Raleigh Wedding Photographers »

Happened upon Glo de Vie MedSpa one night on Facebook. Got to love Facebook. I approached Glo de Vie to talk about some cross promotional ideas for our two business.

It was an easy sell to Adria(Glo de Vie manager) who was right on board for the glam aspect of photography that I do Vintage Vixens.

So with that being said, please join us for a fun evening of Lashes, Hips, and Lips to learn about their fantastic product line and services and to also register to win a Vintage Vixen session.

See you there!

Many friends welcome!!

I don’t know that I’ve ever not been shooting a wedding at Highgrove when it’s less than 90 degrees. Yeah the temps were high the day Tim & Jenna got married. Not a big deal as the tent that hosted their 150+ guest reception was quite the party-like air conditioned atmosphere and the groomsmen played quite the part in the entertainment. Yes, those boys have certain panache on the dance floor.

The day for me did not start with my impression of the boys. That was taken on by my fine associate shooter Rebecca. Kudos to her for knocking out some very candid and fun moments of the guys.

I was with a very cram filled room of women and their accessories. Shoes, bags, dresses, bags, makeup bags,  . . . . you get the picture. It was all good. The atmosphere was happy as a glowing Jenna made her last minute enhancements(she doesn’t need much in the first place). Her bouquet by Fresh Affairs was a fine accessory to her stunning dress from Victorian Rose Bridal in the popular Glenwood South of downtown.  The flora also graced her reception tables with varying heights of glass vases of the greens and white. And in all it’s grandeur, and gracing it’s own table was the elegant 4 tiered wedding ‘art’ by no other than Donna Ford of Sweet Memories. She’s one of my favorites in the industry as she’s done my childrens’ birthday cakes.

Below are some of my fav pics of the day. There were a ton of goodies. It’s hard to choose. To see the complete collection of images, please friend me on Facebook.

So glad Laura and her Mom had passed by my new studio and thought enough to give me a call. During our consult I learned that Laura is on her homecoming court and was really looking forward to some fun and fresh pictures. They employed the help also of one of my makeup artists, Page Berse of About Face Makeup artistry. Laura opted for a slightly enhanced look as far as her makeup went, yielding a very natural look. Pretty girl doesn’t need much anyway.

The Senior at Smithfield-Selma is a first for my new studio and a first the high school. I look forward to serving more area high school seniors.

Girl has it going on and I knew she totally would!

Gina came my way via Facebook awhile back through a friend and periodically would stop in and ask questions about having a Vintage Vixens session with me. When we finally friended one another on Facebook, I couldn’t help but, ask when she was going to have a session with me! Empirically speaking, she’s very attractive. In front of the lens, I think we can all agree, she’s a stunner!!

I knew when I saw her that she could pull off the pin-up look with grace. And it was just an obvious for me when I saw her that I’d stick her in my hutch. Crazy, I know.

Little did I know until editing time that I’d end up with my new poster child for my sister spin-off company of Swank, Vintage Vixens. Site is coming really soon.

Adorned with a fascinator (compliments of Etsy vendor, Satanica), a 1920′s period style hair accessory, her looks were impeccable.

Special thanks to Page Berse/About Face Makeup artistry for the artistic makeup and hairstylings. You did a stellar job!

More July Vintage Vixens sessions will be posted really soon.
