White/Williams Wedding

Long time no posts! I've been busy busy, wedding season is here! I have done three weddings so far this month. The first one took place on June 5th at the Chapel of the field in Crouse, NC. I met the bride April and her Groom Steven as soon as I got there. At different times of course since they didn't wanna see each other before the ceremony. I also got to meet all of their kids, who were so cool and fun! I heard bits and pieces of April and Steven's love story throughout the night, and I cried my eyes out during the ceremony. Which was crazy since I had just met them! You could just tell from the way that they looked at each other that they had a special kind of love. Everything about the wedding was beautiful. But the most amazing part? During one of their first dances it started to lightly rain, they didn't budge. They just kept dancing, I always say rain makes for better photos. Even better, a double rainbow appeared in the sky above. I have never seen a more beautiful moment! 

Here are some photos from April and Steven's special day! 











































































































Such a beautiful day!

Congratulations Mr and Mrs Williams!

Holliday Family

This past Sunday I had the pleasure of photographing the beautiful Holliday Family! We had decided on the rail trail in Lincolnton. Which I didn't find out til our shoot is undergoing a little improvement. They are in the middle of painting a huge train mural down there. Also they are in the process of making the train car a historical spot. So they have it and the building that it's attached to all fenced off. Which made for some extra editing, cause those are the best spots down there for photos! The family was made up of mom, dad, and two precious little girls. I had purchased some treats for them before our session, and let them know right away that if they were good and smiled a lot that they would get them at the end of our time together. That's all they needed to hear and they turned on the smiles and didn't stop til the end! I gave them some awesome pink light up glasses, and some candy, they were thrilled with both! I am a big fan of bribing for smiles :)

Here are some photos from our time together!

Prom 2015!

I was asked by Michaela to take some prom photos of her and her date last week. The weather wasn't looking good, 100% chance of rain. I'd already had to reschedule one session because of it. But, you can't reschedule the prom! Or the photos, so we met up hoping for the best. It was a little drizzly at the beginning and raining harder by the end, but I was prepared with umbrellas. I was probably looking ten shades of crazy myself, I found one of those disposable plastic poncho's at home and put it on to protect me and my camera from the rain. I may have looked crazy but it worked! She had sent me a picture of her dress before we met so I could pick out a fitting location. I knew exactly the kind of backdrops this dress needed as soon as I saw it. It needed bright backgrounds, bricks, metal, buildings, all of it. So I asked her to meet me in downtown Lincolnton, where we both live. The town may be small, but it has some stunning backdrops if you know where to look for them! Michaela and her date (I say her date, because he was the strong silent type. I never got his name lol ) did a great job, and didn't seem to mind me dragging them all over town!

Here are the photos from our time together! 







She asked me beforehand if she could be a typical prom girl
 and blow glitter in a photo so I brought some along!
