A Trump National Charlotte Wedding

A Lake Norman Wedding at Trump National Golf Club Charlotte

As a Charlotte wedding photographer, there is something different about returning to a wedding venue after spending time with a couple there before their wedding day. I had already photographed Bekah and Alex's engagement photos, rehearsal dinner and welcome party, at Trump National Golf Club Charlotte. So on their wedding day, I was excited to photograph not only the couple, but also the families and friends I had come to know throughout their wedding journey.

Trump National Golf Club Charlotte is a private club on Lake Norman, and proved to be a stunning waterfront setting and beautiful backdrop for every part of the wedding celebration.

From the first look on a private Lake Norman pier to portraits along the shore, the lakeside ceremony, cocktail hour with parasols, and the spirited New Orleans-style parade to the Ballroom, every part of the day felt personal and full of energy.

It was an honor to photograph this celebration for Bekah and Alex and for the families and friends I had gotten to know along the way. Their wedding at Trump National Golf Club Charlotte was a beautiful reminder of why I love photographing weddings: the opportunity to document not just a single day, but the relationships, emotions, and moments that bring everyone together to celebrate something truly meaningful.

If you are planning a wedding at Trump National Golf Club Charlotte or anywhere on Lake Norman, I would love to photograph your celebration with a blend of timeless digital and film photography.

Waterfront Engagement at Trump National Charlotte

Waterfront Lake Norman engagement pictures at Trump National Golf Club Charlotte in Mooresville, NC. Some engagement sessions feel especially personal because they take place in locations that already hold so much meaning in a couple’s story. For this sweet pair, we photographed their engagement photos at two special places: the mother of the bride’s waterfront home on Lake Norman and Trump National, where they’ll be married later this year. As a PPA-trained Certified Professional Photographer specializing in weddings, my goal is faithfully telling couples’ stories in a way that feels honest and timeless. If you’re planning a wedding in Charlotte and drawn to artistic, timeless storytelling — on digital or film—I’d love to tell your story.

A Lake Norman Engagement

Lake Norman summer engagement session by Charlotte wedding photographer Michael Parks. Warm, tree-covered Jetton Park was the setting for Savannah and Michael’s engagement session. Her muted blue floral print dress and his cream polo, blue jeans, and oxfords popped off the greens and blue of this lakeside park. The iconic Lakefront Pavilion was the backdrop for several of these pictures.

Excited for their wedding next winter at The Long Room, near Uptown Charlotte, NC!
