I knew this shoot was going to be fun.

Alessandra is an incredible ballet dancer, a member of the North Carolina Dance Theatre and someone I’ve photographed many times over the past several years. She and Michael were recently engaged and I was excited about working with them.

They are both so personable and fun and we had a great time on a recent evening wandering around Charlotte. Thanks to my son Sean for giving an excellent assist as we moved to several locations.

I’m adding a few early favorites and looking forward to working with everyone at their wedding next year.

I always know that a wedding that features a Kathy Allen Fine Wedding Cake is going to be an impressive event.

So I was excited and privileged to get the opportunity to document Kathy’s daughter Kendrick’s wedding to Clay at The Duke Mansion. And, as you would expect, the cake and the entire event, were spectacular.

Kathy is known to go above and beyond as she consults with brides to learn more about their dresses and flowers to help her create a masterpiece cake that fits seamlessly into the overall feel of the wedding.

The Duke Mansion was the perfect host for the event, which included an amazing palette of colorful flowers from Elizabeth House.

Adrian Howe of Beauty Sophisticate had the ladies looking gorgeous and Jessica Jonczak and the staff at The Duke Mansion made everything run seamlessly. I got another excellent photography assist from the talented Peter Zay.

You might say the event was, well…a piece of cake.

Congratulations Kendrick and Clay!
