Wedding Photography and Videography

Keshama and Eric chose the Sweet Magnolia Estate in the Lake Norman area of Charlotte for their June wedding. A unique wedding venue with Southern Charm. The Wedding Gardens are professionally designed and landscaped. The romantic and serene garden courtyard leads to a platform and trellis. The floral entwined trellis was a beautiful focal point for the Ceremony. It was also a perfect backdrop for wedding photographs, and the classic shot of Keshama's stunning gown. The reception was held indoors in a rustically elegant building with covered porches and ceiling fans. Sophisticated and charming. One of the most fun parts of your wedding day is getting ready with your bridesmaids. It's the only real downtime you have before the show begins. The Bridal Suite was spacious and comfortable. In the excitement and anticipation of the big day, there's nothing better than having your besties by your side sipping champagne and sharing stories. And looking pretty in their matchin...

Planning your Wedding takes a lot of energy. You spend so much time on the details to make sure everything is perfect. If you're a perfectionist party planner, it's not always easy to be the laid back bride. You'll be more at ease on your Wedding Day if your organized from the get-go. Create a Wedding Binder to keep your contracts, notes and receipts together. Hire experienced and professional vendors. They'll know how to execute a fun and stress-free day. You could also hire a Wedding Planner. Or a Day-of-Coordinator if your the point person with vendors. There will be snags along the way. Accept that. Your napkins are the wrong color or your bridal bouquet is smaller than expected. Don't let that overshadow the joy of the day. Take a deep breath and don't lose it over insignificant details. Sierra and Matt's outdoor ceremony was relaxed and all smiles. They chose The View at Emerald Lake Golf Club in Charlotte, NC. The perfectly manic...

There is something so romantic about a waterfront wedding ceremony. The beauty of a serene and peaceful lake is special and memorable. When planning your decor, use the scenery and the natural landscape to your decorating advantage. Take the less-is-more approach.  Let nature be your decor.  This elegant and sophisticated wedding took place at The Peninsula Club in Cornelius, just north of Charlotte, NC. The outdoor ceremony overlooked the golf course greens and water feature. After Christine and Brian exchanged vows, they took their first photos as a married couple. The lush grounds and picturesque shores of Lake Norman was the perfect backdrop. The reception was held in the Lakeside Room with panoramic views of the lake. It was an intimate celebration with family and close friends. View our Photo Gallery at  : http://bit.ly/DEPhotoGallery Contact us at  www.davidedwardphotovideo.com Contact us at  www...

What's a Bride's number one fear about Planning an Outdoor Wedding? If you said rain, you are correct. So always have a backup plan with your Wedding Venue. Whether it's an indoor room, covered outdoor area or last minute tent set up. You don't want to be stressed because the day cannot go on as planned. They do say rain is good luck on your Wedding Day. A knot that gets wet, is very difficult to untie. So, if it rains on the day you "tie the knot", it will be just as hard to undo. Plus, there's not much you can do about it. The weather is out of your hands. So embrace it. In the grand scheme of life it's not that tragic.  Besides, misty and soft light make for dreamy and romantic photos. It's also a relief from bright sun and heat. Rain will cool the weather down. Your guests won't get overheated, and your wedding flowers won't wilt. And there is the possibility of a rainbow! Another sign of good luck. Erin and James chose T...

There are basically two styles of Wedding Photography - photojournalistic and traditional. The traditional style has been practiced for decades. They are usually classic portrait style, and posed photographs. They include group shots of the bride and groom with the wedding party, and various family members and friends. They are timeless. The photojournalistic style captures the action, true emotion and expressions as they unfold. They are candid. Often people are unaware they are being photographed.  So which style is best? Choose a photographer who recognizes the value of both styles. That way you avoid the disappointment that many couples feel months later. They didn't get a photo with a favorite aunt or uncle. A professional wedding photographer will put together a list of key shots. The photos that tell the story of the day. It's up to you and the groom to think about those extra shots you might want to add. Create a wedding photo checklist and gi...
