We are always honored when we find out that a couple contacts us because of a referral from a past wedding client. Caroline and Andy took the advice from not one, but two of our Bride and Groom couples and contacted us all the way from Boston to capture their NC Mountain destination wedding photography.
The entire day was a great blending of two different families and cultures with nods to both sprinkled throughout the wedding ceremony and in to the wedding reception.

We started the day off with a “first look” with Caroline and Andy and rolled right through the family photos and wedding party, so that after the wedding ceremony, we could get to the wedding reception and photograph a few more wedding photos before starting the party for the rest of the evening.
The interior of Elkin Presbyterian Church is gorgeous and made for a perfect setting for the wedding. With Caroline raised in the Presbyterian church, and Andy raised in the Jewish faith, every effort was made in combining elements from both backgrounds, including closing the ceremony with the kiss, then the breaking of the glass before walking out of the church as husband and wife.

The day took a bit of a twist between their wedding photos after the ceremony and the introductions at the wedding reception. We received a phone call from Caroline’s sister and the Maid of Honor where she let us know that they were going to make a detour before the reception, to the Emergency Room. Yes, the E.R.! Earlier in the day, Caroline did as any Bride would do, and placed her engagement ring on her right hand for the wedding ceremony. But with the heat and humidity and nerves, her finger swelled to the point where the ring would not come off and began to cut off the circulation in her finger. The good news is, after a brief experience in the E.R. where the Bride and Groom were the center of attention, the ring was removed undamaged and they were off to Old Beau Golf and Country Club in Roaring Gap NC to celebrate their marriage.

And party they did. The dance floor stayed hopping all night thanks to All Around Raleigh DJ. At one point late in the evening, Andy and Caroline were each hoisted up in a chair for the traditional Jewish Hora, or Wedding Chair Dance, and danced around the room surrounded by friends and family.

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.

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.

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.

Love is such a powerful emotion, and one that was never more evident than in the wedding ceremony for Katherine Brown and Joshua Isaacs who were married back in November in Wilkesboro, NC. It is easy to see love in this relationship all around. Not only between Josh and Katy, but their love for God and their parents love for them.

Katy’s father, Kevin, is the pastor at Mount Pleasant Baptist Church in Wilkesboro where the ceremony was held in front of close to 400 family, friends and members of the Mt. Pleasant congregation. Of course there was no way he was going to pass up the opportunity to preside over his daughter’s wedding. There was plenty of emotion all around during the ceremony, starting with Josh’s reaction to seeing his bride for the first time, to Kevin’s tearful advice to his daughter and her new husband. The couple even celebrated their first ever kiss together to conclude the ceremony.

After the ceremony, the room was efficiently converted over from seating to tables and chairs for the reception while we took the newlyweds around the church grounds for their first portraits as husband and wife. With Josh dressed in his Marine dress uniform and Katy’s beautiful wedding dress, it was hard not to get a stunning photo.

Walking back into the reception, the afternoon continued with first dances and LOTS of people coming up to offer congratulations. The couple’s final send off into their new married life was running through a gathering of the guests that all had balloons and streamers, but Josh just had to sneak in one last kiss before they jumped into the car.

We’ve worked in the Charlotte wedding industry with Rachel for many years. When it was her turn to be married and she asked Pixels On Paper to be her and Jeremy’s wedding photographer for their Charlotte wedding we were thrilled and honored that she would choose us. This wedding was one of the most emotionally touching and enthusiastic weddings we’ve photographed.
Rachel and Jeremy’s story is unique in that their love did not only involve each other but also Rachel’s daughter Sophia. A short time after Rachel gave birth to Sophia, Rachel was encouraged by her sister to get back into the dating world. Through EHarmony she met Jeremy. We all know a lot of guys that would freak out at this situation and after the first date never be heard from again. Jeremy is not one of those guys. They got to know each other for about a week, went on one date and cancelled their E-harmony memberships! Sophia joined them for their second date and it was obvious that they were meant to become an incredible little family.
Photographing this wedding was easy. In part because Rachel was the wedding planner for the Holiday Inn Center City Charlotte. Lets face it, she had thought of everything and was crazy organized! The main reason it was easy to be their wedding photographer was because the whole day in Charlotte was full of emotion, energy, details and LOVE. We think that even if you don’t personally know this couple you will surely feel the moments we captured in their wedding pictures.

Rachel and Jeremy chose to share a First Look before the wedding ceremony so that they could have a private moment before their wedding and also get as many photographs taken so that they could go to their wedding reception and start celebrating with their wedding guests sooner. We loved photographing this moment between the two of them discreetly from a distance.

The wedding ceremony was located on the roof top rotunda of the Holiday Inn Center City Charlotte. Sophia seemed to be celebrating during the ceremony just as much as Rachel and Jeremy. During their vows Jeremy also made a commitment to Sophia and gave her a necklace during the ceremony as a sign of his love to her.
