Kristen + Nick | Chapel Hill, NC

Thursday, August 19th, 2010

Kristen and Nick are such great people. They are very down to earth and so easy to work with. Their wedding day was a great day for celebration and was lead by the great Erin McLean of Erin McLean Events. They even made sure to have a candy bar (pregnant Sarah loved that!) with a wide assortment of sweet treats. All that candy gave everyone the sugar rush they needed to keep dance floor rockin’ where the awesome Ben Suggs of Southern Entertainment made sure everyone had an amazing time.

Congrats Kristen and Nick!

Sonia & Ray! | Rocky Mount, NC

Friday, August 6th, 2010

Sarah and I really enjoyed working with Sonia and Ray when we did their engagement photos and were very excited for their wedding day. There is no doubt, they were made for each other! Their ceremony was held at the Showers of Blessing Christian Center in Rocky Mount, NC and their reception at the Wilson Country Club in Wilson, NC. Sonia and Ray have such a happy group of family and friends. Being able to photograph this time of joy in their life was truly an honor. Congrats you guys!

Testimonial Awesomeness

Thursday, July 29th, 2010

Last year Sarah and I photographed Justin and Miranda Reich’s wedding. Justin is an extremely talented artist and runs The Antimatter Studio. We were truly humbled by their choice to use us as their photographers. Their testimonial below speaks for itself!…

2N3 6725 Edit Testimonial Awesomeness


“I am a professional photographer and designer so my standards are extremely high and I truly think that 90% of all wedding photographers in North Carolina are absolute garbage with rates & ego’s that will make your head spin. 2&3 are in that other 10% and are at the very top of the list. They are humble, affordable, and deliver amazing work. Photography is the most important part of a wedding because seriously, when you’re 90 years old and can’t tell the difference between your colgate and preparation H until it’s too late, at least you will have the ability to reflect on if Uncle Jimmy really ripped his pants during the electric slide, and it will be covered from EVERY angle. So in closing, if you don’t use 2&3, Don’t get married. Trust me, you’ll be doing yourself a favor.”

Luke & Lauren’s Wedding! | Mooresville, NC

Sunday, July 25th, 2010

Lauren and Luke’s wedding day was amazing. They have such a loving set of family and friends that were a pleasure to work for and share time with. Some of the first group pictures we took were in downtown Mooresville with the groomsmen, where we rushed before the rain hit. Once it hit, they were trapped downtown while it poured. Luke’s many brothers kept things interesting virtually the entire time, you never knew what was going to happen or what you would see. The ceremony was held at Williamson’s Chapel in Mooresville, North Carolina. The church was absolutely stunning with wonderful stained glass windows and high ceilings. Once the ceremony and pictures concluded, we headed over to the Charles Mack Citizen Center where the talented Ben Suggs of Southern Entertainment kept the party going with his silky smooth beats. As you can see from the dance pictures, they were a fun crowd to photograph and celebrate with.

Congrats Lauren and Luke! It was an honor for us to photograph your wedding day!

Emily & Jason’s Wedding! | Raleigh, NC

Sunday, July 18th, 2010

Sarah and I were in awe of Emily and Jason’s wedding day. The location for the ceremony ad reception were absolutely stunning. Their Ceremony was held at All Saints Chapel in Raleigh, North Carolina. It has a wonderful rustic and down to earth feel and made for a very photographic location. We couldn’t have asked for better lighting inside a small church. The reception was held at the North Carolina Museum of History where the talented folks of Sounds Good Entertainment kept everyone moving to the music. The museum was open and airy making for a fun and lively evening where it was easy to get people to visit the Photo Booth. As usual Sarah had a blast with the guests!

Congrats Emily and Jason! It was an honor for Sarah and I to be a part of your beautiful day!

