Our cute bride Jennifer got married this June so we wanted to share her fun bridal photos with you. Jennifer arranged to take her bridal portraits at a historic home in her home town of Oxford, North Carolina. What an adorable place!!! Generations of her family have lived in Oxford. They have some many friends in town that a collection of admirers gathered to watch and, lucky for us, help out. We always love extra assistants. Samantha, her dog, was a special addition to her portraits. We especially loved Jennifer's hot pink Kate Spade shoes!

We would like to congratulate our good friends, The Dessert Divas, on their article in the latest Wilma Magazine! They make the most delicious cakes imaginable! At a recent event, I overheard a woman exclaim after one bite of cake, "Oh! This is simply divine!". What an excellent description! Their cakes and desserts are divine! I had the pleasure of photographing the Divas and one of their cakes for the magazine article. We had so much fun, so I thought I would showcase the article. Take a look at the other cakes the Divas have made recently on their blog and don't forget to call them for cakes for any occasion! (910) 399-6276 or (910) 599-1290.

We took Michelle and Alex's engagement photos in downtown Raleigh on a perfect spring day. Love the blooming tulips and bright spring colors! Engagement photos are such an excellent way for the couple and the photographer to get to know each other and have a chance to work together before the wedding. Look for Michelle and Alex's wedding photos to be posted as I edit away! They had a beautiful wedding at Duke Chapel a few weeks ago! Congratulations you two!

We LOVED taking beautiful bridal portraits of Katie at the Bellamy Mansion in downtown Wilmington! She was 'all things gorgeous' right down to her super cool shoes! Her beautiful dress is from the A Carolina Wedding Bridal Salon. Our favorites were taken on the porch overlooking the blooming trees.

Jodi was planning a beach wedding last year when we took her bridal portraits on Wrightsville Beach. Her beautiful beach wedding at Topsail Island was last weekend so now we can share these with you. She and her now husband, Lee, love the beach and boating. Even their engagement photos were taken on the beach. The gorgeous location fits her personality perfectly. It was a beautiful day and we had so much fun with her. Our deepest congratulations to Jodi and Lee.

The latest issue of Southern Bride and Groom has been released and we are especially excited because our photo is featured on the cover! Our 'cover couple', Jonay and David, were married on the 4th of July at the Carolina Inn. We had the chance to celebrate the magazine launch at the Southern Bride and Groom Spring Luncheon on April 2nd, 2009 at Sister's Garden in Raleigh. What a beautiful party! Loved the colors! I had fun taking a few shots of the cute bouquets on the tables, adorable cupcakes, and the lovely ladies of Southern Bride magazine. Thanks again Donna for selecting our photo!

Now that our lovely bride, Julia, is married, I would like to share a few of her beautiful bridal portraits. We took her photos at Historic Oak View Park in Raleigh. It is a restored antebellum farmhouse. It was a great day, and we love the way we were able to catch the gorgeous light coming through her veil! A photographer's dream!

Cassie and Keegan were married November 23rd, 2008 at the 5th Avenue Methodist Church and had their reception at Thalian Hall in Wilmington. Our last wedding of '08! Cassie chose beautiful fall colors for her wedding. We loved the deep purple bridesmaid dresses and her pretty combination of flowers for the bouquets. Cassie and Keegan had a great party with tons of friends and family! What a great wedding! Congratulations Cassie and Keegan! We loved being a part of your wedding.

Last night we were invited to a beautiful party given by Joel Hurley and Dale Herring, owners of the Preston Woodall House, in Benson. It was a celebration of their 10 year anniversary in the wedding business at the historic home. What a fantastic party! We really enjoyed the gorgeous flowers provided by Lyn of Fresh Affairs. He created very dramatic, tall arrangements with cascading white orchids, crystals, peonies and roses. My favorite! There was also a beautiful cake, excellent food, wine and great music! They attached a tent to the reception room that was lit with blue lights. It looked very 'icy' with white leather couches, candles and a clear glass bar. We were excited to be able to attend the event as a guest for a change instead of working! Although, I couldn't resist bringing my camera.  I kept it simple- only one lens! Here are a few of the photos:
