pixels vendor spotlight: Bridal Traditions Wedding and Prom Attire
Somehow, after all of these years and too many collaborations to count, we’ve never blogged about Bridal Traditions as a beloved and favorite vendor and partner of ours. Kelly Shumate, the owner of BT, is a dear friend and not only have we worked with her, but for her, creating her custom logo and branding.
We also took her wedding renewal portraits in one of the more unique and beautiful sessions we’ve had with a bride and groom. Honestly, that’s the word for Kelly and the options and perspective she provides to her customers at Bridal Traditions and beYOUtiful Proms – unique. Kelly built her business from the ground up starting with a vision but only working at it part-time. She found gowns for weddings, provided dresses and accessories for proms, and later participated in prom campaigns like All About Prom where she could supply the right attire to each lady. By 2008, with no debt (NO. DEBT.) and a storefront, Kelly left her other job and became fulltime owner, operator and visionary for BT.
Kelly is fun to collaborate with because she brings so many creative and clever options to the table when we’re the photographers for a particular promotion or event. You can have the word “Traditions” in your business name and still be modern, fun and completely distinct. 
Every bride, every prom attendee wants to be and look remarkable. You like Scarlett O’Hara? Kelly and her team have got ya. Love The Great Gatsby? Done. Bohemian Chic? She can make you into that perfect gypsy. We look forward to many more years of working with Kelly and her amazing retail operations at Bridal Traditions and beYOUtiful Prom Attire.
We love family portraits whether they are set in the studio, the great outdoors, a specific location like the mountains or high country, or on our property in our outdoor portrait garden. Pixels on Paper photographs babies and kids, engagements and weddings, brides and special events and portraits of all kinds in our Wilkesboro, NC studio. We would be honored to meet with you, learn about you and your family and be a part of taking special portraits that will become, we hope, family heirlooms.
all about prom 2013 fashion photo shoot
We had the opportunity again this year to participate with six other special event vendors in Wilkesboro and be the sole provider of photography for the 2nd annual All About Prom event. For two weeks in December representatives from each of five Wilkes County high schools competed on Facebook to be selected as the Prom Model to represent their school. Winners were given a full day of glamour, pampering and the high fashion model experience in exchange for representing all that the event sponsors have to offer in the latest prom fashions and services.
Each girl was fitted with two complete glamorous wardrobes by Bridal Traditions Wedding and Prom attire that included dress, shoes, and jewelry accessories. Intricate matching nail design using everything from crystals to glitter were created by Valery Guevara of Blossom Salon & Butterfly Boutique. Dominique Nunn also of Blossom Salon transformed each girl with glamour makeup, sometimes incorporating feathers and sequins, that was uniquely created to coordinate with the formal dresses they would be wearing. Andrea Hunt of Cut Ups Salon styled each model’s hair using fashion forward techniques that were ahead of the trends. The finishing touch added to each model as she entered our studio portrait sets were unique floral accessories designed by Denise Brooks of Innovative Occasions. Denise took the old tradition of corsage and boutonnieres to a whole new level. What’s a fashion photo shoot without a professional videographer on set? Shaun Cardwell of Divine Treasures Videography captured moving images and created a stunning short film of the day.
Three completely custom photo backdrops were designed at the Pixels On Paper portrait studio. Ryan and Misty both took turns all day photographing each model and making each one truly experience the Pixels On Paper difference both on set and later when seeing their final photos. Pixels offers unique and creative portrait photography. Forget about those horribly traditional photos made during prom where they make you say cheese and place you in a stiff traditional pose. Pixels will make sure you have a blast getting great photos that make you feel and look like a Rock Star or High Fashion Model.
