Raleigh wedding photography + Christmas themed engagement session complete with lights + A fun Topsail Island photo shoot + Bridal Portraits taken at Barclay Villa

Wedding photography by photographer Sally Siko.

Clients like these are why it rocks to be a wedding photographer here in the Raleigh area…

My clients J & V wanted to have several photo sessions scheduled to span the past 12 months in their busy lives covered in a way that reflected the deep affection that they have for one another. Photos in this series would be would be capped off by a gorgeous Christmas time wedding at years end.

I was more then happy to accommodate special shooting location requests that ranged from the coast to central NC.

Now that the year is over I have filled more then a portfolios worth of stellar images for J & V, and just as importantly I have gained two great friends.

We first met at Harris Lake Park for a Christmas themed engagement session complete with tiny lights.

As a bonus they brought their bicycles ( J. is a pro cyclist) for a fun a mildly scary ( despite a last min. “jump out of the way at the last sec” moment, I did not get hit, lol!) photo session.

I love the light of the winter sun as it sets here in North Carolina. Its just a perfect blend of platinum and gold tones that make my job easier.

After a few months we met up again on Topsail Island NC for a fun couples beach photo shoot in the town of Surf City  that included the best man and maid of honor.

Again we were blessed with near perfect shooting conditions under the bright silver glow of an overcast sky.

By October it was time to head out to Erwin NC’s Barclay Villa. An amazing venue!! It is literally a modern day castle that offers a ton of great back drop locations for bridal portrait photography.

Before we knew it December arrived and now it the big day had arrived. It was was WEDDING time!

I spent Dec. 15th, 2012 as V’s shadow snapping pictures from the early morning at the hair salon until late into the night for the wedding reception at the Regency Banquet Center in Dunn, NC.

The new couple brought me to a few locations that were important to them to have the formal couples portraits taken. The groom’s grandparents old house and his family’s firehouse were a lovely backdrop for these photographs.

Thank you J & V for every second we spent together this past year. I have enjoyed capturing every pixel and I hope that you have too!
