Chetola Resort Wedding: Jessica & Walt | Chetola Weddings NC

  This exact day ONE year ago was pure bliss.   Just wait untill you see their smiles!  This was one of those weddings where honestly nothing went as planned...our timeline for photos just got put away.  The rain had other plans! Rain or not it was perfect.  I honestly can't tell you how calm this bride was and how the rain just really didn't stress her much.  Jessica knew no matter what she would marry her sweet fiance' Walt!  It was a huge help she had Meris in charge with "The Whole Shebang" to rearrange the wedding from outdoors to indoors.  On this day it rained and rained... Ryan ran out to get Jessica a pair of rainboots and she was set!  The rain let up just enough for our first glance.  I adored their first glance...  If any one getting married is unsure of doing the first glance or not please talk to several couples that did!  Its so awesome and seriously makes the day even more special! Trust us!! After the first glance we had time to get some shots on the grounds of beautiful Chetola Resort.   Ryan and I got to spend alot of time with Jessica before her big day.  We shot her and Walt's engagement pictures and Jess' bridals!  Take a look here and here!  Our couples become friends and its fantastic. We get just as excited as others when the day comes and we get to capture it all.   We love you both! Congratulations on ONE YEAR!!! Much Love ~ Ryan & Joy

TJ + Lee : Enagaged : NC Wedding Photographers

Happy Friday Friends!  Goodness you are going to love this session!  We shot Lee and TJ's engagement session in Marion last year near Lake Tahoma.  Ryan and I absolutely love when we get this precious time with our couples to grab awesome engagement pictures but to also get to know our couple.  This is so important for the wedding day and we adore these sessions! This session reminds me of the movie Dirty Dancing for some reason! I just LOVE it!! These two will say I DO tomorrow and we are super excited to be a part of their day!  TJ and Lee's engagement session was also featured on Southern Bride and Groom Magazine Blog!!! You two we can't wait to see you tomorrow!  MUCH love...R and J  

DIY Wedding: Whitney + Derek | NC Wedding Photographers

Yesterday marked two years for this awesome couple! I'm just a bit upset with myself I'm this behind on posting these beautiful weddings we get to capture!  This was simple perfect.  The weather was beautiful and the day was nothing but pure love.  If anyone knows me at all they know I love vintage, antiques, DIY etc... so needless to say we were giddy as ever shooting this loveliness!  Whitney with the help of her Mom and Sis did most all you see!  Casey Norberg created the beautiful cake while Mooresridge Catering provided the yummy southern meal.  The details are endless and I could have blogged for days! Whitney wore her Mother's wedding dress and then changed into another fantastic dress for the reception! Get ready lots of goodness!  Happy Happy Anniversary! Much Love~

Carey + Amy: Married | North Carolina Wedding Photographers

HAPPY FIRST YEAR ANNIVERSARY to Carey and Amy!! This super cute hometown wedding was held one year ago today at the groom's Father's home. From the relaxed bride and groom to the super fun wedding party this day was perfect. You will see raindrops in a few pictures as we waited out a storm before beginning the ceremony! The sprinkles brought beautiful light while these two said their vows. This wedding included guns (in a good way ;)) ...when the couple was announced the matron of honor and best man fired one off for the occasion!!
