The Venue at Talbert Pointe Wedding // Mike & Ana

Mike is a friend and coworker, and it was a pleasure to be a part of his and Ana’s wedding day. The original plan included a different location with an outdoor ceremony. In typical North Carolina fashion, and what seemed like 14 out of 15 weekends of rain, the whole event was switched to indoors.

We took advantage of the brief opportunity to take some outdoor portraits during the light mist. Mike and Ana were easy going and adventurous enough to venture outside and created some fun, memorable, and timeless portraits!

Marianna, 16 Years Old // Portraits

Happy Sweet 16, Marianna! This summer was so HOT and BUSY, so we’re a few months late…but extended birthdays are always the best, right?!

Birthday photoshoots have been a tradition for many years, and it’s been a treat to watch her grow up! Every year, the photoshoot is personalized. This year, she chose an uptown Charlotte location with a view of the skyline. We LOVED shooting in Charlotte and had such a great time together!

Marianna, 13 Years Old // Portraits

Meet Marianna! She is the 5th of 6 children in my family. Marianna has been my good friend ever since she was born - actually, even before birth - more like when we found out Mom was pregnant. I had a special attachment with Marianna from the very beginning. So many prayers were prayed on her behalf. I was probably more cautious and paranoid than my mom!

Autumn Family Portraits // Smith Family

The Smith family are one of my favorites to photograph! Their enthusiasm, joy, and energy is contagious. We had a lovely afternoon for a session, near Waxhaw, NC.  I love doing multiple photoshoots for the same family, getting to see the kids grow up and being able to capture that is just another reason why I love being a photographer. Try and not smile while you take a look at some of my top pics from their shoot.

A Blue and Pink Charlotte Wedding // Joe+Jenna

A celebration like this is what makes me so thrilled to be a wedding photographer. Joe and Jenna became immediate friends, and we are beyond grateful to be a part of their love story.

When Jennifer and I met Joe and Jenna at a local Starbucks here in Charlotte, I knew that capturing their wedding would be a joy. And it was! Between meeting them and shooting their wedding, they both visited our church, became members, and became our friends.

This Charlotte wedding was brimming over with joy and excitement! They patiently waited for each other as God was writing His beautiful story for the both of them. Their wedding was held in the lobby of Carmel Baptist Church and decorated with pink hydrandeas and soft teal colors.

Firethorne Country Club Wedding // Ryan+Kacie

What a joy to be a part of Ryan and Kacie's wedding. They couldn't have been more pleasant to capture, and the entire weekend was so much fun!

During the rehearsal dinner, the groomsmen and Jake (the officiant and friend) gave their counsel to Kacie concerning Ryan. They humorously shared stories and wished the best for their marriage. Since Kacie and Ryan live in Texas, I so enjoyed getting to know them both, their families, and their friends during the wedding weekend.

Dogwood Park Portraits // Hart Family

A beautiful day to do a session for the Hart family! They were a joy, and fun to capture! Little Jacob was a trooper, and got excited when he saw the plane fly over (see photo!) It's always neat to meet a fellow opera singer (I'm not really, but Josh is!), Rachel is wonderful violinist too, they both serve in music ministry at First Baptist Church in Matthews, NC.

Thank you for the wonderful shoot, Hart Family!

Birthday & Family Portraits // Smith Family

I love it when a session with a family turns into a great friendship. Such is the case with the wonderful Smith family! So much fun doing another shoot with them, and taking some special pictures for Miller's 1st Birthday! Wonderful to have Mrs. Smith's parents with us, they are celebrating their 51st Anniversary!
