Ballet Photography: North Carolina Dance Theatre's Nutcracker

There are so many great traditions at this time of year and one favorite is North Carolina Dance Theatre’s annual performance of the Nutcracker.

North Carolina Mountains Wedding Photography: Anne Marie and Joey

Charlotte Wedding Photography: Betsy and Joseph

Betsy and Joseph live in Charlotte, but both of their families and many of the guests traveled from Houston for their elegant event. The monsoon-like weather we’ve been experiencing in Charlotte had everyone looking to the skies, but we made it though the day with just a few brief showers. Christ Episcopal Church hosted the […]

Lake Norman Engagement Photography: Anne Marie and Joey
