We love traveling to new and exciting places to capture and create beautiful wedding stories.  This Spring we had the pleasure of meeting Carlin and Matthew and photograph their wedding at Moorespring Manor in Westfield North Carolina.  Carlin is the sister of one of our favorite people, Gracen who we photographed at Boone Hall Plantation a few years ago.  Having the chance to get to know the family, we were sure it was going to be an amazing day.

While I always say that Charleston is “like Disneyland” for photographers, as an artist it is also exciting to challenge our senses and experience new places with a fresh palette of colors and texture.  The venue is located in a rural area and a beautiful drive from nearby Mount Airy.  As photographers, we are always on the lookout for any interesting structures or places with natural beauty to use as elements for unique and artistic photos.  After scouting all the surrounding back roads and little towns we hit the jackpot by finding am amazing barn with richly knurled grain that was perfect starting place for bridal party portraits that were reminiscent of the rural location.  As with any shoot, the element of surprise can often lead to some of the most beautiful images from the day.  On the short half mile drive back to the reception, I noticed a field of beautiful wheat grass that was glowing with the setting sun.  We figured that we had some leeway with a bride in a  wedding dress and took the short walk into the field for these portraits.

We want to thank the Witt and Manning family for allowing us to spend the day with them celebrating this beautiful day.  We can’t wait for Gracen’s wedding at Boone Hall-just saying!
