B. Wed: Kelsey and Jeremy’s

A year.  It passes in a blink of an eye.  Yet…some things remain the same.

Kelsey and Jeremy still adore one another.

The Rain: A Mexico Couples Session (Charlotte, NC Destination & Elopement wedding Photographer)

When we awoke to the sound of rain and looming storm clouds vs. the harmony of birdsong and milky sunlight…I admit, we were more than a tiny bit disappointed.

Jodie and Dawn had not only ‘packed their photographers’ but had also planned to have many of their joyous Mexico wedding weekend events fully documented–including a gorgeous couples sessions filled with sandy beaches and toes dipped in cool cenotes.

When we met, taking shelter under the resort awning we knew ‘once in a lifetime’ was what were faced with and ventured out despite the ‘imperfect’ weather.  With gear wrapped in beach towels and shoes removed to more easily puddle-hop; we set out in search of the beauty that is Mexico, rainy or not.

After hiking a gravely trail, pushing back lush greenery and searching for ‘the perfect spot’ do you know what we found?  The interesting thing about a couple madly in love is any backdrop serves as gorgeous–even when being rained on.

 

Just sayin’… (Thursday musings and brand brainstorming babble..)

As we meet this Am to chat on updates to our branding and ‘brainstorm’  on how to best continue to connect with the awesome ‘motley crew’ that are our clients –we have decided on this motto:-)

We are in a sea of really great photographers in the Carolinas but we know this:  if we are true to what we love, whom we love to work with and show this on a daily basis…we will in fact to attract those amazing, spirited, funny, moment junky couples we have been working with the past 3 years.  Isn’t this pretty much true in all of life though?  Be exactly who you are and attract the kind of people who love you for it.

Happy Thursday!

Wedding Wednesday: A Damn ‘Haute’ Bridal Session Charlotte, NC

Happy Wedding Wednesday!  Just thought we’d celebrate this Wednesday with a few images from a GORGEOUS bridal session!

Last year was a year of lots and lots of fitted wedding gowns (mine included) with tons of tailoring and little very little ‘princess’….until Lindsey.

This Allure dress just cried out for a very fashion-inspired session (and Linds’ gorgeous jawline, cheekbones and doe-eyes did not hurt the equation either:-)  But don’t worry…we don’t stay ‘serious; for too long around here. (Linds had a hard time keeping ‘model face’…see below . lol)

PS:  their gorgeous  Lake Lure Inn wedding will hit the blog soon… Happy WW!
