nc wedding photographer| Raleigh| engagement photos

This NC wedding photographer is behind on blogging because of all the weddings and engagement sessions I did in the fall. Fall is a great time to have engagement photos done in NC because of the pretty leaves and cooler temperatures. I especially loved photographing Faith and Phil because they really wanted to have fun in their pictures. They came geared with their NC State shirts, football and a whole lot of personality. As a wedding photographer with photo sessions like these I still like to keep the mom's and grandmas in mind who are wanting that traditional picture of the couple staring at the camera, ultimately making everyone happy with the engagement photos.

NC wedding photographers-Raleigh Photography

There are so many NC wedding photographers. Raleigh,NC has over 200 photographers. So how do you narrow it down to the perfect person for your wedding day? The most important thing is; Do you love the photographers work? Do the wedding photographs capture the true emotion of the wedding? Are the pictures of high quality?

Do you love the wedding photographers work? In my case the typical NC bride is looking for an artsy flair. Michelle Gunton Photography couples are wanting photojournalistic moments, but with a special added touch in the tenting of the wedding photographs. A Raleigh, NC wedding couple looking for strictly traditional portraits/pictures is not the right couple for me. However a couple wanting both artsy and traditional pictures would be because it still allows me to do what I love and that is artsy.

Do the wedding photographs capture the true emotion of the wedding?
A true wedding photojournalist can make you feel the emotion from the day by looking at their wedding pictures. When choosing a wedding photographer, whether its in NC or California, ask yourself does the photographers work make you feel something, does it make you feel like you were there?

Are the wedding pictures of high quality?
The quality of your bridal portraits, engagement pictures, and wedding photographs should be important in your decision making. NC wedding photographers are not cheap, why would you pay a lot of money to someone to capture one of the most important days of your life if their pictures weren't of top standards? I hope you wouldn't. I personally use a Canon 5D Mark2, which allows me to shoot in very dark situations, without having to much grain.

I was excited b/c I normally do bridal portraits somewhere in Raleigh, whether photographing in a park, a wedding venue, or by a lake, I'm up for anything.

Maternity Photographer-Raleigh Photography

Blog has moved here After a rain delay two weeks ago, we were finally able to do my best friend's maternity pictures. Hair and make-up was done by Ginger Mullins. Renee's husband suggested we somehow incorporate his red camaro into the pictures, so we did just that, and I loved how they turned out. The baby is due Sept 27th, however the doctors are thinking c-section possibly in 2wks. Sooo looking forward to Arya's arrival, she is loved by many. I love you Renee.

Jordan Lake NC wedding Photography

Blog has moved Nc wedding photography Van and Jenni's wedding was held at Jordan Lake,NC. This park has a great wood covered area that will hold over 500 wedding guest, with the lake in walking distance. I was born and raised in Myrtle Beach,SC so when Jenni asked if we could take some pictures by the beach I was super excited.

Jenni is a wedding referral from Erica and Adam whose wedding I photographed last year.

I was really happy with how the pictures turned out.

Thank you to Michelle Robinson who was my 2nd photographer for this wedding. Its nice to have an award winning professional wedding photographer as your sidekick. I look forward to future weddings together, Michelle :-)

Children Photography-Greensboro,NC

New blog has moved here This family traveled from Greensboro,NC to have their newborn baby photographed. They use to reside in Raleigh and I am flattered that they would drive 2 hrs for my photography services. The portrait session started out good, but went south very quickly. The 2 yr old didn't nap on the way over so by the time he got to me he was tired. It was a BIG challenge to get anything from him but in the slide show you will see there were a few laughing moments. I must give Kudos to mom and dad for keeping calm. If you are looking for a session in Greensboro, of any kind, its $300.00 for my travel and the portrait session. Pictures sold a la carte.

Baby Shower Photographer Raleigh NC

My best friend Renee is due Sept 27th so we held her baby shower this weekend in Raleigh. I will be photographing her maternity pictures in 2 wks. Marsha,Renee's cousin, and myself made this baby shower game up and thought we would share since everyone thought it was a hit. We divided everyone up in teams of four. The group of 4 had 4 receiving blankets and 4 baby safety pins. You had 3 minutes to make a bathing suit on Renee using only the items you were given. I would love to show all of those pictures during that time but out of respect for Renee we will keep some things private. There was alot of laughter during this time, who knew you could come up with 4 different ways to make a bathing suit. If you are looking for a crowd pleaser for your baby shower, this is the game.
