Carrie & Jeremy Doyle were married on October 20th 2007! And I think they were very happy all the planning and chaos is finally finished! The boys had a drink at the bar (pretending) to celebrate the occasion.Carrie and her father waited patiently for the ceremony to begin. Pretty shot I could not resist!So the weddign party was happy to take a seat for this photo. I think they are smiling extra

Parting is such sweet sorrow...Especially when it is me!So my 3 year stretch at TOC will be ending November 2nd. I am sorry to leave; but happy to try out some new career options. I am currently taking night classes to hone my art skills and from there the possibilities are endless! I mean what is life without taking some chances?

So here another another awesome example of one of our couples taking advantage of their lifetime portrait certificate!Introducing Courtnay, Jonathan and Goliath (doggie) Glass.Courtnay and Jonathan were married last October at the Hilton RTP and as you can see they are doing just fine. This cutie-patootie couple are still in the cuddly newlywed phase. Somehow I don't think they will be growing

Jon and Kristen Ferris were married on September 8th, 2007 at Sarah P Duke Gardens. Eventhough the weather was warm Jon and Kristen never let the heat get to them. I guess the photographers were sweating enough for everyone!Fun fact: During the ceremony Kristen and Jon choose "The Luckiest" by Ben Folds Five to be sang, which happens to be my husband's and I first dance song.

Megan are John are one of our couples from 2005! Actually they were married on Septemeber 24th at Highgrove. They of course had an awesome wedding and are still doing well!One of the fun things we like to give to our clients is a Life Time Portrait certificate. What that means is every year the happy couple is married they get a free photoshoot with us. So if you have puppies or babies it is an

Joey and Amy were married on September 15th at The Longview Poe House. As you can see it was an awesome day, I mean how can it not be? The newlyweds had their perma-grins on all day!Amy and Joey's private time just oozed with old time romance. Private time is an ideal way to break the pre-wedding nerves as well as get all your photos finshed before the ceremony! What time is it? Do we have

Hey Guys, So as you can see we have been very slack this past month. We have been so busy with weddings and photo shoots we just haven't had time to update the blog. I know, I know we have let you all down. We are sorry... but just because we love you we are going to give you a photo sampling of what has been happening at Touch of Color!

These guys are movers! This cute couple currently lives in California and are planning an NC wedding. After the wedding and honeymoon in Hawaii they plan on moving to Raleigh on a temporary basis... until they possibly move to Singapore. Whoa... see what I mean? This may be one of our busiest couples... by a mile! Hae Sook and Joe had spent a few months apart before the photoshoot so you can see

Amy and Joey are getting married on September 9th at Raleigh's Poe House. This happy couple currently live in Charlotte and are planning this wedding from afar. I cannot tell you how many of our couples are taking on the very same task... planning a wedding is tough enough, now just add in about 200 miles... whoo! As you can see Amy and Joey are so fun and very easy to photograph. I have a

Fire... lightening... our bad luck is frightening! We better knock... knock, knock on wood.Somehow I think this song was written just for us!If you haven't heard The Falls House was struck by lightening early last week. The bolt did not cause much damage to the building but our electronic equipment is another story. The bolt managed to take out our phones, email and our computers aren't too happy

Cameron and Jerielle have been planning this fairy tale wedding for 3 years now... but as you can see the wedding was worth the wait. We start this fairy tale with beautiful story with great weather and our own version of the modern day castle. Barclay Villa is nothing less than magical. A little glance into Cameron and Jerielle's secret moments... you can't fake passion like this.The shade of

Now introducing (drum roll)... Jennifer and KJ!These two crazy kids are currently living in California so I feel very lucky that we could be worked into their hectic schedule. Like so many of our couples Jennifer and KJ are planning a wedding from afar. I mean if you think planning a wedding is difficult, try doing from 2,000 miles away... stressful! Jennifer seems to be handling it all with

Lindsey & Chris TurnauWhat can I say about Lindsey and Chris? Let's see... they are awesome! Their wedding in downtown Raleigh went wonderfully! I also have to admit that for June in the South the weather was perfect as well! They could not have asked for a better day.The fun part about a wedding downtown is getting to shoot admist really cool architecture. The capitol area offers some really fun

Melissa.Today is Melissa's last day working full-time with us at Touch of Color. After two years as a full-time photographer with us, Melissa will be returning to school this fall to try to finish her degree. She will still be shooting as a contract photographer with us, but she will not be here in the office every day anymore, much to Ashley's dismay. Melissa and Ashley shared an office, dance

