We shot Parker’s bridal portraits last week at Duke Gardens. It was a beautiful afternoon and there was a student event, more like a party, happening on the lawn. Not sure who the band was, but it was like we were photographing to Dave Mathews LIVE! Parker will be one of our beautiful 2008 brides with a big wedding planned for late May at The Hudson Manor.
This year is flying by and the spring ”Southern Bridal Show & Expo” was another fabulous event. We had a great show this past weekend and are looking forward to the future events we are booking thanks to the show. We appreciate all of you who stopped by our booth and spent time visiting with us discussing your photography needs. The 2008 season is going to be busy, to say the least, and 2009 bookings are off to a great start with several dates already on the books. It’s never too early to book your wedding, so don’t hesitate to contact us and let The IMAGE MILL show you why we are YOUR photography studio!
Thanks to Dominick, Laura and all the incredible people with “Forever Bridal” for ALWAYS creating such a wonderful environment to bring the brides and vendors together. We ALL win thanks to you guys!
Casey will be one of our beautiful May brides and we shot her bridal session a few days ago on the campus of UNC Chapel Hill. She’s a UNC Chapel Hill graduate so shooting her portraits on the grounds meant a lot to her. We had a beautiful day for the session and she had a great time being the “star” on campus for a few hours. Deciding which one to frame for her wedding day is proving tough, as she likes them all! Here are a few of our favorites.
Bridal Season is in full swing. We spent a couple of hours at Duke Gardens the other day, my home away from home, and captured lots of nice shots with one of our upcoming June brides. Amanda is planning a big wedding at The Wagner House and we can’t wait! Thanks again to her mother for being such BIG help to us both!
I’ll try to start posting some of my favorite shots from time to time.
Last weekend we were in the mountains of North Carolina and celebrated my grandmother’s 90th Birthday. She looks younger every year!
I got this shot of an old general store just before dark one evening near their home. I wished there had been snow around it. We missed 5″ by 3 days! So much for the sledding shots!!
We’ve been very busy meeting new couples and booking weddings since “The Wedding Show”, but I’m finally making time to put up a few new images from a recent wedding. We SO enjoyed being with Grace and Patrick and all their family & friends on their BIG day just before the New Year. They had an intimate church evening ceremony and then a big bash at the DoubleTree Guest Suites in Durham.
Thanks guys for choosing The IMAGE MILL to capture all those wonderful moments. And for sharing some cake! :c )
Wow, what a great weekend. “The Wedding Show” 2008 has come and gone. It’s always a LOT of hard work, but a ton of fun. We met hundreds of brides & grooms to be and lots of wonderful people all enjoying the biggest bridal show of the year. At last count more than 1,300+ attended. Forever Bridal puts on an incredible show from start to finish and we’re thrilled to be part of it each year.

What could’ve been a show stopping moment happened RIGHT next to our booth when some of the gorgeous display of the “Fresh Affairs” booth came crashing down. Glass went flying and water was flowing everywhere, I think I saw a canoe at one point, when someone picked up and sat down a large glass vase a little too hard. The Forever Bridal staff was on it within seconds and the show never missed a beat. The Fresh Affairs folks regrouped and within minutes had things rolling along again.
Thanks to Amy and Tara, could not have done it without your help ladies, and to everyone who we met for taking the time to come by and see us. One last BIG thanks again to Forever Bridal. We can’t wait until the next show!
