow (Maggie’s favorite) color pallet was bright and happy. Plus she had one of the most gorgeous cakes we’ve ever seen created by Wow Factor Cakes.

Summer vacation is just about over and quickly coming to a close. Kids (and their parents) are looking forward to school. There is excitement in the air for a child returning to school, anticipating starting school, or moving up a grade. Some parents are having to come to grips with a child starting their first day at school whether it be Pre-K or Kindergarten, or an older child’s first day of their last year. It all goes so fast. We’re making capturing these moments easy and ridiculously cute! Pixels On Paper is offering Limited Edition First Day of School portrait sessions on July 26th and 27th in our Wilkesboro, NC portrait studio.

Even our pup Chelsea had to get in on the act. I’m not sure if she’s the teacher’s pet or the class clown?

ashley & phil’s charlotte nc wedding

From the moment we first met Ashley and  Phil in Charlotte, NC to discuss their wedding photography, we knew their wedding day was going to be a fun day. Not only did they pick one of our favorite venues, the Holiday Inn Center City, but they were also open to whatever creative ideas we came up with for their wedding photos.

From the moment the photos started with Ashley and her bridesmaids, through photos with Phil and his guys, the day just seemed to click. The Holiday Inn offers so many opportunities for great photos, the rooftop is one of our favorites, and was the perfect opportunity for Phil and Ashley to have a moment together, just them (and us of course…) before the day went into high gear.

The ceremony, held on the rooftop rotunda and lead by Reverend Patrick Malloy, went as smooth as you could ask for with nearly perfect weather. Following the ceremony and the family portraits at the ceremony site, we headed into the streets of uptown with the entire bridal party to photograph more wedding pictures.

On the Holiday Inn’s rooftop rotunda, the wedding ceremony site was transformed into the wedding reception site and the sounds from Split Second Sound DJ Derek pumped through the party. Introductions of the Bride and Groom lead straight into their first dance and then into cake smashing. Yes, it’s the moment all wedding guests egg-on, but only occasionally happens. In the end, even with wedding cake icing in the Bride’s eye, the party went on long into the night. Wedding guests enjoyed the opportunity to step into the photo booth from ShutterBooth Charlotte to capture their memories while creating a guestbook for Ashley and Phil. One final serenade of  “Take Me Home, Country Roads” by John Denver ended the night as wedding guests joined together on the dance floor to send-off Ashley and Phil into newlywed bliss.

Caroline & Andy’s NC Mountain Destination Wedding Photography

We are always honored when we find out that a couple contacts us because of a referral from a past wedding client. Caroline and Andy took the advice from not one, but two of our Bride and Groom couples and contacted us all the way from Boston to capture their NC Mountain destination wedding photography.

The entire day was a great blending of two different families and cultures with nods to both sprinkled throughout the wedding ceremony and in to the wedding reception.

We started the day off with a “first look” with Caroline and Andy and rolled right through the family photos and wedding party, so that after the wedding ceremony, we could get to the wedding reception and photograph a  few more wedding photos before starting the party for the rest of the evening.

The interior of Elkin Presbyterian Church is gorgeous and made for a perfect setting for the wedding. With Caroline raised in the Presbyterian church, and Andy raised in the Jewish faith, every effort was made in combining elements from both backgrounds, including closing the ceremony with the kiss, then the breaking of the glass before walking out of the church as husband and wife.

The day took a bit of a twist between their wedding photos after the ceremony and the introductions at the wedding reception. We received a phone call from Caroline’s sister and the Maid of Honor where she let us know that they were going to make a detour before the reception, to the Emergency Room. Yes, the E.R.! Earlier in the day, Caroline did as any Bride would do, and placed her engagement ring on her right hand for the wedding ceremony. But with the heat and humidity and nerves, her finger swelled to the point where the ring would not come off and began to cut off the circulation in her finger. The good news is, after a brief experience in the E.R. where the Bride and Groom were the center of attention, the ring was removed undamaged and they were off to Old Beau Golf and Country Club in Roaring Gap NC to celebrate their marriage.

And party they did. The dance floor stayed hopping all night thanks to All Around Raleigh DJ. At one point late in the evening, Andy and Caroline were each hoisted up in a chair for the traditional Jewish Hora, or Wedding Chair Dance, and danced around the room surrounded by friends and family.

It was such an honor to be a part of this wedding and we are grateful to Andy and Caroline for taking the advice of friends and choosing Pixels On Paper as their wedding photographer.
