Charlotte Wedding Photography: Amy and John

By fotoRecord On May 25, 2011 1 Comment

It was great to witness the close family ties that were evident throughout Amy and John’s wedding.

John’s brother led the Mass while his father served as best man, his brother and brother-in-law were both groomsmen and Amy’s sister-in-law was matron of honor. It was easy to see the close relationships they both had with their parents and grandparents.

Following the ceremony at St. Gabriel Catholic Church, everyone traveled to Carmel Country Club to celebrate.

Peter Zay, a talented photographer and instructor, gave me a great assist in documenting the day. Peter and I have worked together many times photographing North Carolina Dance Theatre dress rehearsals.

Congratulations to Amy and John and their families!

Love the emotion Peter captured in the Father/Daughter dance

During Amy's father's speech, her mother took a little exception to his statemtn that this was the "happiest day of his life." — A funny moment from Amy's father's speech

But her father rebounded well with some serious dance moves — Amy's parents display some serious dance moves

We took a walk out to the course at Carmel Country Club and saw a beautiful sunset

Fotorecord is the online journal for Christopher Record Photography.
This blog is mostly about photography. Couples looking for someone to document their wedding with emotional images full of love and laughter have come to the right place.
We like pictures that tell stories. Photography that doesn’t intrude on your day. Images that stand the test of time.
After spending many years working as a newspaper photojournalist covering everything from hurricanes to athletes, presidents and celebrities, I decided to shift gears, go to work for myself, and focus on documenting some incredible weddings. We also do some corporate and editorial photography.
My wife Betsy is my best friend and business partner. I hope you will get to know me, my family and share some of our adventures as I talk about sports, life and, of course, photography.
