IP Wedding: Stiles-Lovelace [06.26.10]

Okay.... we admit we're a little behind on keeping you updated! We just returned from our summer vacation (July 5th - 9th), so now we're playing catch up. You'll accept our apology after you see these fabulous wedding images... promise!

On Saturday, June 26th, Christine Stiles and Nick Lovelace were married at Saint James Lutheran Church in downtown Concord, NC. The exterior of this old stone church is PERFECT for photography... and having a gorgeous couple to photograph helped too!

This image has a lot of significance to Christine's family. They have the same image of Christine's great-grandparents exiting the front of St. James Lutheran after their ceremony many years ago. Our job was to duplicate it! This is a wonderful tradition to continue...

The wedding party was so much fun! They rode a trolley from the church to the reception and Karen rode with them. She photographed some great candids of everyone preparing to celebrate at the Cabarrus Country Club!

Chelish Moore Flowers worked her magic once again. The flowers were a gorgeous colorful mixture to add a splash of color since the ladies wore black. And the country club looks amazing! Paper lanterns hung outside the entrance and accented the dance floor. It was gorgeous!

Shortly after the wedding, we received a thank you card from Nancy (Christine's mom).

"Dear Karen, Renda, and Jessica,

Words cannot express my heartfelt appreciation for you all. The calm and efficiency in which you perform your job is truly a gift. Christine, Nick, and I fell so great about your contribution to their special day. We thank you so much for all your many efforts and for helping us along the way.

Look forward to the finished product!

Sincerly,

Nancy Faggart

P.S. Jessica, Christine would not have survived the last 12 minutes to 'countdown' without you. You saved her day!! Thank you!"

Although it will not compare to what KA Studios captured on their special day, we put together a short video of some favorites from the day. Take a peek on our facebook page or on our IP Weddings YouTube channel.

You can see all of Christine and Nick's wedding day images online on July 31st. You can view and order the images online through August 28th. To access their images, go to our website. Click weddings, then client images. Enter lovelace (all lowercase) as your password. Enjoy!

Irresistible Portraits: Benbow-Cisowski Wedding [06.12.10]

Mary Benbow and Ted Cisowski married Saturday, June 12th, 2010, at First Presbyterian Church in downtown Concord, NC. Karen, Renda, and Jessica were there to capture all the details of their big day.

First Presbyterian Church is one of the most beautiful churches in this area and it's music to IP's ears when a bride mentions holding their ceremony there! Not only is the exterior of the church gorgeous with archways and a courtyard, but next door is a gorgeous building where the girls get ready.

Ted is a major in the marines, so we had the pleasure of working with men in uniform all day! They were a great group of guys to work with. We want to thank all the men and women who serve this country!

They had a grand exit after the ceremony. "Kiss to Pass!"

Their reception was held at the Embassy Suites Concord. This is a beautiful venue... then again Chelish Moore Flowers can make anything beautiful with her talent!

We were blessed to work with some very established vendors during Mary and Ted's wedding day. KA Studios documented their day and Kim McIlwaine (of The Bride's Choice) directored the event.

We've posted a "sneak peek" album on our Irresistible Portrait's facebook fan page.

The Cisowskis' wedding images will be posted online on Saturday, July 17th and will be available to view and order until Saturday, August 14th. You can access those through the Irresistible Portraits website. Click on weddings, then client images. Enter cisowski (all lowercase) as your password. Enjoy!

KA Studios Cinematography

At our last two weddings, we've had the priviledge of working with two very talented videographers, Keith and Amie, from KA Studios Cinematography. This is definitely not your average videography!

Check out some of their work on their website and blog!

Keith and Amie are a such a nice couple and their creativity is evident! We can't wait to see the finished DVDs!

Trexler-Frick Wedding

Sara Trexler and Nathan Frick were married last Saturday, October 18th, in Salisbury. Nathan is the brother of Aubrey, the bride from our recent Ocean Isle wedding. We've also photographed Sara's sister Lillie and her family over the years - starting with their wedding and now their family of four! So it was a pleasure to photograph this wedding!

Here's a sneak peek at their images.



























We couldn't imagine having more fun at a wedding! This group was so easy to work with... and it helps that they're all beautiful!

We'll update you when all their images are posted online. We also have some info on their cinematographer... who's great! Stay tuned.

Mr. & Mrs. Frick,
Thanks for letting us be a part of your special day. We enjoyed every minute of it! We wish you a lifetime of happiness together!
Sincerely, Karen, Renda & Tara
