Where do I begin with this incredible couple? I have known JP (the awesome groom) for almost 7 years now and can say he's one of the most down-to-earth nicest guys that exists on the planet. Seriously. He's also a really amazing landscape/portrait photographer in North Carolina, and even third shot with me at a wedding last year! Well, interestingly enough, when Mike and I were visiting JP to shoot that wedding last year, we met Cathy. Cathy was this charmingly hilarious new friend of JP's that he had just met at the school they both worked at. Mike I and I knew something was up between the two of them, because when they interacted, it was like nothing in the world existed but them. They were totally and completely smitten! So it was no surprise to me after deciding to date, and after several months of dating, they decided to tie the knot! I'm just so glad I was there to photograph it! :) Their wedding took place at Cathy's parents house in North Carolina, and it was the perfect spot for their intimate affair. JP and Cathy looked incredible, and I love how in their photos they just could not take their eyes off one another! They're the kind of couple that I don't have to give a ton of direction to because they love being in love, and it completely shows. Many thanks to JP, Cathy and their family and friends for letting us photograph this special occasion! We couldn't be happier for Cathy and JP! Enjoy!

And...no wedding would be complete without a bouncy castle:

Thanks for looking!

I recently got to travel to Hickory, NC for Alexis and Steve's wedding...a wedding that was exciting to me on so many levels! Alexis (the bride) was referred to me by her twin sister, Rebecca. Rebecca is the wife of my closest childhood friend, Jordan...and I had only corresponded with Rebecca via Facebook up until the wedding! Rebecca was a huge fan of my work and immediately steered Alexis my way, so I was very excited to sign Alexis and get to be a part of the big day! Along with Mike and another photographer friend of ours, JP Lavoie (who helped as one of our shooters!), we set out for Hickory on a hot, but beautiful, sunny day out in the country. The colors of this wedding were super bold and punchy, which worked perfectly with the very blue sky and lush greenery all around the church! Things cooled off for us after the ceremony as some storms were off in the distance and began clouding up the sky, but we at least captured some special shots while the sun wasn't beating down on us! The reception was held at the Crowne Plaza in Hickory, and I have to say, the DJ they hired had one of the most elaborate setups I'd ever seen (with not one, but two disco balls)! And, of course, being a native southerner, one of the major highlights of the evening was drinking homemade sweet tea served by the hotel! Hurray! :) Many thanks to Alexis and Steve for being such a great couple to work with and for humoring me in some of our hilarious shots! I had such a fun time, and I hope everyone enjoys the photos below (Mike helped out with two below...whoo hoo!). Additionally, if you haven't clicked to see some of JP's photos yet, go ahead and look here!

Thanks for looking!
