2015 Pixels highlight reel ~ part deux – WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY!

Pixels on Paper wedding portraits outdoors - 2015 highlights photo

Starry, starry night in the mountains

As a followup to our engagement highlight reel for 2015, you knew we had to do a wedding version; I mean, c’mon. It’s fun for us to remember and reminisce about the couples and their families, but also about the locations, the weather, the unexpected moments that entered our lenses and the magic that happens when a planned photo has an element of surprise. Whether these couples were basking in “end of the night starlight” or nestled on a rainy church lawn, in a field with horses or smooching under a glass roof, they were in their own perfect moment. Here are just a few of our favorite shots from the weddings Pixels had the privilege to photograph.
Above are Micala and Tyler at their reception. See more of their wedding in Todd, NC and reception in Laurel Springs.
Below are Rebekah and Josh. Their wedding is a guide for any couple who have a theme in mind. They didn’t miss a single detail.

Wedding with Scottish details and Scottish weather

This outdoor wedding provided us with so many opportunities to experiment (including the shot below) and so many moments of tenderness with the couple and family.

Caught in God’s perfect light…

This shot of Meghann is not from her wedding, but from her bridal session, but we had to include it. Taken near her family’s farm in Warrensville, NC, she took our breath away in every shot.

Bride in a perfect mountain landscape

A Charlotte City Center wedding is an event unto itself, but these two only saw each other that day. Their wedding under a glass ceiling was gorgeous and special. We love this shot.

Whitney and Preston’s wedding was deeply personal and rife with details about them.

The best portraits aren’t always of the bride and groom. This one of Sarah and her decorated military dad was just too perfect. And so was her wedding to Danny. Not one shot of Sarah and Danny disappoints.

Father and bride….

Katie and Josh’s wedding managed to be Elegant Celebration and Crazy Party in one evening. Autumnal details for the groomsmen’s ties and bridesmaids’ bouquets at the wedding gave way to glowing necklaces and bracelets for the reception.

The Big Send Off in Blowing Rock, NC

A fan favorite as weddings and wedding stories go – Elisabeth and Isaac. These two decided to buy a house and up-end the whole wedding timeline. It didn’t stop them from having a brilliantly simple and gorgeous Tanglewood Park wedding, though.

“We did it!”

Amber and Andy’s wedding was special for so many reasons, not the least of which was that they were starting a new family with Andy’s young daughter and cementing a new life anchored in love, respect and joy. This shot captured part of that vibe.

A New Family Story Begins

So many of our favorite shots of brides and grooms are taken outside where nature can play a role. This one of Kendall and Nathan though was just perfect. See some of them outside as well at their lovely wedding in Wilkesboro, NC.

A private moment in the pews

We are booking weddings for 2016 and 2017 and would love to help capture the moments that solidify memories – both planned and unexpected. Call us at 336.990.0080 or email us mail@pixelsonpaper.net and let’s get started!

blowing rock outdoor wedding includes a mustang, a singing pastor and NO RAIN!

Rain is the bane of anyone planning, attending, photographing or getting married at an outdoor venue. But the sun shined for the Clampett’s wedding day. After 11 years of commitment and love (and frankly being too busy), these two turned to each other said, it’s time! So we were called in and then…… rain. Several portrait sessions with the bride were rescheduled due to rain and the engagement portraits ended up being shot after the bridal portraits, but we prayed that Sarah and Danny would have a rain free wedding day and, sure enough, they sealed the deal at Chetola Resort in Blowing Rock NC on May 31st in perfect weather.

Well it has been updated in the form of the sand box ceremony. The bride adds her sand, the husband his and it’s grounded with a third portion of sand that signifies the presence and their trust in God. This was Sarah and Danny’s choice and it was truly beautiful. The officiant is not only a friend of theirs and a pastor, but he also sang and read a poem that he wrote.

All were just perfect and after being together for 11 years and not worried about planning so much, these two weathered the storms (yuk, yuk) and had a gorgeous wedding and reception.Clampett Wedding, Sarah Crisp, Danny Clampett, Wedding, ChetolaClampett Wedding, Sarah Crisp, Danny Clampett, Wedding, ChetolaClampett Wedding, Sarah Crisp, Danny Clampett, Wedding, Chetolablowing rock nc photographers chetola resort wedding photography photosblowing rock nc photographers chetola resort wedding photography photosblowing rock nc photographers chetola resort wedding photography photosblowing rock nc photographers chetola resort wedding photography photosDanny collects Mustangs and told us that choosing which one to bring to the wedding was harder than choosing his wedding wardrobe. He chose the right vest (we’re pretty sure Sarah played a hand), the right get-away car and the right girl.

Let the rain kiss you
Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops
Let the rain sing you a lullaby
The rain makes still pools on the sidewalk
The rain makes running pools in the gutter
The rain plays a little sleep song on our roof at night
And I love the rain.
– Langston Hughes

Like with all the other sessions we had with them, Sarah of course worried about rain on the wedding day, but it held out until just after the guests left the reception.
And then …. wait for it ……..it started to pour! <insert big smile here>
