Evan & Makana | Fun & Elegant Lakeside Wedding Weekend on Lake Norman NC

Makana & Evan set out to create an elegant, yet super fun destination wedding weekend event for themselves and their SoCal friends and family. So, they all flew into beautiful North Carolina for a weekend full of fun on Lake Norman, NC.

It was the absolute perfect combination and balance of elegant, classic, old Hollywood, and boats, lake activities, fishing, and wake surfing.

The couple had a very specific vision of the style of photos they wanted for their weekend. Heavy film vibes, candid, motion blurred shots, and documentary style. We were so excited about the approach to documenting their weekend, and it allowed us to really explore creatively with low pressure. Alongside of these digital images, we shot video, and 4 rolls of 35mm film! There may be a separate blog of the film photo highlights as well.

After documenting the couple’s beautiful wedding day, we returned the following day to capture the couple enjoying the lake with their sweet friends and families. Fishing, grilling, swimming, and wake surfing were all in order, and we were so there for it!

It’s difficult to look through these images and not feel like you’re there…experiencing the emotions and feeling all the feels. Exactly our goal for every image we deliver for every client.

We’re super proud to present to you, Evan & Mahana’s wedding weekend.

Ian & Taylor | Love-Filled Elegant Wedding at The Harvard Club of Boston

There was ZERO questioning the level of excitement that Ian & Taylor had on their big day at the Harvard Club of Boston. There were so many smiles, bursts of laughter, explosions of tears, and we were lucky enough to be there to document it all.

Boston, and Harvard in particular, has a very special place in Ian’s heart as it’s where he attended school and led the track team during his time there. You might say he fell in love with Boston and his alma mater enough to tie the knot there.

Taylor & Ian did exactly what we advise all of our clients to do…”Make sure you take time to stop and soak it all in. Enjoy this day because it’s over in the blink of an eye.” They did just that. You could literally see them stopping to hold one another, tears welling up in their eyes, and soaking in each other’s love. It was beautiful.

Josh & Cari Anne | Asheville, NC Fun & Romantic Mountaintop Sunset

Josh & Cari Anne showed up to their session in the NC mountains ready to hit the trail and have fun. It was abundantly clear that they are super comfortable with one another. They literally did their thing while I documented with very little instruction. I think the result is a super genuine, authentic, and cinematic gallery. This location never disappoints, and we were greeted with one of the most beautiful, warm sunsets I’ve ever experienced here. We can’t wait for these two’s big day at The Omni Grove Park Inn later this year!
