Jonathan and Jacque had a very nice wedding ceremony at a small church in downtown Rockingham, NC.  The sanctuary was very dark, but provided an intimate setting for the service.  A big salute to Jonathan who was in the States during a 2 week military leave from Iraq.

Brian and Elizabeth exchanged their vows at the historic Leak Wall House in Rockingham, N.C.  The gardens are very beautiful and provide a wonderful setting for weddings.  More photos from Brian and Elizabeth’s wedding can be viewed by clicking here to visit their gallery.

Chad and Ashleigh had a beautiful wedding with many family members and friends participating.  The entire day was pleasant with the exception of a brief rain period following the wedding.  This was just a small kink in a perfectly planned wedding.  Upon our first meeting several months ago Ashleigh made it clear that she wanted some fun shots and lots of candid photos during the reception.  Just over 2000 clicks of the shutter provided me with a large selection of photos for Chad and Ashleigh to choose from.  I had a good time shooting!

I enjoy shooting receptions/parties and capturing people having a good time.  This reception took place at the Fair Barn in Pinehurst, NC.  It was built in 1917 for use at the Sandhills Fair, one of the major country fairs in the Southeast from 1915 through 1925.  The facility is very beautiful and provides some great shooting opportunities. This was my first reception of the season and I am glad that Stephanie and Melvin asked me to shoot for them.  The D.J. did a great jopb of keeping people on the dance floor. Everyone appeared to have a great time dancing and socializing.   Congratulations to Stephanie and Melvin!