Lauren & Brad’s Wedding! | Raleigh, NC

Thursday, July 15th, 2010

Lauren and Brad are such a fun couple. They have a great energy and are awesome in front of the camera. We had the honor of photographing their beautiful wedding at Bay Leaf Baptist Church in Raleigh, North Carolina. Lauren’s morning started out at Astra Studio where the talented Stacie Snipes took care of the Bride and Bridesmaid’s hair for the day. Her flowers were done by A Ming Rose Florist in Raleigh, NC. Everything was well thought out and planned. We had more time than usual for group pictures, which was nice for a change. We finished up well in advance and didn’t have to rush for the start of the ceremony. The ceremony was full of their family and friends who also filled the reception, held at Sisters’ Garden and Catering in Raleigh, NC. The North Tower Band kept everyone celebrating all night with their high energy performances and Sarah kept guests coming through the Photo Booth for a little fun.

We were proud to have had the opportunity to document their wedding day. Congrats Lauren & Brad!

Kshitij & Caroline’s Carolina Theater Wedding! | Greensboro, NC

Thursday, July 8th, 2010

Kshitij and Caroline had a stunning wedding at the Carolina Theater in Greensboro, NC. Awhile back, they invited Sarah and I to check out the location and ever since we’ve been excited to shoot there with Kshitij and Caroline.

This was definitely a night to remember. Not only was the location amazing, but Kshitij and Caroline, their family, and their friends were a blast to work with. With all the weddings we’ve seen, we’ve never seen a reception so packed with dancing and celebration as this one. Ben Suggs of Southern Entertainment kept the beats going for all to party to, which helped Kshitij and Caroline get their money’s worth out of Sarah and I. We photographed the dance floor like never before! They were an amazing group to celebrate with and it was truly a beautiful evening.

Mark & Kelly’s Wedding Reception

Sunday, June 27th, 2010

Mark and Kelly gave Sarah and I the opportunity to photograph their beautiful wedding reception at Kelly’s parent’s house located at the Colonial Country Club. Like Sarah and I, Mark and Kelly are avid photography lovers and know how to work the camera. They were super easy to work with and a lot of fun, even in the North Carolina summer heat and humidity. The evening was kept simple with close family and friends which made for a very relaxed and fun evening. We were glad to have had the opportunity to photograph their reception. It was a wonderful event with lots of love and admiration towards a beautiful and exciting new married couple! Congrats Mark and Kelly!

Tim & Stephanie’s Beach Wedding

Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010

We first met Tim & Stephanie while we were attending Wingate University. They graciously hired us to photograph their on-the-beach ceremony at Surfside Beach, South Carolina and then the reception at The Holiday Inn – Oceanfront. It was a beautifully intimate ceremony with select friends and family on a gorgeous sunny day. There’s something about a groom in flip-flops and a barefoot bride… they just seem more relaxed. Although, Tim had good reason to be relaxed. Stephanie looked amazing and couldn’t have been happier marrying the man she loves. They make a beautiful couple!

Sarah and I had a great time, even through the heat and sand! Thanks again Tim and Stephanie!

H.O. & Virginia’s Wedding | Raleigh, NC

Wednesday, May 19th, 2010

What an amazing day! H.O. and Virginia planned a beautiful outdoor wedding at the River Ridge Golf Club in Raleigh, NC. Sarah and I enjoyed ourselves, as their wedding photographers, with their equally amazing friends and family. Their wedding started the month of May off as a HOT one! H.O. was smart enough to have a white tuxedo helping him stay cool, which coincidentally made for a squinty eyed bride and groom due to the bright afternoon sun. You couldn’t avoid the location, sky, colors, people, and of course H.O. and Virginia, which made the perfect mix for a beautiful ceremony. They had the largest wedding party Sarah and I have ever worked with and made for quite the enthusiastic group. We won’t forget them anytime soon!

After the ceremony we took a few formals and then the talented DJ Bill Freeman kicked off the party. We couldn’t have had a more enjoyable time. H.O. and Virginia are an amazing couple with a truly loving family and fantastic set of friends. As usual, all of the friends and family thoroughly enjoyed the Photo Booth. Sarah even got in on the action showing off her baby belly. But after all the fun was over, the remaining guests sent H.O. and Virginia on their way to a beautiful life together.
