Bridal Shoot | Carlin Gallman by the Schultzes!

Here is a tidbit from the bridal session captured by Cheyenne and Geoff of The Schultzes!

CWD thinks that photography should be at the TOP of your list when choosing wedding vendors and when budgeting. These pics are great examples of 'why' we feel that way. It takes true talent to capture what you see below and the photos are with you for a lifetime. Some photographers stage things a little too much and make the subjects feel like characters, which may be fun at the moment but most clients regret the intense 'staging' once they see the photos, especially a few years down the road. Choose someone who truly captures your personality and focuses on YOUR personality, not theirs.

Thanks Cheyenne and Geoff for once again, another breathtaking session.

Featured Client | Sarah Clark Hopfer, Carolina Bride

We are so excited for and proud of our March 2010 client, Sarah Clark Hopfer! She is featured in the current issue of Carolina Bride magazine.

This 3 page spread showcases a few snapshots of her day and tells part of her love story with her hubby, Clark. This family is very near and dear to me and I was the planner for her sister's wedding in 2008.

Congrats Sarah! You completely deserve this spread and we are ecstatic for you! Thank you for the kind testimony you gave us (below).....we adore you guys equally =)

LOVE YOU!

Happy Wedding Weekend CARLIN & HART!

We're heading out to 1st Baptist Church to begin the rehearsal for Miss Carlin Gallman and Mr. Hart Turner. We've worked with this couple for almost a year and have truly enjoyed every minute! Tomorrow after the nuptials we'll party until midnight at Bentley's on 27.

She's this tiny little blonde bombshell with crystal blue eyes, and Hart is this tall, muscular, handsome football player that's a teddy bear when he's around her....perfect match! We've have the pleasure of working with Carlin's mom, Syliva, on much of the wedding - she has been so much fun too and truly adores her daughter. It's precious.

Pictures from their engagement session can be found here....we'll be able to share images from Carlin's drop dead gorgeous bridal session next week!

I will miss you guys and wish you the BEST in life's next chapter. Marriage is a beautiful thing and I know you'll love it! Hugs......HGB
