Engagement rings and wedding bands vary so much in unique design and style that I thought it would nice to collect all of my wedding ring photographs into one location. Below you’ll find some creative as well as beautiful photos. I hope some of them inspire you!

Wedding Save The Date Magnets and Thank You Cards

I just wanted to take a moment to share my appreciation to all of my clients that sent me Wedding Thank You Cards as well as Save The Date Magnets for 2010. The trust from you and your family and friends means a lot to me.

By about this time each year my wedding season is officially booked and I’ve had a chance to meet so many great people. Trust me when I say that January and February can get a little crazy since a lot of couples get engaged over the holidays. I think there’s also the realization for many people once January 1st hits that “We’re getting married this year!”

I look forward to seeing all of you soon and with these gentle reminders there’s no way I could ever forget! :)

These Save The Date Cards and Magnets have found a home in a prominent position and have become close friends.

Raleigh Convention Conference Center – Downtown Raleigh Alliance Meeting

The Downtown Raleigh Alliance recently held their annual meeting at the Raleigh Convention Center. The theme of the evening was decidedly “green” and drew over 500 attendees. I was asked to document the event in a photo journalistic style as well as photograph the presentation of two Achievement Awards and nine Imprint Awards.

At the end of the evening I was also honored to discover that several of my photographs were credited in their annual report. You can DOWNLOAD THE REPORT at this link if you would like to view it.

Live Music: Junk Music – Donald Knaack
AV Services: American Audio Video – Brian Clonaris.
Catering: Centerplate – Des Hague

At the beginning of the event Donald Knaack seemed to transport us to another world where recycled “junk” was given new life in the form of beat driven music.
