PalmerBuildingWedding_CarolineZach__0002.jpg
The girls were all smiles when we arrived to begin shooting Caroline and Zach's wedding day.  
It was mildly chilly, but for a late November wedding, the weather was near perfect.  Seeing as the ceremony start time was after sunset, I was SO glad when Caroline told me she and Zach wanted to do a first look.  This allowed us to have plenty of time to take advantage of photographing the two of them together in the gorgeous, soft light of late afternoon/early evening.  

Caroline and Zach are easy going, SO genuine and very much in love - it was an absolute joy to be a part of their day.  :)

CharlotteWeddingPhotographer_IzzyLaneEpics__0001.jpg
When Izzy and Lane told me via their engagement questionnaire that they like go antiquing together for fun, a lightbulb went on in my head.  After I mentioned shooting their session at an antique mall, she wrote back and told me that she literally squealed at the idea.  Jackpot!  

Geoff and I had a ball running around with them.  It was so fun to sift through the aisles looking for fun props to incorporate or a cool mirror to shoot into.  I absolutely love their style and I love their love for one another.  I wish they lived in Charlotte so we could be regular friends!  :)

CodeOrangeRevival_Baptisms__0001.jpg
Last night I had the privilege of shooting night #7 of the Code Orange Revival.  This time I was at our Matthews location, which was the location we baptized over 200 people.  Here  are a few of my favorites from the evening.

You can tune in to the Elevation Network tonight at 7pm for night #8!
Tamera Ford says:

These are great! We have been watching the revival. I can’t help but get all teary every time I watch the baptisms. The BW shot of the girl coming up out of the water is perfect. Love what God is doing!

(01.18.12 @ 02:44 PM)
MelissaJoy says:

These are great Cheyenne! I was at the Matthews campus last night as well and love how you captured the night. I've been following your blog for quite awhile now and am so thankful for photographers like you who I can learn and gain inspiration from.

Love your photos and love your heart!

(01.18.12 @ 04:29 PM)
Hayley says:

Awesome! I wish I had photographed last night! Dang. How appropriate with the rain & the baptisms. What is that in image one? Water droplets? Nice shot!

(01.18.12 @ 05:03 PM)
Cheyenne Schultz says:

Thanks, Hayley. :) The first shot is actually of the rain outside - I just shot into the light in the parking lot and cropped it.

xoxo.

You have a clever eye!

I respect your God given talent. The 4th picture is of me. I was wondering if it was ok for me to copy it or if you could send it to me so I could have it framed? Thank you for capturing that shot though!!!

(01.18.12 @ 11:27 PM)
Cheyenne Schultz says:

- It's 11:07am and I have yet to eat my breakfast (my weekday breakfast is a bowl of Cheerios - weekend breakfast is a whole other story that involves a lot of bacon).  

- Yesterday Geoff had the day off from work.  After seeing an instagram of sweet Stevie at Monkey Joe's, I couldn't wait to take Boone.  And let me tell you, this child LOVED it.  The first time we sent him down the big slide he had a look of sheer terror on his face.  But, once he was at the bottom, his big, toothy, dimpled smile came out and he couldn't wait to go down it again.  He is so cute I don't know what to do with myself!

- I am really looking forward to having our friends and fellow photographers Nancy and Will Ray stay with us for a couple days over this weekend.  I prepped Nancy for what their stay at our home will look like - it includes dog hair, a crazy almost-17-month-old running and shrieking (and sometimes STREAKING) around, a small futon for them to sleep on that is stashed in our office, and dog hair....a lot of dog hair.  

- Night #7 of Code Orange Revival is tonight - Pastor Perry Noble of Newspring Church (where I used to go when I lived as a South Carolinian for a year).  If you can't get yourself there, I highly recommend you watch online.  

- Somehow, my inbox made it to 50+ emails last week and I can't manage to get it below that.  Today, I'm going to try my best to hack through a good bit of it.  

- I just finished culling through the wedding we shot this past Saturday - our first wedding of twenty-twelve!  The shot below was taken on top of a parking garage.  The "before" image looks quite different from the finished one...20 minutes of photoshop on this guy and voila!  :)

And now, it's Cheerio time.  
Emily says:

How fun that Nancy and Will Ray will be coming to Charlotte for a visit! I just wanted to share that you and Nancy are two of my favorite bloggers to follow. Thanks so much for the constant inspiration to be a stonger Christian, stronger woman, and to discern my gifts and talents so that I might share them with others. Congrats on shooting another beautiful wedding!

Dan Lanning says:

Boone and Stevie need to have a play date at Monkey Joe's soon! I think we will be making that a weekly outing!

(01.17.12 @ 12:02 PM)
Cheyenne Schultz says:

dan - we were saying the same thing! it's so cheap too!

(01.17.12 @ 12:04 PM)
Julie Stepp says:

I WANNA SEE NANCY!

Tiffany Q. says:

I am so glad that I am not the only person who has to warn my guests about dog hair! It's a never ending battle at my house- I don't think I've had an outfit in the last almost 6 years that was accessorized with at least a lil' bit of dog hair! :)

(01.17.12 @ 08:58 PM)
Rhys says:

Hey Cheyenne, love your site! Your shots are so creative and professional, thanks so much for sharing them on here so regularly. I'm trying to grow more as a photographer here in New Zealand and it's a real inspiration seeing the kind of photos I'd love to take one day! Thanks again.
