@thekinsleeshopfarm is one of our most favorite venues to shoot at - just ask us why and we can give you a multitude of reasons! One of them being the vintage car couples can use for their grand exit (and a few portraits earlier in the day)!

🔥 400 WEDDINGS 🔥

What started as a side gig and a dream turned into a career I never could have imagined—and 400 amazing love stories later, we’re just getting started! 🤯💍📸

From wedding 1 to wedding 400 on the beautiful Outer Banks, I’m beyond grateful for every couple, friend, vendor, referral, and supporter who helped make this possible. ❤️

Were you part of the journey? How did you find us? Drop your story in the comments! 👇

And if you’re planning a wedding, engagement, or celebration—or know someone who is—send us a message! Let’s tell the next love story together. 🥂

Here’s to 400 “I do’s”… and counting! 🎉

We LOVE when a pre-ceremony, first look turns into bride and groom portraits around Uptown Charlotte. What a great way to get some fantastic shots in the city without missing any of your reception!

Who knew there was a massive, public sunflower field in downtown Monroe? We sure didn’t - and Keith grew up in Union County! Ashley and Josh picked the BEST location for their mid-summer engagement session!

We always tell our couples - “You can’t surprise us…we’ve seen it all over the years!” Apparently Alex took that as a challenge, because just a few days before his wedding to Brianna, he was bitten twice by a copperhead on his foot!!! He was an absolute trooper putting up with all the ins and outs of a typical wedding day, walking unassisted when he could and using a cane and wheeled scooter for extra help to relieve the load on his still-swollen foot. Pro tip for other photographers if you’re ever in this situation - use tall grass to hide the medical boot during couples portraits!!

We’ve waited 9 years to get back to @theivyplace to recreate one of our favorite shots of all time; under the most phenomenal tree with the most amazing sunset - the conditions were just perfect for @naomi__munoz01 and @asapjew to just live in the moment!

Thanks to the team at The Ivy Place for whisking us away from the reception to catch the setting sun!

Alyssa and Thomas opted to do a first-look with all formal portraits done before the ceremony. This allowed the couple to go straight from their ceremony to the cocktail hour and right into the reception without losing any of the “party time” for portraits!

I met Ashley over 12 years ago when I started teaching with her mom at Ardrey Kell High School! Since then I’ve photographed her senior portraits, prom pics, engagement photos, and her beautiful wedding on Lake Toxaway! (Oh, and she’s the only client that still calls me Mr. Marwitz no matter how much I protest 😂)
