new website content

I took a break from working on the last few weddings from last year to update my website. My website is getting so many hits and I am getting a lot of inquiries, so I thought it was important to show the new work. I only have one feature gallery for now, which is Ann and Nathan. Their wedding at Claxton Farm was so awesome and they had so much fun. I keep posting the image that I made a huge canvas print at my office, so I will post one of my other favorites. I love Queen Ann’s Lace. It’s my favorite flower, which is hilarious because it is a weed. My mom chose my name because it means queen in Latin and my middle name is Ann, so there you have it.

I have other images that I need to upload, including the two weddings that were featured before. There are other weddings that are completely not respresented, including Tera’s and Karen’s, that will be. My last wedding was the most fun – they had an Elvis impersonator so that will definitely need to be included. I have only put a fraction of the engagement sessions up, too. I am planning on launching a completely new website in the next month – so stay tuned.

ann and nathan – claxton farm

Ann and Nathan were married on a hot, overcast Sunday afternoon at Claxton Farm. Ann radiated happiness from the moment she put the dress on! They are a super fun couple and it was a perfect wedding. Stacy at Bloom Room did extraordinary flowers as usual. Weddings with a live band have incredible dancing and interaction shots. A Social Function had the bride and flower girl on the tamobrine, then Nathan, his brother and groomsman took over the mic for some AC/DC.

Claxton Farm has 360 degree mountain views and is absolutely gorgeous. Maria and her staff were a pleasure to work with, making sure that the couple and their guests were well taken care of. I love the dance floor out in front of the rustic barn. It was so cool with the dancing shots being outside! There were so many special moments just on the dancefloor – Nathan kissed Ann’s hands as they finished their first dance. Nathan’s dance with his mother was especially touching. Right as it is getting dark, I like to take the couple aside and do a few shots. I love the shots of Ann and Nathan in the barn!
With over 1,500 images, it was hard to narrow down a few to share with you. I am so excited over these images!

Here’s what Ann said: “Thank you so much Regina! Of course we love them! I kept it playing all night ;-) I have forwarded it on and everyone loves it. You’re an amazing photographer..everyone has been so impressed! Thank you, thank you! I cannot wait to have them in frames so I can look at them all the time!”

ann and nathan – e-session at grove park inn

I finally got to meet Ann and Nathan after months of emails and telephone calls for their engagement session. They live in Boston, MA, but her parents live in Charlotte. The wedding is at Claxton Farm on July 1 and I am so excited about how beautiful their photos are going to be.

Ann and Nathan are such a cute couple and so much fun! We were supposed to meet at Lake Lure for their engagement portraits, but with the crazy weather we decided Grove Park Inn would be a safer location. It’s a good thing we moved the e-session inside. It was snowing in April! We got some fabulous shots in the snow with the stone work and mission style exterior lights. I love the shots at the end with the dogwood and the snow. Thanks for braving the cold for the cool shots!
