college football ~ waterfalls ~ baby girl and a bright future ahead

There is a moment in the life of every bride-to-be when she worries about how she’ll look in her gown posing 5 feet from a waterfall. If we had a nickel…… So we’re going to start at this point in the Minick story – the moment when Rachel navigated her way through hill and dale for bridal pictures, looking radiant in her wedding gown and Keen’s. You heard us. You gotta do what you gotta do.

She told us, it was the funniest part of all the shoots we’ve done with Pixels. “Hiking around the location where my bridal portraits were taken was a blast. Wearing Keen’s with my wedding dress and getting strange looks from people fishing at the waterfall was the best!”

For us, this is not just a business of photography. We’re documenting, watching history unfold, and creating heirlooms that will link generations. The Minick’s, like many of our clients, have become our friends. We “do life” together when there are no cameras around. We feel very strongly that God has given us this gift so that we can become another supportive resource, cheerleaders and advocates for the married couples we’ve met through Pixels. We love seeing them create families and celebrate milestones and feel honored to be a part of the journey. Creating relationships has become as important to us as the photography work.

So two became three with the arrival of Amelia. We’ve enjoyed capturing her with her parental units in a variety of settings. Always fun!

But we also absolutely embrace those moments when we can be creative in mother nature, and are experienced outdoor photographers in NC. We’ve been able to do both with the Minicks.

Rachel: “I want to remember the early days of our marriage and family and look back at the stages of Amelia’s growth. I know that I will delight in these portraits for years to come and love creating future family heirlooms with Misty and Ryan.” WE look forward to it, too. We love you guys.

 

 

mickey’s charlotte bridal portraits | pixels on paper | charlotte nc wedding photographers

We had the complete pleasure of photographing Mickey’s bridal portraits at a private home just outside of Charlotte NC alongside our friend Greg Forwerck and videographer Bryon Bench.  Mickey is a very talented artist that is gorgeous inside and out. Her dress was to die for and her bohemian style was easy to photograph. You’ll be seeing a lot more pics both here on our blog when we post her and Ben’s Asheville NC wedding, in our current ad campaign, and in the current Jan/March 2014 issue of Carolina Bride Magazine which features their Claxton Farm wedding day. Keep a look out!

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.

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.

sprinting through spring 2013 photos | pixels on paper wedding photography and portrait photography

We are so far behind on blogging already this year. Honestly it’s because blogging is very low on our priority list. The 2013 Spring photography season is here and we are in full swing at a fast passed sprint. Because of that, rather than writing blogs, it’s more important to us to provide excellent customer service to our clients and make sure their photos are being edited, PreView Sessions are being had, wall art and albums are being created and delivered in a fast turnaround time. All those reasons aside, we know our followers still want to see more large images and read about all the wedding photos we’ve been taking and the portrait photography we’ve been creating. Just to give you a little taste of what we’ve been up to, here are some peeks at what you will hopefully soon be seeing in full posts on the blog.

We weren’t available to photograph Alisha’s wedding photos but that didn’t stop her from using Pixels On Paper to photograph her Bridal Portraits which we uniquely styled with some of our collection of antiques and photographed right outside our Wilkesboro, NC portrait studio.

Rose Glen Village Senior Living needed commercial photography for a new website that is being designed by a Greensboro based advertising agency. Pixels On Paper collaborated with both Rose Glen and the Ad agency. We had a really fun day hanging out with many of Rose Glen’s residents and capturing lifestyle photography, everyday living in their homes and social environment.

Sarah and Jeremy will be getting married on June 1st. But before that we wanted to get to know them even better by photographing their engagement photos. This entire session was photographed right outside our portrait studio in the NC Mountains.

We captured some gorgeous Charlotte wedding photos for Ashley and Phil who had their wedding in Uptown Charlotte on the Holiday Inn Center City Rooftop Rotunda.

Kristie and Trey will be getting married in July. Their engagement photos gave us an opportunity to see how comfortable they were in front of our camera and get them use to being photographed before the big day. This is another portrait session outside our studio. It’s great to be a photographer in the NC Mountains!

This Asheville NC wedding photography is from Kaitlyn and Denny’s amazing and rainy wedding day at family-owned Raymonds Garden Center. The garden center provided a beautiful backdrop for wedding photography with all the flowers we could possibly imagine. A lot of rain didn’t keep us from getting lots of wedding photos.

Pixels On Paper were the Charlotte wedding photographers for Rich and Amanda in 2009. Now they are expecting their first child and we are blessed to be providing them with Maternity photography and newborn photography as their family grows. They made the trip from Ft. Mill, SC to Wilkesboro, NC to take advantage of the settings at our portrait studio.

This Bridal portrait photo is still a secret since the Bride’s wedding day has not yet arrived. It’s so much fun to integrate into Bride photos something as special to her as the years of dance that have been a part of her life. It also gives us a great opportunity for creative photography.

Bridal Traditions Wedding and Prom attire needed commercial photography created for their new exclusive line of designer wedding gowns. It was a great experience photographing these beautiful gowns inside our portrait studio. The dresses all seemed like they were in the perfect setting in our historic property.
