Westwood Baptist Church Cary, NC – Wedding Photography

Julie and Andrew had their wedding at Westwood Baptist Church in Cary, NC with the reception following at the North Carolina State University Club in Raleigh, NC. It was a beautiful day for a wedding and I was so excited to be their photographer. I had previously shot a wedding last year at Westwood Baptist Church, so I felt right at home. Julie was such a beautiful bride, and everything fell together to make her day very beautiful and memorable.  I also shot some bridal portraits of Julie leading up to the wedding day, be sure to check those out.

This was my first time shooting at the NC State University Club and it was a great venue for a reception.  It was definitely a privilege to be a part of Julie and Andrew’s most special day.

Raleigh Bridal Portraits – NC State Arboretum

Check out these Bridal Portraits that I shot back in mid May. Julie, her Mom and I had a great evening at the JC Raulston Arboretum doing this portrait session. I have had the unenviable task of sitting on these and not releasing them until the wedding (I definitely don’t want the groom or other wedding guests to see these until the big moment).

The wedding is Saturday, July 27th and I will be able to make these photos public then! I am absolutely looking forward to the wedding day! Julie is a very happy and fun person to be around and I think it shows in the photos! She’s going to have such a great wedding day!

Please enjoy these Bridal Portraits that were shot in Raleigh at the NC State Arboretum.

I’m finally getting a chance to put up a sample of the photos from Megan and Josh’s wedding at the Kitty Hawk Pier in the OBX. This was such a fun wedding to be a part of, and I’m so happy for them!

Raleigh Wedding Photography – 360 Degree Virtual Reality Panorama

The wedding of Nichole and Gray Sweat was this past weekend and it was an amazing event! I was such a pleasure to do the photography for them and their family. Before the first dance began, I had the DJ pause and I did a quick 360 pano ala the Google Business Photos. I’ll get another blog post up with some from the wedding day, but for now, please enjoy this 360 Degree Virtual Reality Panorama.

Wedding Ceremony 360 panorama – OBX Kitty Hawk Pier Photography

I had the distinct pleasure of photographing the wedding of Megan and Josh Price this weekend. I had the idea of using the technology behind the Google Business Photos at the ceremony to vividly capture the ceremony’s moment in time. This was my first time trying this at a wedding, and I think it turned out great! It took a brave bride to let me do this, as it was a tad disruptive of the ceremony; I’m glad Megan was such a good sport to let me try this! The resulting product is a very unique capture of the moment for them. In the coming days, I will post a peak at the rest of the images from the wedding, but for now, please enjoy this 360 panorama of their wedding ceremony on the beach at the Kitty Hawk Pier in the OBX of North Carolina.

Bridal Portraits in Washington, D.C. – Monuments and National Mall

It was an amazing weekend to shoot some Bridal Portraits in the Washington, D.C. area.  We had planned on doing this when the cherry blossoms were in bloom, but alas they weren’t this weekend.  The last two years, this weekend was the peak, but we had some winter this year which put the blossoms not blooming.  We decided to press on, however, and got some great Bridal Portraits.
