I had the pleasure of meeting and photographing Ashley’s family portraits last year and they were so much fun to work with.  Ashley and Brandon have been married for 5 years and since Ashley is also a wedding photographer, she started to really regret not having bridal photos made.  That led to wanting new bride and groom photos and she worked so hard to put this entire shoot together.  We had the perfect weather in early Spring at Tanglewood Park in Clemmons, North Carolina and it all went off perfectly.

There are soooo many photos to post from this session because I loved so many of them.  I loved all of the details from the shoes to her belt, to Brandon’s boutineer and of course her vintage makeup by Mac.  We also had amazing cupcakes made just for the shoot by the lovely and talented Cakes by Carrie.  Ashley’s beautiful and unique bouquet was made by Beverly Martin.

I think this shoot is a great way to celebrate a few years of marriage and to just add a little flare and something new with some hot new photos!  Ashley bought a simple new dress and designed this shoot around a vintage theme which she really enjoys to make them even more personal.  If you are interested in having new Bride & Groom photos made, please contact me to discuss your options!  It’s so much more relaxing and laid back then your actually wedding day and you get to have a little more fun with the planning without ruining your bank account.

I posted a sneak peek from Brittany’s bridal shoot a couple of weeks ago.  Ashley Stone was her wedding photographer and was kind enough to invite me along.  We had a beautiful evening at Childress Vineyards in Lexington, North Carolina.

Brittany’s wedding was yesterday so I am excited to finally be able to share these.  Brittany & Trever – congratulations on your wedding and I wish you nothing but beauty and happiness for many years to come.

The vineyard was beautiful, inside and out.  I loved all of the detail and not one part was overlooked.

I was invited along to join my friend and fellow photographer, Ashley Stone,with her bridal shoot today.  I was there to assist and Ashley was sweet enough to let me shoot, too! :)   I can not stress enough how amazing it is to have local photographers as friends and to learn and teach each other instead as competition.  I mean, the whole reason Ashley and I even met is because she hired to shoot her family portraits next month.  Yeah, the stress of shooting another photographer’s photos?  We’ll cover that in another blog post!  I am so excited, though – because Ashley is genuine and funny and believes in me and my work. I cannot thank her enough for allowing me to come along and share in her fun and beautiful shoot!

She will be photographing Brittany’s wedding next month and today we met up at Childress Vineyards for the bridals.  Brittany brought a friend along as did Ashley to help assist and they were all such sweet and beautiful girls and I really did have a blast.  I don’t want to post any of the photos showing her face yet, though, just in case her husband gets wind of my website somehow.  After her wedding, you better believe I’m posting her gorgeous session, though!  Be sure to check out Ashley’s blog within the next few days for more and to see her wedding on September 11th!

Whew! I apologize for the lack of updates here! I promise it’s not because I’m lazy or slacking, but instead because I’m been super busy shooting boudoir sessions.  Hop on over to Simply-Boudoir to check them out if interested!

I am finally able to backtrack a little (OK, a lot) to some shoots I have done over the past few months. On top of being busy shooting boudoir sessions, I have also been talking to future brides and booking weddings for next year! I took a break from them this year and am still being very picky about the ones I shoot next year, but I am really excited about the upcoming weddings and super beautiful brides! :)

Since weddings have been at the forefront a lot lately, I thought I’d edit a shoot I did earlier this year. You may remember the casting call I did for a free makeover from my MUA for her portfolio and to showcase our work as a new team. Bethany was one of the beautiful ladies chosen and I asked her to bring along her wedding gown so we could take some bridal photos. She looked stunning and I loved the simplicity yet glamorous look of her makeup, hair and wedding dress. Here are a few of my favorites!

Unfortunately, it rained all morning long, so we had to stay around the salon/house.  Thank goodness for a beautiful wrap around porch, though!

I LOVE the mixture of tungsten and natural lighting.  Since I shoot natural light, the overcast day was perfect.  In all of the following shots, Bethany was lit from the front by natural light while tungsten light flowed around her in the back.
