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.

At the moment I’m writing this tears are streaming down my face.  In the middle of editing this very wedding I completely loose all control when I get to this image. With a little bit of composure I feel that I need to share. You may be thinking what’s so special about this photo?  For me it represents incredible strength, it means dreams, hopes, and complete joy all coming true.  For those who know Amy I hope you see it too.

You see, shortly after getting engaged a year ago Amy was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. When we met her and Rex for their first consult she was trying to plan a wedding while also preparing herself for the treatments that were to begin only a week later. I barely knew her but I knew lots fighting the battle and I was scared for her and Rex. I was scared for what they might loose and for what they might not get to enjoy.  If I had known Amy then like I do now those fears may not have been so prominent.  She is the most positive and encouraging person I’ve met. She had cancer beat before it even started, at least mentally that is.

This image is the very moment during their ceremony she and Rex turned to face their guests and were pronounced husband and wife. When I first saw this image on my screen I saw both of their smiles, big and larger than life. I saw happiness bursting at the seams. And then I followed her outstretched arm and saw the tattoo on her wrist and I thought to myself VICTORY.

Amy, you have and you will overcome. You are amazing. You are beautiful. Thank you for being a part of my life.

ashley + kevin {uptown charlotte wedding pictures} | pixels on paper

Having already shot Kevin and Ashley’s engagement photos back in July, we knew that this was going to be not only a fun wedding, but one that promised to give us some great portfolio material with loads of awesome wedding pictures. And they did not disappoint! Ashley was simply stunning and Kevin brought a whole new meaning to the GQ style. You can just tell when couples are “made for each other,” and these two definitely are.

A touching ceremony on the rooftop rotunda at the Holiday Inn Center City Charlotte, in which there were few dry eyes, led into a jumping party in the ballroom. Split Second Sound provided the music, with MC/DJs Rashaad and Neil keeping the party going all night. Kevin even jumped in on the mic to sing along and entertain friends on more than one occasion!

We are so thankful to have been a part of Ashley and Kevin’s special day, and look at the fantastic wedding photos we have to add to our collection! They put their trust in our creative photography to capture their day and told us to “do what you do” and we could not be any happier with what we were able to capture. Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Ellis!

In case you missed them, be sure to take a look at Ashely & Kevin’s gorgeous engagement pictures!

erin | bridal photos | pixels on paper

There are so many things we love about Erin, most of which is her gorgeous smile and just being in her company. It’s contagious. She has this energy about her that makes you feel at ease and smile right along with her.  She even managed to get us caught up in the daily wedding count-down! The opportunity to photograph her bridal photos gave us that much more time to feel her joy and her excitement.  She was positively glowing from the moment she sat down in the makeup chair and then radiating even more joy when she slipped into the dress.

On her own, Erin opted for a more natural photo location knowing that she had chosen modern and urban settings for their engagement photos and wedding day.  Mikah Leon at the US National Whitewater Center gave us free reign to do our thing. If you are around Erin any length of time you will find out she is a huge HUGE Tar Heels fan. She came to our shoot with more Carolina Blue props than I could even imagine along with a special little Lady Bug that now holds a very sentimental place in our heart.

Since Erin married her “Sugar Butt” on Saturday we can now happily share our creative photography style in these bridal photos.  Thanks Erin for sharing your joy. Enjoy!

This next bridal photo was Erin’s favorite that she displayed at the wedding reception.

Erin and Brad had rally towels custom printed for wedding guests to use during their wedding reception exit. Wait until you see the photo of them in use!

Erin’s makeup was done on site by  the wonderful Kelsey Bunzey. In case you missed our earlier post on Kelsey’s work, check it out again here.

Other thanks go to:
Mikah Leon at the US National Whitewater Center for letting us shot on location and photograph many of their weddings.
