Shanna & Ethan were high school sweethearts. They rarely spent a day since they began dating or even before, not speaking to each other. Even when getting a higher education and a great distance was between them, they still managed to maintain their relationship and love for one another. Only recently when Ethan was dispatched to go fight forest fires in Alaska did these two miss a day of talking to each other. It’s a sweet love story that at one point in time was the norm, but in this now fast-paced life, when families rarely grow up in the same place and people loose touch with their childhood friends it rarely occurs. It’s just another reason why we love our new found small-town living, getting to meet and get to know couples like Shanna & Ethan.
Acknowledging all of their family, friends and heritage, the wedding and reception took place in the small NC Mountain community of Ferguson, near Boone NC, where they both grew up. Thanks to her creative talents and experience as a teacher, Shanna brought her vision of a rustic country wedding to life with ideas she found and created from Pinterest. Details and sentimental touches were everywhere. With the help of family and friends, a small country church and a historic one-room school house were transformed.
It was a blessing to see young and old fill the pews of the church. All the years of waiting for this moment and all the hours of work spent in preparation no longer mattered as soon as the church doors opened, Shanna entered, and Ethan saw his bride. As a symbol of their unity during the wedding ceremony Shanna and Ethan planted a tree together using soil from each of the homes where they were raised. The tree has since been planted at the home that they now call their own.
We are grateful to have been Shanna and Ethan’s chosen wedding photographers and we wish them a life full of romance as their love story continues.

Kathren & Nathan wanted and engagement session close to home in North Wilkesboro near the NC mountains and Boone NC. The farm where Kathren’s mother grew up made the perfect backdrop. We luckily had an evening with no rain and a gorgeous sunset which we took full advantage of.
Their engagement photography is best described as candid and sweet. Even their dogs got in on the action! Most couples want candid engagement and wedding photos but many have a hard time knowing how to be candid in front of a photographer with the camera aimed at them. That was definitely not the case with these two, they were all about each other! We are certainly looking forward to photographing their wedding day in May of 2014!

Sarah and Jeremy were easy to love, especially when it came to their NC mountain engagement session. Their engagement photos are best described as sweet, casual, country. We spent out time together wondering from place to place around our outdoor shooting space at our Pixels On Paper photography studio in Wilkesboro NC. We later used many of their photos to create a custom guest book that they would use at the Leatherwood Mountains wedding. Keep an eye for those photos which are yet to come!

Denny & Kaitlyn live in Charlotte, NC but rather than have a Charlotte wedding they opted for a NC Mountain destination wedding in Hendersonville, NC. As husband and wife wedding photographers that love to travel anywhere anytime, a Hendersonville wedding was a wonderful opportunity for us to photograph in a new scenic backdrop.
The wedding venue was Raymond’s Garden Center. Raymond’s also grew and designed all the wedding flower arrangements and wedding bouquets. The ceremony was in the middle of the nursery surrounded by all the flowers and trees you can imagine. A tent was on the property for the wedding reception. Although the skies were gray and overcast the weather was perfect for wedding photography and all the colors in the gardens and coral worn by the wedding party was vibrant.
Kaitlyn and Denny shared a “first look” with with each other before the ceremony. This moment was a time to ease nerves and anxiety. It also allowed the bride and groom to have a time to themselves to relish in the moment before being surrounded by people and caught up in the rush of the rest of their wedding day. The grin on Denny’s face when he saw his bride is a memory we’ll never forget and with us photographing that moment from a distance never will they.
As the wedding ceremony began the rain also started to fall. Everyone took it in stride. Kaitlyn at one point during the ceremony looked up to the sky and smiled as if nothing was going to dampen her day. Even rain can’t take away from the beauty of NC Mountain weddings. They finalized their vows and Denny sealed it with a very romantic dip and kiss as husband and wife.
The down-pouring rain encouraged us to get creative with post ceremony wedding photos. We found a hidden treasure inside one of Raymond’s greenhouses.
After photos everyone was ready to celebrate under the shelter of the tent. And party they did. The dance floor stayed hopping all night thanks to Gordon Hensley of Digital DJs, one of our favorite wedding vendors to work with who is also located in the NC High Country.
It was such an honor to be a part of this wedding and we are grateful to Denny and Kaitlyn for choosing Pixels On Paper as their wedding photographer and allowing us to capture their photography and memories from their beautiful NC mountain destination wedding.

Most already know that NC Mountain weddings are breathtaking. We took that inspiration to a new level, literally on top of a mountain in the NC High Country for Kristie’s bridal photography session. Her passion to have a vintage inspired wedding combined with her Mom’s Antique store was the beginning of a picture perfect concept. We’re not generally a fan of overly styled photo shoots but when all the objects in the shoot have a meaning behind them or belong to a family member, we’re all for using them in creative photography. NC Mountain weddings never looked so beautiful! Just wait until you see the wedding pictures.
Meanwhile let this bridal photography take your breath away.
