Charlotte Wedding Photography: Claire and Bill

Claire and Bill have been a little busy lately. Graduating from the UNC School of Medicine, preparing for a move to Colorado, and also the little matter of their magnificent Charlotte wedding before heading west for their residency training.

Charlotte Wedding Photography: Austin and Eric

Austin and Eric’s wedding at the Duke Mansion was perfectly suited to the majestic setting of the historic venue. And the cooler, less-humid May weather was ideal for the outdoor ceremony. Austin’s amazing Anna Maier-Ulla-Maija dress was a stunner. She said she had met the designer, Charles Bunstine, at the Atlanta shop where she bought […]

Lake Norman Wedding Photography: Elizabeth and Sean

Elizabeth and Sean had all of the ingredients in place for a spectacular wedding. The site, Elizabeth’s parents’ newly constructed home situated on a quiet cove on Lake Norman, offered wonderful indoor and outdoor spaces.

Twyla Tharp’s […]

Charlotte Ballet Photography: NCDT's Innovative Works

While I enjoy the beauty and grace of classical ballet, I always look forward to the eclectic, creative performances of North Carolina Dance Theatre’s Innovative Works. This year’s collection includes works by choreographers Dwight Rhoden, Sasha Janes and Mark Diamond. (Unfortunately I missed Rhoden’s piece due to a scheduling conflict). Adding to the experience is […]
