Weddings, Weddings & More

People like Ryan and myself who are in the wedding industry, feel spring and summer rushing our way like a runaway train. It’s always fun, but it’s a busy time of year. The first day of spring was just marked off the calendar and we’re gearing up for Merlefest, prom, graduation and of course weddings of all sorts. For the next month or so, we’ll be focusing on all the aspects of the wedding season and celebrating one of life’s biggest celebrations. Today, I want to share more from our 14 years in the business of photographing weddings!





Whether we’re capturing the couple alone or surrounded by their crew of family and friends, the setting or the details, the rush and hubbub of a wedding is exhilarating.



Stay tuned, wedding fans, because there is much more to come on the wedding front.

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 weddings, brides, 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.

Spring Engagement Portraits

I’m on a spring kick here at Pixels HQ and I thought I would share some of my favorite outdoor portraits sessions of brides and grooms-to-be. Spring is nearly here and summer is on its heels. That spells: Engagement!









I say this pretty regularly, but WNC is one of the most beautiful spots in the world. Add springtime and it’s explosively beautiful. If you’re engaged and ready to capture your first portraits as an official couple, contact us and we’ll start choosing the best spots and making plans.

Spring Portraits – Milestones
I recently went on about spring portrait sessions and how many we are asked to schedule as the temperatures rise. This is a favorite season of ours. Today, I want to share the fun of photographing milestones that happened to have occurred around spring for some of our clients: most particularly children’s 6-month or first year portraits and spring weddings.

The first day of spring is March 20th, and we’re ready. If you have a milestone coming up – of any sort – and want to capture it this season, contact us!

All Hail Spring
All hail Spring!
Believe me I know that sounds sarcastic – and it might be just a little. We set our clocks forward over the weekend, Mardi Gras and Ash Wednesday were just celebrated and very recently “the Spring temps” were as low as 16 degrees for a string of nights. I’m ready for spring. How about you guys?
For Ryan and me, spring means being outside for all kinds of outdoor portrait sessions. It’s an all-inclusive season, if you know what I mean. There is just one reason to have portraits taken this season, there are dozens. Here are just a sampling:
Outdoor “just because”




Bridal portraits al fresco




Spring just draws us out when it arrives and we have so many beautiful places to shoot images of children, families, engaged couples, brides and prom-goers.
Prom




Engagement



Families




Open your windows, sweep off the deck (YES, you may need to be wearing a windbreaker…. just do it!), prepare to store the boots and pull out flip flops (or my favorite Chacos), shelve the flannel sheets for soft cotton, and get ready for spring. And while you’re doing that, consider who in your life would love an outdoor portrait of you? Who would you love to have a spring or summer photo session with and give them a call. What event is coming up that could be made better with a portrait?
A couple of hints:
– Easter (April 21)
– Proms
– Senior Year/Graduation – elementary, high school, college – (May)
– Mother’s Day (May 12)
– Father’s Day (June 16)
– Family reunions
These types of portraits never disappoint.
I’ll save the milestones of baby firsts and wedding outdoors for next time!
