Maternity: Amy
Amy approached me about photographing her maternity session at Wing Haven Gardens. I jumped at the opportunity as Wing Haven is by far one of my favorite locations in Charlotte and Jim and Amy are such a fantastic and photogenic couple. The soft natural setting matched the look Amy wanted her maternity photos to have and we were blessed with gorgeous light that day as well.

Another photo of Amy in the midst of the gorgeous greenery of Wing Haven Gardens. It suited her well as she wanted to really have a vibrant location to mirror her little boy who would be arriving soon. I love the soft natural textures that bolster the maternity session.

Amy just delivered her little boy 2 weeks ago, but I still want to share her wonderful maternity photos at Wing Haven Gardens. I love being a part of their growing family and sharing in the joy of a new life!
Ban
The Duke Mansion is a bit of a fairy tale location in Charlotte. There is not too much like it available to the public and the fact that we were able to photograph Ban’s Bridal Session there was extremely exciting to me. Ban was graceful in front of the camera and suited the location to a T.

Wedding Reception: Jim & Amy
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.
