One moment in a relationship

One moment in a relationship….

Carefully captured.

Storytelling relationship moment - Charlotte NC photographer

We ask ourselves as visual storytellers, ‘what is the story’?  here it is, in a single moment - captured perfectly as Mindy walks down the isle and John sticks out his tongue at her.

I revel in the moment, and capturing this gives me great pleasure - both to work for clients who understand individual expression, and to work so hard to really capture it for them.

There’s a lot of competition in the ‘wedding photography’ market these days, but as I’ve been observing weddings since 2003 - these nuances are easily noticed to my experienced eye.  The WPJA gave me a top 5 in the nation ranking in 2004, and aging has only made me more sensitive to these moments - aware and able to capture them.

Husband & Wife

Neil and I recently had the awesome opportunity to shoot together at Kelly & Tom’s wedding! Our Husband & Wife package is one of my favorite packages for an obvious reason:

I don’t have to bring my step ladder :)

He is awefully handy like that!

All joking aside, there is so much value in having two photographers at your wedding. Because here at Make Love Real, LLC we are all about not making you choose. After all, who could choose between Kelly (by Liesl)

And Tom? (by Neil)

They are both way too adorable! And which of these moments would we want you to miss? Neil’s shot . . .

or mine?


These images are such key elements to the story of Kelly & Tom’s day with family and friends, and even though they happened at the same time Kelly and Tom don’t have to choose, because they chose both of us.
