Lora in Wonderland – Peacock Inn Bridal Portrait

Posted in Bridal Portraits by IVK Weddings on December 1, 2009

Alice in Wonderland can’t hold a candle to Lora (be sure to check out the last image posted here to see the resemblence)! Her striking red hair, peaches and cream complexion, and vibrant personality, make her a dream to photograph. Then there is her stunning wedding gown. I had the pleasure to capture Lora’s bridal portraits at the Peacock Inn in Newton, NC! We had a great time spending the day together and also hanging out with her mother and maid of honor…you girls were such a big help, thank you! Be sure to check back in the next few weeks for highlights from Lora and Weston’s fall wedding!

Lake Lure North Carolina Bridal Portrait

Posted in Bridal Portraits by IVK Weddings on November 9, 2009

Lauren is absolutely gorgeous. She and her fiance have plan to marry in Jamaica and she chose me to capture her bridal portraits! Her fiance proposed to her in the mountains of North Carolina and she wanted to capture that in her bridal portraits. We decided to choose Lake Lure for her location and it was everything and more we could have both hoped for! The mountains as our backdrop, a beautiful cove on Lake Lure, a pavillon, lush greenery, and the leaves were changing all around us.The color was amazing, Lauren was beautiful in her wedding gown, and the day was simply romantic!

Randi & David’s Fall Wedding – Hickory North Carolina Wedding Photographer

Posted in Weddings by IVK Weddings on November 7, 2009

Randi and David are an extremely sweet couple and certainly meant for each other! They gathered with their friends and family to marry in Catawba, NC with a reception following at Shufford Gardens in Hickory, NC. I had such a good time with them and their wedding party. They jump, ran, got into freezing cold water, and kept me laughing all day! I wish these two the very best in their marraige and Randi and David thank you so much for letting me be a part of your day, I truly had a blast!

Shufford Gardens Wedding Party of the Year!!!

Posted in Weddings by IVK Weddings on October 11, 2009

Today’s wedding was so much fun. I have so much to say about this wedding that I simply cant say it all in this post. From the families, to the amazing wedding party, to the beautiful church and reception venue, to the weather, to the love between the couple…simply put, it was great!!! What I will show off is the wedding party in all their glory. They were so willing to do whatever and indulged me when they said they wanted to get into the fountain for some fun shots. The water was freezing but they were all troopers and thus my favorite image of the day is created! What you dont see in this image though is the father of the groom. Later on he decided to canon ball into the fountain, it was freakin awesome…that will come later, I promise!
