Jack croons to Candice and Jason

A smattering of beautiful images from their Sutherland wedding in Wake Forest:



I was stumped for a perfect song for this wonderful couple. So many complex, heart wrenching songs to choose from, but sometimes familiar and straightforward fits.. so for a couple that is warm, hospitable, beautiful.. I thought this suitable.
(oh, so many thanks to my new friend and professional peer, Liesl).

Kim and Joe's Highlight reel!

These are pretty much SOOC (straight out of the camera, for my non-photo readers); I need to get busy doing some fine tuning to their great wedding images. For now, enjoy the show!

Mint Museum

Remixed from last night. The high resolution DVD is available and doesn't smoosh my files so bad!

Katie and Matt...

I looked forward to Katie and Matt's wedding for months! Not only were they beautiful and sweet to work with in their sessions before the wedding, I had extra enthusiasm because their reception was at Childress Vineyards! I put this little slideshow together for them to celebrate the awesomeness of their day:

Now I have to mention here that Shane Snider, of Shane Snider Photography was my awesome partner in crime at Katie and Matt's wedding. Shane is super funny, I knew this from the couple times we'd bumped into each other in the photographer world, but working with him was not what I expected. It was a lot like...being all by myself...only someone handed me these super awesome and already edited images to give out... hah!

Anyway, Katie and Matt, I know you will love our images. Here are my favorites...

Shelley + Alex

A new slide show! Set to Shelley and Alex's first dance (I remembered! yay me!)




How cool is that? These will be available for iPod's sometime this year.

Alyson+Todd

Alyson and Todd had this beautiful wedding in Arapahoe at the China Grove Plantation. My husband John worked with me, and we had a fabulous time with so many gorgeous details (and guests!). Rachel from Bridal-by-the-Sea did a great job coordinating this destination event.
Notice the heirloom brooch on the bouquet..

I love this shot of the bride touching up her makeup.

little bit of great light always helps.

Alyson and her father exchange meaning glance as they step out for the ceremony.

hey! That's my shadow! I was a part of all this too...

unusual view made possible by having a 2nd shooter do the typical shots.

yes, they kissed...but what an emotive hug!





I just LOVED that these two kids were standing together really paying attention to the dances!





I've left out great images from portraits...the cake cutting...the bride on the stage with the cowbell (did the band pay you the 5G's yet??). But I have to end somewhere...so I'll end with the first step you took-- alone-- your first evening:

You can view a slideshow of more favorites here.

Meredith+Bryn!

This was such an amazing wedding-- a wonderful beauty-filled way to start my official 'wedding season'. Congratulations to you both, and thank you so much for having me be there to document your day.

I have put a link below for the slideshow. I've decided I hate embedded slideshows...you all should have a choice in viewing or not, right? Slideshow Here!
