Leigh | Raleigh, NC Bridal Portraits

We’ve been spending a lot of time in the Cardinal Club lately. Luckily we have amazing people to spend that time with, like Leigh. She was worried she was being high maintenance, but we assured her that she was far from it. We had an awesome time with Leigh and her Maid of Honor, Katie. Her bridal session started in the Cardinal Club, where her wedding reception was held, and then we moved to downtown Raleigh. Both her and her dress photograph exceptionally well. Keep an eye out for Leigh & Evan’s wedding on the blog in the coming weeks!

Janene | Raleigh, NC Bridal Portraits

Wow! Janene’s bridal session at the Cardinal Club in downtown Raleigh, NC will not be one we forget anytime soon. We met there at 4:00pm on April 16th. If you remember, that is the time we had some of the worst tornado’s North Carolina has seen in decades. We only had a limited time to shoot, as a wedding would be arriving at 5:30 for their reception. As we started, Sarah noticed the chandelier in the Cardinal Club (28th floor of the Wachovia building) was swaying pretty far. We kept shooting anyway and noticed how bad the visibility dropped outside the window we were shooting in front of. About 10 minutes into the shoot the intercom system came on and telling everyone to move to the center of the building because of the Tornado that was coming through. We were then escorted to the freight elevator room and waited the storm out. The Cardinal Club even fed us dessert as we waited! We didn’t know if  we would be able to continue the shoot but, the tornados delayed the wedding party giving us much more time for her session. Keep an eye out for Janene and Tremaine’s wedding pictures very soon!!!
