The Story Continues: Laura and Mike (and Anna)

We started Laura and Mike’s story on June 23, 2007 at their beautiful wedding at Atlantic Beach on Carolina’s Crystal Coast. And we were so pleased to get a chance to document their next chapter as we recently photographed them with baby Anna. It’s such an honor to have our clients trust us with all […]

Roxy's Snow Day

We don’t get much snow in Charlotte and when we do it’s usually a big event. The ever-cautious weather prognosticators at our local TV stations generally hype a possible “snow event” with incredible depth and glee. Of course there was little mention of snow yesterday and it caught most people by surprise. Even though it […]

Professional Spotlight: The Duke Mansion

Something to Celebrate: Another Anniversary

The economy seems to have everyone feeling down and the Carolina Panthers suffered a tough loss in their playoff game last night – but we still have reason to celebrate today.

Ballet Photography - The Nutcracker

There is so much gloom and doom around these days that it seems a perfect time to get a respite by taking in the North Carolina Dance Theatre’s (NCDT) performance of the holiday classic The Nutcracker. Thursday night’s dress rehearsal was a delight with beautiful music by the Charlotte Symphony, incredible colorful costumes and of […]

It’s a great time to be a sports fan in Charlotte with the Carolina Panthers scoring a huge win over Tampa Bay on Monday night football and another season of college basketball hitting full stride. We’re big Panther fans and we’re among the thousands of area fans who have jumped on the Davidson Wildcat bandwagon […]

We get the opportunity to work with so many great wedding professionals so we’ve decided to periodically spotlight a few we consider to be among the very best. Although many of our events take us to other great cities, we thought we’d start right here at home in Charlotte. Ballantyne Resort is a Mobil Four-Star […]
