A Wonderful Day In May For A Wedding

Another beautiful May 09 Wedding at the Cape Fear Botanical Gardens. This was truly a wonderful day. If you are planning your wedding outdoors in May, the Botanical Gardens should be your first choice.

Rain Doesn’t Dampen This Beautiful Wedding

This was a great Cape Fear Botanical Garden wedding. The rain tried to dampen the event, however love won out and the show went on. Adam and Melissa’s wedding was a beautiful event and I feel privilege to have been selected as their photographer.

Garden Butterflies

As I was editing photos for two wedding albums and an engagement session, I ran across these photos of butterflies I took after the engagement session. They were just hiding in the folders of other photos. I thought I would just share these with you. I hope you enjoy.

503d Military Police Ball

George Joell 3

Yesterday we had the opportunity to photograph members and guests of the 503d Military Police Battalion from Fort Bragg, North Carolina. There were close to 500 attendees. We were set up in one of the larger rooms in the Holiday Inn Bordeaux. This was our second Ball at the Holiday Inn Bordeaux this year. The staff at the Holiday Inn Bordeaux was awesome. They provided us with a very spacious room, water with glasses, change when needed, and copies of our order form when sales exceeded our expectations.  The event was very organized and we truly enjoyed photographing the couples. The Soldiers looked sharp and the spouse were beautified for the event. We are looking forward to next years Ball and we are hoping that they select us again to capture the memories of the Battalion Soldiers and guests.  Sylvester Williams of SND Memories Photography assisted with this event as well as my wife Millie.

Two Hearts Joined As One

Once again, I had the privilege of photographing a very emotional but spectacular wedding. The Bride and Groom started out as friends, then best friends, then husband and wife. It was a fairy tale come true. I had the opportunity capture every detail of this event and it was everything I could have imagined. The wedding was held at the Main Post Chapel on Fort Bragg, NC. After the ceremony and formals, I took the Bridal Party outdoors for some additional photos. Then I followed the limousine downtown for more photos with the Bride and Groom. Those photos came out amazing. After the outdoor photo session, we ended up at the Rainbow Room in Downtown Fayetteville NC for the reception. The receptions was very intimate and fun. I would like to give a shout out to Genevieve from the Rainbow Room who coordinated the entire event, Marcie Mang with a very beautiful cake, and Carol Rutledge of the Bridal Bouquet with some awesome floral arrangements. I have attached a few photos so that the Bride and groom could enjoy prior to our proof session.

A Beautiful Fall Wedding

This wedding has been over two years in the making. It was originally set for November 2008 and was changed to November 2009. The wedding was held at the Evening Light Holiness Church in Garland, North Carolina and the Reception was held at Lu Mil Vineyard in Elizabethtown, NC. This wedding was number 50 for me this year and I was starting to look forward to the holiday. Recently I had just been uploading finished slideshows as a quick way to get some of my work out there, however, after sorting through a few of the early edits, I realized that there are some amazing shots and I just wanted to share them with the Bride, Groom, and there family and friends. I hope they enjoy these while they are honeymooning.

I also wanted to congratulate Nicole Guess of Magical Creations for coordinating and directing a perfect wedding.
