When is Wedding Season? Generally, wedding season starts in late Spring and continues through Autumn. We had our first Spring Wedding last weekend. It was an outdoor wedding on Lake Norman. The weather was absolutely beautiful. The late afternoon light was perfect for the Ceremony on the shoreline. The magical light of the golden hour sunset was a stunning backdrop for photographs on the pier.

A Love Story and Baby makes Three

Image
Photographs are one's legacy. They connect us to our past. They remind us of people, places, and the stories of our lives. They help us to know who we are. One of the greatest joys of being a photographer is creating images that will become family heirlooms.   We have been honored to be part of Alex and Eddie's incredible story. From their engagement session at BB&T ballpark in Charlotte, to their Wedding Day at the Holiday Inn Charlotte. And more recently, to their maternity and newborn photo session. We asked Alex and Eddie to share some details about how they met, their engagement and the decision to start a family. Let the adventure begin! Alex and Eddie have known each other for seventeen years. They grew up as next door neighbors when Eddie was 11 and Alex was 8. Their friendship grew as they spent afternoons playing basketball, swimming and roaming around the neighborhood. Eventually in high school they became a couple around 2008. They attended the usual school dan...

The Bridesmaids' First Look

Image
 What is a bridesmaids' first look? It's exactly what it sounds like. You'll get into your gown and accessories in a room separate from your girls. Usually with the help of your mom, mother-in-law or other women you are closest with.  Make sure to block off ten to fifteen minutes on your wedding day timeline so the photographer is ready. It takes time to get everyone in place beforehand. Then it's the big reveal! Your bridesmaids see you all at once. Expect lots of squeals, hugs and happy tears. Everyone is going to want to give you a hug. We love the group hug shown below. It takes time, so plan ahead. It's definitely a sweet moment you'll always cherish. We recommend a bridesmaid' first look if you have the time and space. No one wants to feel rushed, especially if you have a large wedding party. When there is a lot of commotion and chattering in a room, things can become overwhelming.  Getting ready in a private space offers a little quiet time before the...

Why you should hire a professional Makeup Artist on your Wedding Day.

Image
Your Wedding Day is the most-photographed day of your life. You will be in hundreds, if not thousands of photos. It's essential that your makeup lasts the whole day. Wedding makeup application is a specialized art. An experienced wedding makeup artist knows how your makeup will look in a photograph. It's an extra cost, and well worth it. Make sure to schedule a trial run a few months before the wedding. Be prepared. Find inspiration in magazines and red carpet looks of your favorite celebrities. A professional has the skills to recreate those looks. Wear white, or the shade of your gown. Take pictures afterwards. Sometimes makeup looks great in person, but not in photographs. And vice versa. Your makeup should be applied in natural light near a window. Makeup done in a room with artificial light will have a different color temperature than natural light. If your Ceremony is outdoors or in bright room with windows, your makeup will not look the same.  A professional...
