Classy and action packed are rarely both used to describe a reception but Will and Rackin’s wedding had oodles of it. The Carmel Country Club was the perfect venue offering plenty of space for dancing and elegant decor arranged by Dina Blazek.

I love this image. the fact that there is a little motion blur that gives the photo an ambiance and enhances the feeling that Will and Rackin are moving forward as husband and wife. The little Fuji x100s is an amazing camera for capturing these kinds of moments.

I love classic wedding ceremonies. Will and Rackin’s was one of those. The backdrop of the Myers Park United Methodist Church only enhanced the feeling.

Groom twirls bride during first dance at Foundation for the Carolinas in Charlotte NC

Often I can feel that a wedding reception feels like more of a party rather than a celebration of the couple joining together. For Jim and Amy however, their family and guests were wholeheartedly about them and were so enthusiastic about their marriage. As with most receptions, the decorations were a main staple to it. For Amy, this was a chance for her to play with all the ideas that she had for her big day. Grays and yellows accentuated by milk glass tableware and in combination with the modern space of The Foundation for the Carolinas nestled in uptown Charlotte, gave a visual design feast for the guests. It was a smorgasbord and all I had to do was point and click.

Once the sun sets, you can still use natural light to make some pretty romantic photos, especially if your venue has beautiful colored light like Foundation for the Carolinas.
