Wedding Photography and Videography

You made a huge investment in your wedding day. It took months to plan. You're back from your honeymoon and can't wait to see your photos. They are on a digital download for your review. They are a wonderful blur of events. As weeks, months and years go by you try to recall your special day among new memories. So on your wedding anniversary you cuddle up and look through your wedding album. Except, you don't have one. That's the number one reason why you should. 1. Preserves your memories You hired a professional photographer to capture the key moments of your wedding. So why not invest in preserving those memories. We live in an age where almost everything is on a screen. How often will you go back to your digital images on your computer or phone? Your wedding photos deserve more than to collect dust in a computer or live in a cloud. You want something tangible. Something physical to feel or touch. You will flip through your album often. Especially if displayed and...

The 2019 Fall Bridal Makeup trends are about glamming it up. It's about bold eyes... and yes, that means black eyeliner and wispy lashes. The focus is on the lashes and liner, not the shadow. Lining a bit thicker on the top lashes will do the trick. And adding a softer liner, on the bottom outer corner of the eye, will give it a smokey look. You want to keep the under eye area clean and bright. Completely lining the bottom lashes may create dark shadows under the eyes in photographs. Remember, the key to pulling off this look is a nude or soft lid. To complement the bold eyes, keep the lips and cheeks soft. It's all about balance. Another trend works the opposite way. Vampy bold lips and soft eyes. Think bordeaux or cherry colored lips with a natural or nude eye. With a statement lip, be sure to keep your eyes light and minimal. A soft eye liner with a coat or two of mascara. If you've never worn dark lipstick before, don't wear it on your wedding day. Best...

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...

Kaitlyn and Ryan tied the knot at the gorgeous Trump National Golf Club in Charlotte, NC. The cathedral ceilings, chandeliers, floor-to-ceiling windows and incredible lake views made for a grand Wedding Ceremony and Reception. The surrounding grounds were a stunning backdrop for breathtaking portraits and special moments.   The best part of a Wedding is documenting how beautiful everything looks. The decor, flowers and most importantly, the Bride. She gets the royal treatment with on-site hair and makeup in the Bridal Suite. Getting ready with her bridesmaids is probably the only downtime she'll have before the festivities begin. We love how the bridesmaids hung their dresses behind Kaitlyn's exquisite gown. As the Bride and Bridesmaids are getting glammed up and making sure every detail is in place, we turn the camera lense to the Groom and Groomsmen. One of the best parts of the day for the Groom, besides marrying his true love, is spending t...
