50th wedding anniversary photography | family portraits | outdoor family photos
Its encouraging to know that in a time where the statistics on marriages seems to be so negative, that there can be examples of how it really can work and be a life long journey. We were blessed this summer to not only capture one 50th wedding anniversary, but to be able to photograph two!
It has always been fun to see how much love a newlywed couple can have for each other on the day of the wedding, but when you get to see that same emotion 50 years later, it touches your heart in a whole new way.
Brenda and Jerry Waddell were the first of our silver anniversary family portraits this summer in Wilkesboro, NC. As a gift to them their family organized and paid for family portraits. They not only wanted portraits with each other, but also took the opportunity to have outdoor family portraits with their children, grand-children, and the latest addition to the growing family, their great-grand daughter. It is simply amazing to see what hard work (because marriage takes lots of hard work), praying for each other and a great sense of love at all times will get you. This family has been such a blessing to us in more than one way and we are honored to be a part of their lives.
Our second anniversary outdoor family photos was for Wilhelmina and Harold Wood who celebrated 50 years of marriage in June. We were delighted to go to their historic farm house in the NC Mountains and spend time with them while they told stories of how they made their marriage work. The house made for a wonderful significant backdrop and provided the opportunity for them to relive fond memories with us of raising their daughters, working on the farm, and taking care of each other. Misty and the Wood’s youngest daughter Melinda were friends all through elementary and high school so this couple were especially precious.
The opportunity to celebrate marriage in all that we do certainly does not stop after the wedding day when the wedding photography is over. As photographers we love being a fixture in the lives of all of our clients and are truly honored when we can be the photographer that captures memories years after they say I do. We look forward to the day when we can photograph life’s moments both big and small for all of them, including celebrating momentous anniversaries.

sarah & jeremy | leatherwood mountains weddings | pixels on paper | boone wedding photographers
Weddings in the NC mountains are always a favorite for us, especially when the ceremony is held outdoor at Leatherwood Mountains located in Ferguson NC near Boone in the NC High Country. The backdrops that the mountains offer are second to none with endless possibilities around Leatherwood resort.
Long before Sarah and Jeremy’s wedding day, we had the opportunity to photograph Sarah’s bridal photography. We have been wanting to do a “peach blossom shoot” for a long time, and when the timing was right, we were lucky enough for great weather. We photographed among the peach and apple blossoms in orchards in Brushy Mountain, NC. Sarah’s dance background allowed us to push her posing a little farther than we normally get to do, and the results were simply stunning! We got creative by incorporating Sarah’s life as a dancer and love for horses as you can see in her bride photos shown below.
Sarah and Jeremy chose the perfect wedding day. With a nice breeze blowing through the NC Mountains and fair temperatures, they said their “I do’s” at the main Leatherwood cabin in front of their families and closest friends. When you are surrounded by horse stables and have a love for horses, what better way to arrive at the ceremony site than in a horse-drawn carriage. Sarah stepped out of the carriage and walked to a waiting Jeremy at the end of the aisle where they exchanged vows that they wrote for each other. After they lit the unity candle and exchanged rings, they were announced as husband and wife and had their first kiss as a married couple.
Following the post ceremony photos with Sarah and Jeremy off in the meadow and in the stables, all of the guests were treated to a wonderful reception in the covered riding ring surrounded by details of hand made decor and plenty of personal touches. A BBQ dinner was catered by Tipton’s of Wilkesboro NC while Ball and Ball DJ entertained the guests.
After a long afternoon of celebration, it was finally time to let the newlyweds head off to their honeymoon, but not before one last dance. While guests headed out of the riding ring to line up for the bubble send-off, Sarah and Jeremy got the chance to have the place to themselves for one final wedding dance.
Be sure to check out Sarah and Jeremy’s engagement portraits here if you have not seen them.
We are grateful to have been Sarah & Jeremy’s chosen wedding photographers and we wish them a life full of romance.

shanna & ethan’s rustic wedding photography | pixels on paper nc mountain wedding photographers
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.
