Mabuhay! Greetings from Manila
Hope all is well with you. I landed in Manila Friday night. I have quite a travel scheduled planned for the rest of the year between the Philippines, North Carolina and Michigan for weddings, portraits, events, and pleasure. I’m in the process of making plans for my stay in Manila. I already have a few things lined up with local photographers and wedding planners with a couple of other ideas in the works.
I really want to take advantage of my time in the Philippines to learn more about local wedding traditions and wedding photography as well as explore the country. I am planning on attending Elegant Weddings, a world-class wedding fair at the end of the month at the EDSA Shangri-la Hotel.
It will be great to make connections with local vendors and to see the new and innovative wedding ideas from the Philippines to share with you. More to come…
Need to get a hold of me or chat? The best way will be through email since there is a 13 hour time difference.

A Midsummer Night’s Dream
Amanda and I met at the Bass Lake Bridal Show earlier this year. I am so glad Amanda and Jason’s busy schedules allowed for them to go to the Bridal Show for us to connect! We had a great time working together. Their wedding and reception all took place outside at the Stillwater Lodge Christian Retreat, in Dunn, NC - a great location! They were married by the lake with the reception steps away under a big white tent. The heat of the day couldn’t keep us from having fun! They have so many cute photographs, it is hard to pick which ones to post. Here are a few of my top favorites. Congratulations again to Amanda & Jason!!!!

The Duty of a Flower Girl
I couldn’t resist posting some of the flower girl photographs from Amanda and Jason’s wedding. Julia and Ruby always seemed picture perfect. They were so cute!

Pretty in Pink
Each couple has their own vision of their perfect wedding day. All the planning and time pay off when the day finally arrives. It is always so nice to see the choices couples make for their location, decorations, and all the little details. I have been so blessed to work with so many great couples throughout the years. It is such a pleasure and honor to be someone’s wedding photographer. I love doing it!
Michelle and Austin were married at Kirk of Kildaire Presbyterian Church in Cary, NC. What a great location - good lighting, nice windows, with some great brick walls that make for interesting and flattering backgrounds. The reception was at Homewood Suites by Hilton. The weather made for another perfect day for photography. The day was brightened up even further with the wonderful smell and soft pink shade of the Lilies in the girls’ bouquets. I LOVE the pic of Michelle by the brick wall in the church! Here are some of my other favs too.
Are you friends or family of Michelle and Austin? Here is the link to see all of their photographs Forever Young Photography.

Last Train to Clarksville…ummmm….Salisbury
Courtney and Tracy picked out great locations for their special day. Their wedding was at Salisbury Haven Lutheran Church in Salisbury, NC. The church had a gorgeous red accent wall behind the alter. It really pops in their photos. The wood details added a nice finish. Check it out below. The reception took place at Salisbury Station. I love this location! Courtney and Tracy have so many cute photographs from their wedding day! I wish I could post them all! Congratulations again Courtney & Tracy!

Salisbury Railway Passenger Station
If you are still looking for a reception location, check out the Salisbury Station in Salisbury, NC. Great lighting, nice location, and tons of lovable architectural details. The station was built in 1908 and has much charm. The doors open up to a foyer with different parlor rooms and a grand waiting room where all the magic happens. A covered concourse lets your party spill outside. To find out more details, check this site out: http://www.historicsalisbury.org/depotrental.htm. The pics below to give you a glimpse into the possibilities of this location.
To see more images from a wedding reception at the Salisbury, see Courtney & Tracy’s Wedding.

Just About Time to Say ” I DO!!!”
Katie and Brian are getting married the following weekend in Michigan. I am excited to see all their hard work planning for their wedding to come all together. We had a great time during their engagement session in the Plymouth area. They were so easy to work with; I know we are going to have a great time together on their wedding day! Here are some of my favs from the engagement session. It is always so hard to just pick a few photographs to post!

Sara and Lio - That’s Amore!
…When you dance down the street with a cloud at your feet, You’re in love….
Sara and Lio were married at Stanford Memorial Church on Stanford University grounds in California. A very beautiful church! Lots of mosaics, stained glass, tiles, columns, and architectural details to make anyone drool if you have appreciation for the little details. Sara and Lio had a beautiful ceremony and a wonderful reception at the Kohl Mansion in Burlingame, CA. Here is a sneak peek.

Congratulations to Fred and Erin!
It was really an honor to be the wedding photographer for Fred and Erin’s wedding. Justin has known Fred since 
and I met Fred when I met Justin. He has been a close Friend of Justin’s and a good friend to me as well. So photographing their wedding meant a lot to me. I am so glad Fred and Erin found each other and I hope Las Vegas treats them well!
Fred and Erin had their wedding outside at a beautiful setting, under a gazebo overlooking Lake Michigan just outside of South Haven, MI in Coloma, MI. The reception was steps away under a white tent surrounded by tiki touches. Everything went perfectly and the beach was icing on the cake or should I say cookies. Congratulations again to Fred and Erin! We wish you many smiles and fun adventures together!

Cinderella’s Dream and a Step Back in Time
Claudia and Brian were married at the Barclay Villa in Angier, NC. Wow this is a cool location! So many great spots for photographs! Here are some shots to get a feel of the location and some of my favs from Claudia and Brian’s wedding. I thought it was a cute touch that Claudia and Brian’s favors were little shoes filled with yummy goodies. A glass slipper just like Cinderella’s.
