Wilkes Wedding Expo 2020


Pixels has been photographing the Wilkes Wedding Expo for years. Owner of Bridal Traditions and Expo Host, Kelly Shumate is one of my best friends, so of course we photographed the latest one in March of 2020.

For years, the Expo has been a place for brides-to-be to find vendors and see their hypothetical dreams played out in various applications. Wedding industry experts flock to this early spring event year after year at Wilkes Community College. Pixels has exhibited annually over the years, as have pals of ours in the catering, DJ, event planning and venue realms. If you are looking for ideas, this is an Expo worth attending and if you are a vendor who wants to get in front of prospects, consider exhibiting!

2020 was Kelly Shumate’s last year hosting. She is celebrating 20 years in the Bridal Boutique & Prom business and wants to stay focused on that in the foreseeable future. But for the 2020 Expo, she took on a wonderful co-sponsor – Kelli Rodriquez of Embellished Events for You. Beginning in 2021, Kelli and Embellished will be the new hosts! Congrats and best of luck with this important annual event.

Pixels on Paper, along with other professionals from the wedding industry, will be in attendance to chat with you about your dreams for your big day. Pixels has been a vendor at this annual event for years, and we’ve discovered that it’s not just a great way for us to showcase what we do best, but we’ve met some of the best people and couples whose engagement, bridal and weddings we’ve photographed over the years. Many have become lifelong family friends.
If you haven’t made plans to attend, you can find the information HERE and we encourage you to come and get details you never expected to find and ideas you’ve never heard or thought of.

Tickets online for brides-to-be are $5 and for brides and friends of the bride at the door, they are $8. You can expect to find caterers, furniture rentals, djs, reps for various wedding venues, invitation and stationary options, crafts, décor ideas, dresses, gifts and more. Kelly Shumate, the host of this event and owner of Bridal Traditions is one of my great friends and we never miss an opportunity to collaborate and support each other. Get your tickets and we look forward to seeing you there!

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, engagements and weddingsbrides, 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.
