Trisha + Essex: F.U.N!

Thomas — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 15:02:17 +0000

This was a beautiful and colorful wedding at Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden. The predominant red was an awesome color to go with all the green there at the gardens.

Trisha and Essex are a super cute and fun couple and we just couldn’t stop taking photos. One of the really memorable moments at this wedding were the speeches which were full of tears and emotion!

The couple and I wanted to do something special for this wedding and we chose to do the coverage is in 16:9 wide format.

Two days later we also did a Day After session, which was a very nice and romantic lifestyle theme at the Ranson House in Huntersville in NC. You can find those photos on Critsey’s awesome new Blog.

Rebecca & Rick – Rain & Sunshine

Rebecca’s bridal portrait was an indicator for her wedding: it started with rain and ended with sunshine and a beautiful heavy-clouded sky.
Rebecca and Rick’s wedding at Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden was no different. Right when Rebecca got ready to be walked down the aisle by her dad it started to pour down. Programs were used as umbrellas but everybody was amused and not much later the sun came through the clouds!
The gardens made for great pictures and an elegant vintage Rolls Royce too the couple away …

Dora & Brent go GREEN

What do Dora, Brent, a rabbit, a hummingbird and I have in common? They all love Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden and had a blast at Dora and Brent’s wedding!

These two are just so cute and the first hours of married life gave Brent wings—as you can see! Their colorful cake was done by Elizabethan Delights—way cool how it looked plain white from the side but when you approached it you saw the colored tops!

We even dared to take pictures inside the new Orchid Conservatory. This is a beautiful place, but believe me: taking pictures on an August afternoon there is hard work—for subjects and photographer alike! :-)

Thank you guys for a fabulous wedding!

Alex & Paul & some Plants

I am so blessed that I have all those amazingly nice clients. And every now and then I leave a wedding and think “Gosh, this was awesome!”

Last weekend this happened again, when I got into the car after photographing Alex and Paul’s wedding at Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden in Belmont, NC. Not only that the two are a handsome couple but the whole day had this special something. The two were so laid back and also great in front of the camera. Everything was special, even their honeymoon is: they went on a road trip across the USA the same evening!
