Manika + Richard in Charlotte Wedding Magazine!

Transfer — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 16:13:11 +0000

Manika and Richard are such a nice and handsome couple and their wedding at the Westin in Charlotte was outright gorgeous! Manika was an out-of-the-world beautiful bride and Richard, who is from Italian descent also wore traditional Hindu attire.

I am happy to announce that their wedding is featured in the July 2010 issue of Charlotte Wedding Magazine! If you don’t have a copy yet, go and pick one up. The magazine is great!

On top of that we also met the two recently at Athena & Bill‘s wonderful Greek wedding. More of that soon!

Congratulations Manika and Richard!

Athena + Bill Uptown

Athena and Bill had a gorgeous Greek wedding recently – pictures will be up soon. For now here are their engagement photos that wee took an a wonderful warm evening Uptown Charlotte. The two could be out of a magazine, they are just stunning!

Alicia + Chris on the Rooftops

I think Alicia, Chris and I clicked from the moment on we talked about their wedding. They are super fun and it didn’t take a second for them to get in “photo-mood”. They are so great in front of the camera.

We roamed through NoDa and also made it onto Salvador Deli’s roof top. What a cool view!

I am very excited for being their wedding photographer!

Cindy + Matt: Mr. & Mrs.

Thomas — Tue, 04 May 2010 21:29:35 +0000

Pick a cool location for the guys to get ready, a posh location for the girls. Pick a really cute little church to get married and then an awesome venue for the reception. Got it? Ok, you just described Cindy and Matt’s wedding!

The boys got in style at Uptown’s Aloft Hotel, admittedly Charlotte’s hipest hotel, the girls got ready at the Duke Mansion.
After a little incident with the dress that Crystal, Matt’s sister who BTW is a highly decorated professional ice skater, fixed with skilled hands, the two got to see each other in the beautiful Duke Mansion gardens for the first time.

Ok, now it’s time for the cute little church: Caldwell Presbyterian, a hidden gem close to Uptown with a spring garden right by it.
So where do we go for the reception? Byron’s South End! Not only is this a great place for a party, it also makes for some awesome night shots.

This was some serious fun!!

Getting ready: Aloft Hotel Uptown Charlotte and Duke Mansion
Ceremony: Caldwell Memorial Presbyterian Church
Reception: Byron’s South End
Catering: Best Impressions
Cake: Sunflour
Flowers: Flowers of Charlotte

Tiana + Will Uptown!

Thomas — Tue, 04 May 2010 14:23:25 +0000

These two are are a couple to fall in love with immediately! Their engagement session led us Uptown Charlotte, sporting some of the City’s latest architectural gems.

And I can already tell you that their wedding was a blast! Stay tuned for more Tiana and Will …

Traci + Mike … and a Little Friend

Thomas — Fri, 16 Apr 2010 16:34:56 +0000

It’s been a bit quiet around here. But don’t be fooled friends, we were busy! Our honeymoon was wonderful but right after we got back, we rolled up our sleeves and photographed like champs (we are, he he …).

So here is the first engagement session, Traci + Mike! We started at Amelie’s French Bakery, an incredibly cute place and their pastries are soo good! Next we went to Freedom Park where we met Traci’s mom who brought their cute little dog. Such a doll the puppy was!

In addition we paid tribute to their favorite team, the Cleveland Browns and Ohio University where they both went to. Stay tuned for more!

Tamela + Thomas – Handsome by Nature

Thomas — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 23:07:06 +0000

What happens when you put a gorgeous looking couple in an outstanding place like Charlotte’s Westin Hotel? Awesome looking pictures! An easy job for the photographer – just press the shutter.
Just kidding.
However, I have to say that I am so blessed by being able to photograph beautiful people all the time. And Tamela and Thomas are no exception here. They were absolutely natural posers! Everything fell in place and they had that … aesthetic look. And look at that cool red armchair! We love it! It’s part of some new furniture they have at the Westin and they did a great job there.
I have a feeling that T+T’s wedding will be remarkable.

Heather + Jonathan – Southern Elegance

Thomas — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 22:46:28 +0000

Since I relocated to Charlotte, I learned to see and love this special kind of elegance that you only find here in the South. Heather and Jonathan are an extremely handsome couple and their engagement session portrayed exactly this kind of elegance.

What other location could be as grand as the Duke Mansion for this? We are so excited that they started doing weddings now! And not to forget: Jonathan also is an extremely talented designer at The Place for Flowers!

This all is very promising for their wedding!

Sarah & Scott – Red Wine and Golden Light

Thomas — Mon, 28 Dec 2009 19:30:55 +0000

While it’s cold outside, this engagement session will bring you the warm golden light of Fall!
When Sarah and Scott arrived at our house to meet up for their engagement pictures, they brought us a bottle of wonderful Valpolicella! We soon went out and bought a few more. It was so good. Thank you so much, guys!

We headed out towards the countryside on a stunning Fall afternoon – one of those where the light is just magic. We pulled over whenever we saw some nice spots and there were plenty. Finally we rounded up the shoot with some elegant pictures at a restaurant and downloaded the images right when we got back – we were so impatient. Wow what gorgeous couple! They pulled it off like it was second nature.

I can’t wait for their wedding at the Renaissance SouthPark in May!!

Julie & Brian Take Off

Thomas — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 22:21:47 +0000

Critsey and I photographed Julie and Brian’s engagement session a while ago and we are flattered that other Charlotte photographers pick up and reproduce what we do so quickly!
Critsey made reminiscences to 007 in her blog post and I think she’s spot on. The two truly look as hot as Mr. Bond and his charming counterparts! The airplanes and the azure skies gave it that movie look.
Later on we changed locations to enjoy the fact that the fields still were in this enchanted warm fall mood.
