laura + chumah | wedding pictures | creative photography by pixels on paper
Words can’t even begin to express how awesome it was to photograph Laura and Chumah. From the moment they won our Charlotte Future Trophy Bride contest with 467 facebook votes we knew there was a lot of fun in store. Laura is quiet and shy with stunning discreet beauty and is passionate about art. In front of the camera she is high fashion, confident, and a risk taker. Chumah, a native of Kenya, is outgoing, always in motion, a scholar soccer athlete, and always the jokster. In front of the camera he is GQ, serious and intense. The combination of these two and their love for each other was our ultimate dream. They delivered killer engagement pictures which you can see here, and their wedding pictures were even more amazing.
We understand that these photos may not be everyone’s preference for wedding photos but it was exactly what Laura and Chumah wanted. They did not want traditional wedding photos. They wanted creative photography, high fashion portrait photos, and wedding images that captured the moments. It’s our job as wedding photographers to make sure that we are a good match for our clients, then to make sure we understand and can deliver and exceed their expectations. And all the while we get to have a blast doing what we love.
Enjoy this little sample of their wedding photo gallery!

bailey + phillip = blue ridge parkway | high country nc | engagement photos
Bailey and Phillip live in the Raleigh Durham area, are getting married in Charlotte, but wanted engagement photos in a much more tranquil location in the Blue Ridge mountains of NC. Spending time with these two in a beautiful outdoor setting and playing with their fur baby, a gorgeous German Shepherd named Bongo, made it easy to see why they are so in love. No matter how uncomfortable a couple is in front of our camera, being totally in to each other puts everyone at ease. The way Bailey beams with happiness and is filled with laughter by Phillip’s simple touch is obvious in the candid photos. And Phillip’s ADD tendencies were hilarious and reminded me of Ryan, especially when there is a dog to pester and play with.
Engagement photos are a great way to get to know our couples making it more fun and easy going on the wedding day. What I know for sure is that I can totally see myself hanging out with these two and Bongo anytime!

ashleigh + philip = gorgeous autumn engagement photos in the country
Ashleigh and Philip wanted to take advantage of what was remaining of the gorgeous fall foliage in the Wilkes County mountains for their engagement photos while a bit of the color still remained. We found a perfect hidden gem of a spot that suited them just perfectly. Surrounded by trees wrapped in vibrant colors, running water, wooden bridges and golden hay bails, these two love birds were the perfect feature in an environment that they seemed more than comfortable to be a part of.
We are looking forward to photographing their outdoor wedding in Wilkes next May. In the meantime show us and them some love on the blog. Our blog loves comments!

amber + wesley {married} at camp sky ranch | outdoor country wedding
After a couple years of planning all of Amber and Wesley’s time and energy came together on one spectacular fall wedding day in the Blue Ridge Mountains at Camp Sky Ranch. The venue itself provided an amazing backdrop and is one of Blowing Rock’s hidden jewels. If you haven’t heard about it you want to read the history here and learn what Jack and his wife Lori have brought to life.
Like many of the weddings we photograph this event was a family affair. Everyone worked together for days to decorate, coordinate, and celebrate the union. Family members baked and decorated the cake and cooked all the homemade southern foods for the reception. Bouquets, floral arrangements and candle decorations inspired by the Autumn surroundings were designed by Denise Brooks of Innovative Occasions.
Let us know what you think of Amber and Wesley’s outdoor wedding pictures. Our blog loves comments!
We are so thankful to have been a part of Amber and Wesley’s special day. They put their trust in our creative photography to capture their day. We could not be any happier with what we were able to capture. Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Douglas!
In case you missed them, be sure to take a look at Amber’s gorgeous bridal photos!

kristin + jason {married} | asbury park grove | pixels on paper
Kristin and Jason’s October wedding was a beautiful nod to her love of all things vintage. There were loads of hydrangeas, lace, studded jewelry, pearls, and diamond details setting the tone. The color pallet of eggplant and pewter looked stunning among the natural setting at Asbury Park Grove. It was also a fun time for us to meet Jason’s family once again after previously photographing his sister Amanda’s wedding and to make new friends with Kristin’s family.
We wish Kristin and Jason all the very best and hope you enjoy this sampling of wedding photos that we have to share.
