Heather and Drew had me out to their lakeshore home on a cove in Sherrill’s Ford

We had a blast with their dogs and enjoyed shooting through the fall colors and evening sunset..

Heather and Drew had me shoot their engagement photo session at their Lake Norman shoreline home.

You can see the golden sparkles from the fall sun bursting around the couple’s clasp hands in the cover photo on their custom designed greeting card.  Heather ordered that picture on metallic paper as a 16×24 enlargement for her walls, I can’t wait to see where that art will live!

Heather and Drew didn’t want a lot of space inside for writing, but wanted to allow the photos to convey much of the message.  

On the back, Heather wasn’t sure what to do to complete the design, so here’s our e-mail convo:

“How about 102 - 109 for the back cover. I know it needs to be portrait but we don’t want another picture of us on the back. Leaves are pretty..”

“Oh yes Heather I hear you - you want a tone poem to fall, expressing the hidden energy between blue skies and falling leaves - yea I got it.”

And then after she got the cards out, here is her response:

“Hey Neil -
Everyone loves the xmas cards. I’ve gotten notes from most of the people we sent them too. Also, the humane society that we adopted Otis from loves them and wanted your info.
Not too mention how much we love them! You’re so talented!

Liesl helped me pick out sizes for some of our pics, we took advantage of the sale!

Have a Great Holiday!
Heather”

We’re so satisfied when we give voice in our photos and design to people’s lives and bring joy to all those around them

To continue the story of Kelly & Tom I will take you to their backyard where you will see two very distinct perspectives. One of a 6′4″ man:

And one of a 5′4″ little mama!

What makes a wedding personal?  Speeches is easily one of the top answers.  Seth had nearly the whole room in tears as he gave a sincere word of gratitude to Rachel, I was so thrilled to catch these expressions.

I love this, he just could NOT stop looking at her, it really did make me teary-eyed!  Luckily I could still see to click the shutter!

What other touches make a wedding unique?

So glorious of all days, Rachel takes her father’s arm for one final promenade.

She is greeted by Seth, who had no idea that anyone besides Rachel was present at the wedding.  I don’t think he stopped looking at her the entire time!

Even his possy could not keep their eyes off

However when it came time for committment, you know, time for “till death do us part,”  Seth adds, “As long as you make your mom’s salsa.”

I have been promised a jar of said salsa, and will review it accordingly.  Now THAT is a promise worth sealing with a kiss!!

These two made me laugh and cry all day!  I love you guys!
