Wedding Rehearsal Dinner Photos at Trump National Golf Course Charlotte

A Perfect Start to a Wedding Weekend at Trump National Charlotte. Friday began with the wedding rehearsal on the shores of Lake Norman. Trump National is an extraordinary setting for a wedding weekend, with its private-club atmosphere, manicured grounds, and sweeping views across the lake.

The rehearsal itself was relaxed and full of anticipation. Family members and friends gathered together, everyone beginning to settle into their roles for the wedding day while enjoying the beautiful setting. These moments may not appear on the formal wedding-day timeline, but they are often some of the memories couples and their families treasure most. That is one of the reasons I enjoy photographing an entire wedding weekend . The wedding day is obviously paramount, but there is an entire story happening around it that deserves to be photographed.

If you’re planning a wedding proposal in Charlotte and drawn to timeless storytelling — on digital or film—I’d love to help tell your story. With years of experience photographing rehearsals and weddings at Charlotte’s best country clubs, I’ll make sure your full story is told beautifully.

Charlotte Catholic Senior Photos

Candid pictures at McGill Rose Garden and Freedom Park for this Charlotte Catholic High School grad. After photographing her older sister’s senior photos, it was great to reconnect with the family again for another graduating senior. The best part of my job is getting to know clients and working with them on their events through the years.

We chose McGill Rose Garden and Freedom park as the locations on a quiet weekday evening in the spring. In May, we found oak leaf hydrangeas and roses in bloom with lots of green backgrounds. A great night.

Charlotte Catholic High School Senior

Casual senior photos at Freedom Park for this Charlotte Catholic High School graduate. My daughter was a high school senior last year, and I learned just how big a deal graduation is for a senior and their family. A senior portrait session, bringing along Mom or a good friend, is a great way to celebrate the milestone and capture a bit of the magic of this time in their lives.

So happy how these pictures turned out for this beautiful young lady, and wish her the best at college next year!
