Tara & Jose's Wedding { Winston Salem Wedding Photography }

What a wonderful wedding! Tara & Jose were married at Magnolia Manor in Colfax, NC. The weather was overcast and sprinkling rain while everyone prepared for the big day, but luckily it held out for the outdoor ceremony! Everything was so beautiful, down to the very last details. I was also able to sneak the bride and groom away for a couple minutes during the reception to get some photos of the two of them alone. Here's a sneak peek for you guys...

The Carolina Weddings Show has been POSTPONED...

It seems like every time we have something planned, the weather decides to drastically change and snow! What is up with that? Last time we planned a free weekend so my husband and I could take a Saturday off (which is our busiest day!) and drive to Statesville, NC to park the car, walk the town, browse the antique shops (I find awesome props in these places!) and hang out together. Well, we ended up getting the biggest snowstorm we have had in a LONNNNGGG time. We still took a snow day and had a snowball fight, so it wasn't all that bad :-)

Here we are again, been planning and working on our booth layout and design since August, it's supposed to reach 60 degrees today and, you guessed it! Snow and Wintry Mix (at this point they are calling for 5-6 inches) beginning Friday and lasting throughout Satuday. Sooooo - The Carolina Weddings Show at the Benton Convention Center in Winston Salem has been postponed due to the forecast of icy weather this weekend. They have moved it to Saturday, February 13th, same time (11am-4pm), same place (Benton Convention Center).

I guess this leaves me with another free snow day (YAY!) and a little extra time to get everything together for the show. Make sure you stop by and say hi!

K & G's Christmas Day Wedding { Winston Salem Wedding Photography }

K & G were surrounded by friends and family as they exchanged their vows on Christmas Day! The red roses and poinsettias were gorgeous and the sanctuary was breathtaking! Flash was not allowed during the ceremony (which is pretty common), so I was lucky enough to sneak up into the loft and shoot the wedding from there - and I got some AMAZING shots with my wide angle lens :-) My husband also got a beautiful shot of the flower girl waiting for the ceremony to begin...with the light coming in from the window and surrounding her, the image almost has a surreal, angelic feel to it. Enjoy :-)

S & C's Wedding Sneak Peek { Stokes County, NC Wedding Photographer }

S & C were truly a WONDERFUL couple! They had an awesome story and I was so touched to work with this couple. I also got a chance to test out a new toy that I got to "back-light" my couples. The church was beautiful with amazing stained glass windows - everything went perfectly for their wedding day - and the weather! Geez, how many other brides are lucky enough to get a 78 degree sunny day in mid-November?

J & B's Wedding { Winston Salem Wedding Photographer }

What a beautiful wedding this was! The bride was gorgeous and both had wonderful families that I got to work with :-) The day began rainy (which in Italian culture is actually GOOD LUCK!), but quickly cleared and ended with an amazing sunset! Anyway, here are some of my favorite shots from their wedding day - and a sneak peek for the bride and groom!

Emily and Daniel's Wedding {Tanglewood Park}

This had to be one of the most fun weddings I have been to in a while! The bride and groom were amazingly easy to work with and their families were so much fun! I truly enjoyed meeting them all! Of course, shooting weddings here at Tanglewood Park in Clemmons, NC has a special place in my heart and I always get a bit emotional when we photograph there. That was the venue the hubby and I chose when we were married two years ago :-)

Here are some of my favorite shots from Daniel & Emily's wedding...and if you visit our studio, you will see a huge 20 x 30 matted print hanging in our gallery of the first photo in black and white. I just LOVE the emotion that I captured in that shot! Congrats guys!

I love this last shot, too! While I was photographing Emily getting her hair and make-up done, my husband noticed Daniel getting his tie straightened - he actually caught this shot as he was running! Amazing!

Chris & Jessica's Wedding - Magnolia Manor

I know, I know, I am running soooooo far behind on my blogging! I am trying to get so much done, the studio completed, marketing materials ordered, it's almost overwhelming! This was a beautiful wedding at Magnolia Manor in Colfax, everything went so smoothly, the weather was perfect and the bride was gorgeous! I had so much fun with this couple, doing their engagements and wedding, and meeting their families! A photographer couldn't have asked for better clients :) Anyway, here are some favorite shots of mine from their wedding...
