Aleta & Rod – Charlotte NC Wedding Photographer & Video – Trump National Gold Club

I’m finally getting back to the swing of this and I will catching up with our blog in the next week. Stay tuned! I’m excited to start off with Aleta & Rod beautiful lake front wedding at the Trump National Golf Club. Aleta did a beautiful job with her peacock themed wedding. The purple and blue colors complemented the wedding so well. I am partial to up lighting as well. It really helps bring the colors together and create a stronger ambiance with the rest of the decor.

This cake topper was pretty awesome! They look a lot like Rod and Aleta and adding the HOT ROD (Rod’s nickname) was the perfect personal touch!

Adding some plantwear jewelry to a bouquet helps with the elegance of the event.

Beautiful bride!

I love capturing these sweet impromptu moments. 🙂

You can just see the love they have for each other in this photo. LOVE IT!

Bridal party!!! LOVE the socks!

This sweet moments of just the two of them is one of my favorites of the day. Make sure you always take a few minutes to just be together on your wedding day 🙂

Peacock themed candy bar!

Here are a few of Aleta’s Charlotte Bridal session images at Winghaven Gardens. This princess dress was pretty cool because you could take out the bottom section and have a shorter dress, which made dancing a lot easier on Aleta. 🙂 Gotta love this sign “Here comes the bride” Super cute! Thank you Aleta & Rod for allowing us to capture photo & video for your wedding day! We had a great time!

“Your Memories….Our Passion”

This gorgeous couple began their day getting ready at the Ballantyne Hotel. Stephanie’s hair was stylized by Jessica Furr and Kymm McLean of Who is the Fairest perfected Stephanie’s make up. Stephanie was breathtaking in her gown and her delicate white bouquet by Lori at Harrisburg Florist. Everyone smiled as John and their cute dog Dunkin awaited for Stephanie and her father to walk down the aisle. Chris Payne wed Stephanie & John outdoors in the presence of their closest family and friends. The romantic reception began with the cutting of Jill Delmastro of Cake Lady Jill’s elegant cake. The night continued with music by the Split Second Sound team led by Jonah Pearl, handmade cigar bar, and more. Stephanie & John ended their first night as husband and wife under a sea of sparklers as they made to start a new life together.

We hope you enjoy viewing this video as much as we enjoyed being a part of this special day!
