Wedding at McGregor Downs CC in Cary NC

Michael and Kathy's wedding took place at the beautiful venue McGregor Downs Country Club in Cary, NC.  I still have to do a blog post on Kathy's bridal pictures but I honestly could not wait to show this great wedding. I have photographed a lot of weddings this year and I must say this one is by far the funnest one I have been to. I arrived with the girls sitting around about to start getting in their bridesmaids dresses. Once I got a few photos of the getting ready I met up with the guys to get their formal pictures before the ceremony. I must say it was at this moment I realized that this was a FUN laid back group. The guys could not keep a straight face, they continued to goof off. They tried with a serious face to  apologize for their behavior but I immediately said no dont apologize, as a photographer I prefer the real moments, and man did they give it.  A traditional wedding photographer may have waited till they settled down to snap the picture but a true photojournalist wedding photographer captures true emotions and moments as they happen.

McGregor Downs property is really beautiful and I love photographing at the venue. The new wedding cordinator is Maceda whom I thouroughly enjoyed working with. What I loved also about this wedding was the bride and groom added white fabric and chocolate chandeliers hanging from the tent that covered the guest during the ceremony. It gave it more of a classy elegance feel. Wedding DJ Mike Morse was rocking the house. I am always happy when my clients go with my referrals. I really love the picture of the bridesmaids dancing in front of the DJ booth, I chose not to use the flash so you could really feel the vibe of the room and how dark it was in there. Cant wait till our next wedding in October Mike.

I am soo happy Michael and Kathy chose me as their wedding photographer, their wedding has officially made it to my website Raleigh wedding photographer

Raleigh wedding Photographer NC

I love being a wedding photographer in Raleigh,NC.  Weddings are happy, joyous events that bring out the best in emotions and reactions in people (which makes them a photographer's playground). Any photographer that photographs a wedding should have this outlook, since it directly affects their performance and presence.

The wedding photography of Amanda and Scott took place in Raleigh, NC. Amanda wanted artistic wedding photos with a PJ style(photojournalistic style of capturing unscripted reactions from family and friends  from a distance. This is a great approach to getting great authentic moments.) Speaking of moments I think you are really going to enjoy some of the photos taken during the wedding reception. Amanda and Scott are a good looking couple so needless to say I was happy to be their wedding photographer.

View their engagement photos . Engagement photography is a low-pressure chance for the wedding photographer to have fun and experiment. I try to find the intimate side of the couple, making the pictures unique to the engaged couple. A professional engagement photography session also permits the photographer and couple to establish a relationship and this leads to better wedding photography during the actual wedding day. I will be posting Amanda's bridal pictures soon. 

For Raleigh wedding photographer, NC wedding photography, Raleigh wedding photojournalism, to reserve date and ask any questions concerning my services please contact me. I am a Raleigh NC wedding photographer  and proud of it.

North Carolina beach wedding photography

This hometown Myrtle Beach gal loves it when I get booked for a beach wedding. Brandy and Adam's wedding took place at Topsail beach, North Carolina outside the Atlantis. The Atlantis was a beautiful venue and is able to accommodate 200 guest. I must say there is only one thing I don't like about photographing a beach wedding and that is the carrying the equipment down a flight of stairs, then trucking through the deep sand, long black pants on, and the afternoon beating sun, hahaha I said one thing and then wow I let it spill. So let me follow up with what I love about beach photography in NC.  The beach to me is my place of peace, the place where I put the worries of every day life behind and as Jimmy Buffet would say" The only worry in the world is the tide going to reach my chair. Sunrise, there's a fire in the sky,  
never been so happy, never felt so high, and I think I might have found me my own kind of paradise."  I think that sums up the personal side, and on a photo side I think its a great place for me to be creative. One thing I want you to notice about the pictures is the popping blue water. When I look at them I don't feel like I was in North Carolina, I feel like it was a destination wedding. I truly loved how the beach wedding photos turned out hope you do. Thank you Brandy for choosing me as your photographer.