I met Jennifer & Justin almost a year ago and liked them from the first second. They are very much in love and have been together for almost five years. Jen's been playing this wedding while working and finishing her last year at UNC-Chapel Hill. (Not all Tarheels are bad news, I guess. Just kidding!) They were finally married in Durham at First Presbyterian, with a reception at Croasdaile

Brooke & Justin are such a cute couple! They chose Touch of Color thanks to the lovely recommendation of a former bride. It was really funny, because when they arrived for their engagement session last fall, I immediately recognized Brooke as one of my husband's former roommates-- and that had nothing to do with why they chose us, just a funny coincidence! They were married on June 16, 2007 at

Britt and Ryan were married on June 16, 2007 at North Raleigh United Methodist Church and the reception was immediately following at Britt's family home. Their wedding day was absolutely beautiful! The details were breathtaking. Britt and Ryan have been together for ten years! Sweethearts through school and different colleges, their love was truly meant to be! The couple will return to New York

The Cunninghams are so in love... and they only have about two weeks together until he is deployed again. They have only been married for 8 months. Perhaps that is why these shots are so touching.

We love being able to photograph a bride and groom and then have them come back with their pets, and then their babies!!! Steve & Amanda were married in June 2005 at the Forrest Theatre and now they brought in their little four month old daughter, Samantha! This little one takes after Daddy- she's going to be tall!

Most of our referrals come from word-of-mouth. Lindsey and Chris are a great example of that. Two summers ago I photographed Lindsey's sister's wedding in Chapel Hill. If Lindsey is as much fun as Molly was I know it is going to be awesome! Lindsey and Chris are very ready for the big day, which isn't too far away. This engagement shoot at Meredith College was so fun and mellow. They are

Our token mascot (other than Miss Mona, of course) is a delightful, flirtacious little man named Will! Known to stop by just to visit with the Touch of Color girls, this smiley guy just turned 1! So we took his picture to celebrate! If you drive by the studio, there is a giant photo in the window of Will at 6 months old and there are some of the whole family in our hallway gallery like this one.

April 21, 2007. Karen and Jimmy had a beautiful, heartfelt wedding with an evening reception at the Doubletree in RTP. The sunset was amazing over the pond as their band played Latin beats in honor of Karen's heritage...April 21, 2007. Mike and Jen had a sunset outdoor ceremony at Meredith College in the amphitheater and then spent the evening celebrating with friends--it was definitely a party!

Our first Studio Saturday since the Grand Re-Opening was a blast! I got to start the day off shooting Keisha & Durban's engagement session. They were only in town from New York for the weekend and I am so glad they stopped by to hang out with me! They are so funny! I am looking forward to their wedding in September!Next I assisted Patty on a few shoots of hers: including two former wedding

As many of you know, our winter season got off to a roaring start with a fire on December 7th, 2006. The electrical fire started in our studio, thankfully while we were all here. We lost our studio and suffered damage to our offices, but not one of us was injured. It took a while to rebuild, but our studio is finally finished!! We are excited to get back to shooting here-- and in our fabulously

Take his picture, of course!While in South America a few months ago, I snapped more than just flying dogs. We went to Rio de Janeiro for a few days: Corcovado, Ipanema, Copa Cabana, etc. Then we spent a week in Buenos Aires. We loved it! Anytime you get the chance to visit Rio-- do it! And in B.A. eat at Los Lilos. Listed as the only restaurant in the world that's worth the airfare to eat there.

Casey & Randy had a beautiful wedding on an old farm, Rose Hill Plantation in Nashville, North Carolina on March 24. Jeff & Jennifer also got married on March 24 and couldn't have had a more beautiful day. Both couples chose to experience what we call "Private Time", that is, before the wedding we set aside a few minutes when the two can be together, when they can see each other in peace and

I love to shoot engagement sessions. Love it. Recently I photographed Wendi & Dean here at our studio- they'd actually been the winners of our Free Engagement Session from the Wedding Show in January. Wendi & Dean will be getting married in Wilmington on May 5th. I also was able to shoot Megan & Patrick at Duke last Friday. Megan & Patrick met at Duke University, and they're getting married at

This past weekend was a traveling weekend... both Ashley and Melissa decided to take advantage of a weekend off before the busy wedding season and hit some of our nations highlights. Ashley went to New York City... and had a blast!
