april anniversaries | celebrate love & spring
Caroline & Andy – 4 years April 6th
“It is spring again. The earth is like a child that knows poems by heart.” – Rainer Maria Rilke
And amen to that. Spring is for poetry and love and poems about love. Musicals with singing birds and otherwise sane people bursting into song, etc, etc. The key is not to waste it. Sometimes winter feels like months of interminable chill and spring more like a single afternoon.
These couples are celebrating April anniversaries and we had the pleasure of being the documenters of their favorite spring day.

Kristen & Dustin – 6 years April 16th

Rachel & Brandon – 10 years April 21
Lisa & Charlie – 8 years April 25
Sabrina & Brian – 9 years April 26th

Ernest Hemingway – not known for his poetry, or his gravitas for that matter – wrote: “When spring came, even the false spring, there were no problems except where to be happiest. The only thing that could spoil a day was people…” LOL!! These sweethearts didn’t have that problem, clearly.
CHEERS to you all! Ryan and I raise our glasses on your behalf and to decades more springs together.
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.

Weddings in the NC mountains are some of our very favorite to photograph. The surroundings are always changing, there is beautiful scenery at every turn and there are so many different venues to choose from for locals or those choosing the mountains for a destination wedding location. Not to mention that we have four very distinct seasons which locals tend to take for granted.
Our Bride, Lauren, is a Charlotte, NC native and her Groom, Patrick, was once also, but now active duty means home is wherever work is. They opted for a destination wedding in the heart of the NC High Country in West Jefferson at a brand new outdoor venue, The Big Red Barn. From the day we photographed outdoor engagement photos for this couple, we knew being involved with their wedding day was going to be incredible. In case you missed their engagement portraits, click here.
Their wedding day was filled with love, helping hands and details from every aspect of their lives. It was a kid-friendlly event since Lauren and Patrick are now a blended family unit. Their daughters each played an active role in the ceremony. Each walking down the aisle with their parent and being a part of the couple’s vows, which were precious moments to witness and photograph. We honor and treasure moments like these. We don’t take our roles as wedding photographers lightly. It’s one day that can’t be reenacted, often filled with fleeting candid moments, and precious opportunities to photograph family members from near and far that are rarely all together for moments like these. We work hard to capture all of the images and take our roles very seriously so that each couple will have treasures to hold on to and heirlooms to pass along.
We hope you can see and feel the love in these photographs. Thank you Lauren and Patrick for trusting Pixels On Paper Photography to tell the story of your wedding day.

sierra & casey |outdoor mountain wedding purlear nc | rendezvous mountain state park | pixels on paper wedding photographers
Life doesn’t always goes as planned. Even the most well-layed plans have a way of going astray. That seems to especially be the case when it comes to weddings. Occasionally we have the opportunity to be a part of a wedding that has not been in the works for years, but only a few months or weeks. There are no elaborate plans, timelines, checklists, or 100s involved. There are only two people deeply in love and family or friends there to support that the only thing which matters is the commitment they are making to God and to each other. This was the case with Sierra and Casey’s wedding. Simple, rustic, country are all words that would describe the day as well as the Bride and Groom.
Simple has a way of being incredibly personal, romantic and beautiful. Being able to witness and photograph moments like these are a blessing. A wedding such as this is a day that is not tainted by countless Pinterest boards and must-have reenactments but rather opportunities for us to create photographs that are completely unique and personalized. The idyllic forrest, out-of-the-way setting in the NC Mountains at Rendezvous Mountain State Park in Purlear perfectly lent itself to this couple and their personality.
Casey & Sierra, thank you for trusting us to photograph the memories of your wedding day and tell your story through photos. We wish you a life together full of countless blessings. For the rest of you, enjoy a little peek into their wedding day.
We were even given the time and opportunity to have fun at the local Fire Department, Broadway in North Wilkesboro NC, where Casey is a volunteer fireman where we created some uniquely personal creative photos.
Special thanks to the vendors we worked along side: Ceremony Florist: Eden House Floral, Bride’s Attire: Bridal Traditions Wedding & Prom Attire, Ceremony & Reception Venue: Rendezvous Mountain State Park.

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.

While you’ve been waiting for the next big blog post we’ve been moving straight from the Summer wedding season into the rush of Fall wedding season. And since honestly it’s more important to get our beautiful Bride & Groom’s wedding photos edited than it is to keep up with blogs, we thought we’d tempt you with some little glimpses into the weddings that we’ve been photographing. Don’t worry we’ll be filling you in on all the lovely details for each of these weddings as soon as we get a breather and can reflect back. Stay tuned!
