I had a fab time shooting Ashley & Matt’s wedding back in October. They are an incredibly cool couple who were great to work with – they basically trusted me to take care of their wedding photography my way and let me do my thing! Charlotte wedding photographers are definitely lucky to have such amazing venues as the Trump National Golf Club and St. Thèrese Catholic Church – both places have great architecture with very different styles and a lot of character.

Here are a few of my fave frames from the day. Congrats guys!
