On October 10, 2010, Ryan Tallant & Piper Wood were married and Lady Red Images was there to capture the memories! The wedding ceremony took place in the couples backyard with their closest friends and family there to watch! The weather was beautiful and sunny, such a perfect day to get married! The bride and groom both wore white and were a stunning site to see. It's refreshing to see two beautiful people who are perfectly in love! Paper cranes, made by the bridesmaids, hung over the wedding ceremony, as the bride made her way to her future husband. The wedding reception took place in The River Room in Downtown, Wilmington over looking the Cape Fear River as the sun was setting. This wedding was such a wonderful experience and we're glad to annouce that this was the first large wedding for Lady Red Images and we couldn't think of a better couple to share this experience with. The couple is currently honeymooning in Mexico and we're so excited for them both & wish them a lifetime of happiness & new adventures as husband and wife! Congrats Ryan & Piper, or should I say, Mr. & Mrs. Tallant! As always, to view these images in larger size, or to view more similar photos please visit my Flickr account.
Jessica and I have been talking about doing a photoshoot for month's now but between Jessica's work schedule and my school schedule, we were finding it difficult to find a day were both available. Lucky for us, this past Monday turned out to be absolutely beautiful and a day that we were both free! We'd like to take a chance and thank the MAC cosmetic department in Independence Mall here in Wilmington, NC for their help with Jessica's amazing make up! I'm quite proud of these shots- Jessica was a fantastic model, the location was perfect, and her make up was flawless!

Chris has been one of my best friends since high school- well, let me rephrase that- since we both graduated highschool! Despite our rocky start at a friendship, we both became the best of friends after my graduation in 2004, and although he no longer lives in Wilmington, we're still very close and are sure to make plans whenever he's here to visit. This past weekend Chris wanted some updated pictures of himself, so we jumped in the car, found a railroad & start snapping away! Well if you live in Wilmington, you know just how bad the summer days can get here, so we quickly left the heat and headed for downtown. We ended the day sitting in the shade with a cool breeze and had a relaxing picnic in a park near by!

Karen has been a great friend of mine since we were both in middle school, but it wasn't until high school that she became more a best friend. We made sure to keep in touch after high school and whenever Karen met Labi & fell in love she asked me to photograph her wedding. At the time photography had a huge interest in me but I wasn't taking it seriously or does as much research and learning as I should. However, when she asked I jumped at the opportunity & borrowed a 35mm camera from my step mother and stepped in as the photographer for Karen & Labi's wedding. The ceremony featured her closest friends and family and the two had a small wedding at Wrightsville Beach, NC by the lagoon where Karen had grown up. Long story short, its Karen & Labi who my biggest inspiration to take my dreams off hold & learn as much about the art as I could! Years later, here I am with Lady Red Images where I learn more & more everyday & truly love what I do! This past Sunday I met with Karen & Labi again for a "just because" photoshoot in Downtown Wilmington, NC as well as on the beach.

Nichole is a good friend of mine whom I met while working at a local animal hospital here in Wilmington. Although upon my leaving, Nichole and I made sure to stay in touch and we quickly became close friends. Luckily, not only is Nichole a great person, she loves the camera just as much as I do! I jokingly call her my "Photo Taking Soulmate". We often try to get together when we can and take our cameras out to random locations around town and see what we can get into. Today we decided to meet in downtown Wilmington and walk around. We ended the day getting stuck in the dirt trying to find a railroad, which quickly became an adventure, but we started off downtown at the library parking deck to get some random shots of the city, and for an impromptu photoshoot of Nichole!As always, to view these images in larger size, or to view more similar photos please visit my Flickr account.
