Courtney + Dave Shady Wagon Farm Wedding | Modern Carolina Wedding + Destination Photographers

 

Meet Courtney + Dave.

NCIS Bride + Navy Groom = Super awesome combination. What a blast we have had with these two over the past year getting to know them. When we first met with Courtney and she mentioned using Shady Wagon Farms in New Hill, NC for her wedding venue, we were so excited. We had never photographed a wedding there before but had heard all about it and were dying to finally get the chance. And of course, Courtney is the DIY queen, collecting so many rustic/chic pieces and crafting things herself to complete the romantic theme for the wedding. Along with help from Shady Wagon Farm’s fabulous wedding coordinator Lynn, Courtney pulled off the wedding of her dreams. And the horse drawn carriage and classic truck? Just icing on the cake.

Courtney + Dave, we were so blessed to be a part of your special day and the months leading up to it. Your families made us feel right at home and we could not have asked for a better experience. And to all of the staff at Shady Wagon Farms and the other vendors, great job!! You sure lived up to our high expectations!

And to all of the blog readers…leave Courtney some love in the comments about her amazing wedding decor!

Meet Hannah + Matt.

Two of the sweetest people we have ever met. We began working with this family back in early 2012 when Matt’s nephew was born and we were asked to photograph his brother’s family.  We  immediately fell in love. (You can check out the little man’s newborn photography experience here.) When Matt finally popped the question to his lovely fiancé, we were so excited when they contacted us to be a part of their awesome day. It was a beautiful, intimate ceremony, and everyone welcomed us as if we were family. One of the perks of working with repeat clients…and genuinely awesome people!

Hannah, you made one stunning bride and had the perfect day that you have always dreamed up. Thanks for letting us partake in the festivities! Congrats again to you + Matt.

Product Spotlight: Custom Engagement Storybook | 10×10 Modern Wedding + Engagement Album

Most of our J+A Wedding Experiences include an Engagement Experience, which we LOVE! It is so fun hitting the town with a couple, spending a few hours goofing off, and come away with awesome new friends and some pretty cool photos. And what a great way to show off a highlight of those images with a custom designed Engagement Storybook Album.

We love how sleek these books are, and the perfect size to sit on your coffee table. As with our Wedding Experience Storybook Albums, we have been to many nationwide expos and trade shows and are confident that we chose the top album company in the US. There are many different cover options available, so you the bride can chose something to fit your personality!

These books also boast full genuine photographic prints and not press printed pages. This allows for images to be full-bleed across the pages, and have that desired lay flat effect


Although the pages are thinner than our Wedding Experience Storybooks, they are still very durable and will not bend or dent. This particular book is a 30 page book (15 total spreads) and is our standard size.

That wraps up our Engagement Experience Storybook. Keep checking in for more Product Spotlights of the awesome custom items we offer!

Danielle + Jason North Carolina Wedding | Carolinas + Destination Wedding Photographers

Meet Danielle + Jason.

We actually had the honor of photographing Danielle’s sister, Amanda, back in the fall of ’11. We were so excited to hear Danielle had gotten engaged, and thrilled when they contacted us to photograph wedding #2 as well! It is such an honor to develop a relationship with a couple, as well as their families, and feel right at home on the wedding day.

We couldn’t wait to see the floral design for this wedding either…and we sure weren’t disappointed! The peacock feathers were the perfect accent for Danielle’s whimsical personality, and the colors lived up to her playful spirit. Cheryl at Cheryl’s Floral Designs did an outstanding job, so if you ever need a floral designer, she’s the one!

Danielle + Jason we wish you guys the best and can’t wait to see what the future holds for you!

Product Spotlight: Metal Art Print | Wall Display

When we opened the box last week we knew we were in LOVE. By far our favorite new product! Meet the J+A Metal Art Collection.


This is a sample 20×30 Metal Print that we are excited to have as a new wall display option! Your photograph will be printed directly onto high quality aluminum with ⅛” rounded corners through a dye sublimation process for a clean and lasting final product. It also is finished with a high gloss, which grabs the attention from anyone who walks in the room. Seriously, it COMMANDS attention. This thing is beautiful! It is so vibrant and will allow you a unique way to display your favorite J+A Experience images.

There are two mounting options available: metal posts or an block. We chose the metal posts for a more contemporary look. The block will provide you with a ‘floating’ look and have your print stand off the wall 3/4″ with no holes in the front of the image. The posts are either 1/2″ or 1/4″ depending on the size of your print ordered, and will display as pictured above and below.

 

So there is a basic overview of one of the custom wall art displays that we offer here at J+A. Stay tuned for more product spotlights in the future!
