Carlton & Denise were married at the beautiful Graylyn Internation Conference Center in Winston Salem. It was such a gorgeous day, to go along with such a gorgeous couple! I’m so happy that I was able to get to know these two over the past year and really enjoyed capturing their wedding day.
Meet Alan, the super-talented, Irish speaking, charismatic owner of Crown Alley Films… he was so much fun to work with and I can’t wait to see what he captured for Carlton & Denise!
And now meet Paula Latham, the amazing coordinator for the entire day’s production. She made sure every detail was in place and ensured that the day ran smoothly. All while being nice as pie!
This one is hilarious!
Per Carlton’s request… he had seen something similar and loved it… I do too!
Let the dancing begin!
Carlton’s groomsmen surprised him with an Omega watch. He LOVED it!
After the celebration, Carlton & Denise let us have as much time as we wanted for some creative portraits of just the two of them!
*Couples, if you want these style of portraits be sure to block off as much time as you possibly can during your day*
Thanks so much Carlton & Denise! Hope you’re having a great time in the Dominican Republic!
I also want to send a big thank you to Heather Garland for helping assist me during the day! Heather is a true trooper… she had developed an infection in her jawbone the day before the wedding from having her wisdom teeth removed AND she got stung by a bee during the reception, but she kept smiling and working hard. Thanks so much Heather!!!

TC & Elaine were married at St. Therese Catholic Church in Mooresville, NC and celebrated afterward at the fabulous Hampton Inn & Suites, also in Mooresville which has been named the #1 Hampton Inn in the nation. I had so much fun photographing their special day and had a really difficult time narrowing down the images to showcase. To see all of them, head over to my facebook business page:) Enjoy!
who can name what’s on the tv in the pic above;)
Elaine’s bathroom was perfect for getting ready… huge windows and bright blue walls:)
TC & Elaine have 2 adorable daughters. Kayli was the flower girl and grandma made her dress!
I’m so excited, I finally picked up a macro lens… now I can start getting some awesome ring shots!
Aren’t these shoes great?! Since I liked them so much, I’m going to share with you all 4 of my newest favorite shoe images:)
Mom & baby Liliana’s shoes:)
I guess this technically makes 5;)
Elaine’s Grandmother read a sweet poem that she wrote and no one could keep back those tears!
Meet Heather Boswell, the brains behind not only the wedding decor and planning, but also one of the best cake designers around… not to mention best tasting! The cake she made for TC & Elaine had a cannoli filling… yum! Check out her facebook business page to see more of her lovely cakes.
The most violent cake smashing I’ve ever seen!
Love this one of Elaine dancing with her brother…
Thanks you two for having me there on your big day! Also, a big thank you to my friend Laura Manzare for assisting me!

Today I am in Winston-Salem, shooting Carlton & Denise’s wedding, so that means I can finally share with you Denise’s bridal portraits! Denise was the best pre-wedding bride to shoot in her dress ever because she was just running through fields and laying in the grass and not worried that her dress was getting dirty at all. “I’ll just have it cleaned before the wedding” she said. Love that attitude!
Last week was Banner’s birthday and today is Grace’s birthday, so I went back for their second photo session yesterday. Birthdays are a big celebration at Grace & Banner’s house!
The birthday girl!
They didn’t have as much energy this time around…

Meet the gorgeous, and super talented, Bri Purdy. She has a beautiful voice and will be working on a new recording in the near future so she wanted to have a few images for the cd design, as well as just some fun images “Just Because”.
One of my favorite kinds of trees to shoot…
Thanks for a fun morning Bri, and good luck with the next recording!
