We had a great turn out and some fun with lots of learning for the group that attended photographs below.

Followed by Sunday a wedding at The Lakes in Kannapolis in NC, this was a Jewish Wedding, Nora and Avner were married at this location and we learned about the differences of a Jewish wedding, a very beautiful ceremony of two people joining as one.

We are working on the post processing part of this event and those images will be posted before too long and a few on our blog for our readers to read and see.

It was a hot day and the sun was playing with us a little bit by going and coming between the clouds but all in all a beautiful day was had by all not to even talk about the party afterwards inside, what fun.

More on that wedding very soon

Also a Model test shoot for Amanda

More wedding Photographs to be posted very soon

What a time we have had, with meeting Audio to Go DJ Drew Parham, we had a great meeting and found we are both on the same page with our bussiness direction.  We both beleive that the customer comes first and to always go above and beyond to make sure our customers are happy always.

So Audio to Go DJ and Kenenth Light Studios are now preferred partners, they will be added to our vendors page in a day or two.

We have been busy with the Weddings again this month, one of which I am adding a few photographs here today, Donevan and Chandra are a great couple we met a while back when they choose us for their wedding photographers, well what a great wedding it was, followed two days later by a Wedding at the carigan farms in mooresville nc, a very hot day but what a beautiful wedding that was.

Also we had to go into the studio for a client Northwestern Mutual for their Business Portrait head shots, a few of these are posted today below.

We take great pride in making sure we deliver just a bit more than what we promise to make sure the bride and groom are always happy, this is why when we shoot a Wedding, we get hugs from our clients as we leave.  It’s always a nice surprise and lets us know we are making their special day a life time memory.  So without further delay, here is the video.

Also keep a watch-out for new things coming, we did two weddings and the business head shots, those will be posted very soon on here.

We had the pleasure of meeting not just Jeff but his wonderful team, Jonathan and Christina, this is really a professional team that can help you, take a look at their website and pay them a visit.

We then had to head over to Belmont for a shoot with the group, a couples shoot that we are doing as a part of a series, last night was the couples shoot, next is the bride and groom, Vogue Style then trash the dress all in uptown soon as we get all the permits covered.

Photographs of these events will follow soon, so watch this space or just simply follow us.

Today we had the pleasure of meeting Kimberly Bachelder-Werner, Catering Sales Manager, at The Ritz-Carlton of Charlotte.  After displaying our portfolio and client presentation we were graciously given a tour of the Urban Garden.  What a beautiful venue to hold an event or Wedding with its glassed roof and spectacular city views.  And for those who aren’t familiar with the establishment, it’s a LEED Gold-certified Green Building, very impressive!  We look forward to a great working relationship as preferred photographers with The Ritz-Carlton Wedding Professionals.

We also added to our Professional Makeup Artists today, we met with Jessica Lyness, owner of Beauty Asylum, a Fashion, Beauty, Print and Bridal makeup Artist.

We have been so busy in the studio recently with bridal and model shoots, the bridal shoot was for Donavan and Chandra, for reasons that the groom cannot see the dress yet we are not going to post any images from this till after the wedding on the 7^th, but we can show you the engagement photographs taken for the guest card that were ordered.

Donevan is a Photographer himself and this couple are going to make quite the handsome couple, all I can say is the dress code for the groom is great and the dress well I am looking forward to capturing his look as she walks down the aisle.

We have also been so busy networking with vendors for our brides, one of the things that makes us the best choice for brides and grooms is we have the Best Makeup Artists in the industry on our Vendor lists, also all our vendors are the best in their field and we know each and every one of them.

Our Vendor locations are also the best in the area, The Duke Mansion, the Palmer Building, the Manor House and more to be added very soon.

So why not check out our vendor pages while you browse our site.

We are doing some client meetings tomorrow along with teaching some photographers the real grounding in photography that will make them the best photographers that they can be.

Enjoy

August is going to be one very busy month, as we have bookings for weddings throughout the month, outdoors and indoors, and very thankful with this weather for the indoors weddings.

Images from those weddings will be posted here also

We had the pleasure of visiting The Manor House in Waxhaw, NC, a beautiful Plantation home hidden away, and a wonderful location for Weddings.  We met Mrs. Della Connor Helms and could tell she was someone that works as we do; making sure couples are always more than satisfied with the attention to detail and quality of service during a Wedding.  We showed our work, took a tour of the house, and are now a preferred vendor looking forward to our first Wedding shoot there.
Renovated to its present state by owners Kevin and Della Helms, as you drive up the winding lane passing the pond with fountains flowing to The Manor House you take in the charm of this amazing place.  From the original flooring, carefully selected décor, porches covered in Jasmine and Wisteria vines, amenities available such as horse drawn carriages, to the outstanding photography opportunities available in and around the premises, this venue is perfect for any Wedding.

The Manor House “A setting for occasions of distinction”…

Invite your guests to share your romantic event in a lovely Southern Plantation home filled with carefully chosen antiques and sitting high on a hill surrounded by lush trees.  Indulge in dining and dancing in our wedding tent, tossing your bouquet from the balcony to your waiting guests, and departing in a horse and carriage can be but a few of the possible highlights of your wedding experience at The Manor House.
