A Castle of Romance and Dreams:

Castle McCulloch, with its rich history and captivating architecture, provided the perfect backdrop for Lidia and Llilbert’s fairy-tale wedding. The castle’s romantic allure echoed throughout the event, from the charming details to the design choices made by the bride and groom. The soft pink and ivory florals designed by Blossom Florist and Bakery, added softness amongst the Castle walls. Their vision of a timeless and elegant celebration was flawlessly translated into every aspect of the day. To carry out this vision they hired Perfect Peony Events. Carla was able to keep the day running smoothly and executed their plans flawlessly!

MORE ABOUT US

Hi! I'm Alisha!

I'm so excited you're here! 

In addition to being a lady-boss photographer, I am a wife, a mom, a teacher and a follower of Jesus. Those things are the center of everything about who I am, what I do, and how I do it. That means I believe in how important family is, whether you are just starting your own, or are celebrating all of those special milestones. Josh and I have been married for over 12 years and photographing weddings and families for over 10 of those years. Our style has evolved over time, but we love capturing images that are bright, colorful, and tell the most important story - yours!

When we are not shooting, I love going on adventures with our two beautiful girls, trying new recipes, or catching up on my favorite shows with my hubby.

MORE ABOUT US

Hi! I'm Josh!

I want to capture your day!

Having the opportunity to live in a town as beautiful as Kernersville, NC is great. Being able to be here with Alisha is even better. I've been married over twelve years to the love of my life and for most of that time we have worked closely as wedding photographers. Because of this, we have a unique outlook on the wedding experience. Having the opportunity to find the joy and love in that special day and share it with you and your family and friends is the best thing about what I do. That's why I never miss getting a photo of the groom's face when he sees his bride for the first time.

When I don't have a camera in my hands, I enjoy coffee dates and car-sushi with my bride, board games before bed, and binge watching Netflix.
