If you thinking about an outdoor location for your wedding and need a fantastic venue then consider Van Landingham Estate. Van Landingham is a wonderful old estate off of Plaza road in central Charlotte that can accommodate a large wedding party for outdoor ceremonies. The main house can also house receptions as well if you would like to have the entire wedding take place their. The grounds have a waterfall, pond, flower gardens, and many other features that make it a great place for photography in particular. And of course the house itself makes an excellent backdrop for photography, as does the inside with it large staircase and sitting areas.
Greg & Paula were married at Van Landingham and I had the opportunity to photograph their wedding in the Spring. They had exceptional weather that day and the flowers were in full bloom! I love the natural colors in these shots, as well as the wonderful night shots of the grounds. Whats great about outdoor weddings is that I can move more freely (And still not be a distraction. In the ceremony close-ups, I was hiding behind some bushes shooting around them!) This wedding was a blast.
