This Sunday, March 14, Green Rice Gallery will open it's doors to...brides! Yes, that's right. This local hot spot in the center of NoDa, Charlotte, is now offering intimate wedding ceremonies. To celebrate, they're throwing a party! Millie Holloman Photography will be there with a booth and to photograph the event. You will also see a florist, caterer, DJ and other local Charlotte wedding vendors. Each vendor will create lavish displays to showcase their products displayed throughout the gallery as if our guests were attending an actual wedding! We welcome our guests to taste different flavors of cake, see a variety of floral arrangements, get to know her photographer, and pick her gown as she mingles with other brides to be.
The open house is from 12-3, so come by and say hello! |
| Wouldn't this be a fun and creative backdrop for a wedding? I love it! |
| Meet Carla, the owner at Green Rice Gallery. She is the young, spunky entrepreneur who has spear-headed this entire event. I can tell you from experience that she is fantastic to work with. The gallery itself is stunning and perfect for a young, artistic style wedding ceremony. Stop by and see us this Sunday! |

| Sarah's bridals are some of my favorite to date. When I heard that her wedding had a burlesque feel I knew we had to do something new and different for her bridals. I've been waiting to share there with you so I'm glad I finally can. Sarah & Shawn were married this past weekend so it's now safe to put them on the world wide web! We worked out a special location for this session, the first images was displayed at the reception for the guests to see! |
| Once we finished shooting inside, Sarah wanted to head downtown for a few shots so we could display a bridal at the City Club during the Cocktail hour. The images were taken at and around the City Club! |
| This is the bridal that was printed on canvas and displayed during the cocktail hour... I love this shot of Sarah, just beautiful! |

| It took about three attempts for me to get over to little Pela's house for this fun family session. We had some scheduling conflicts and some sick days but in the end I'm glad it all finally worked out and it was worth the wait. Meet Pela, she is happy, adorable and a very attentive little love bug. She's just great and she's got fabulous and super sweet parents too so she's bound be a cool kid! |
| Pela came quite early and she's super tiny... you might remember the maternity session we did just a few short days before she was born almost a full month early! |
| I LOVE Pela's little smile in this shot. She's so happy being cuddled by her two favorite people! |
| Right at the end we were pushing our luck but Momma's got the magic touch and was able to settle her back down for a few more shots. |
| I'm sure Dave loved me when I inquired about his tattoos... a little questioning goes a long way and I LOVE how these next several shots turned out! Thanks Dave! |
| Thanks to this happy little family for such a blissful session and congrats to you both on a beautiful baby! Life is good! |

Things have been just nuts over here at MHP but in a good way of course! We have been super busy working on some big projects which we'll be bringing to WPPI this year in just a little over one week!
I've been so busy locking myself into the studio to meet deadlines that I realized today we haven't even blogged about all of the wonderful people who have been kind enough to feature MHP on their blogs both last week and this week. So here it is, a little accumulation of post on some amazing wedding blogs with interviews from our beloved couples. Read these posts in full and you'll know more about their big day and all the planning that went into it than you ever bargained for!
Heather & Orin's wedding was photographed on Bald Head Island, NC by Brent & Amanda. Weddings Unveiled features this quaint and detailed filled wedding which was by Kim Fisher Designs. |
| Wedding Unveiled also featured Carla & Don's wedding just this morning! It was photographed by Rachel right here in Wilmington, NC. The design and florals here are by Salt Harbor Designs. Be sure to read about Carla's crisis on her wedding day and how she took it all in stride and maintained her composure, it's worth reading! |
| If you missed the Vintage Citrus storyboard coming to life on the Snippet & Ink blog then go check it out now. Be sure to review Part 1 & Part 2. In this post you'll see how we took a story board and created a shoot to take through to the design of the event. A special thanks to The Balcony On Dock & Salt Harbor Designs for making this shoot a reality! This event was photographed by Millie & Amanda. Special thanks to Brent for the video footage which you have not seen yet and we hope to use soon! |

If you follow me on twitter, there is no doubt you've seen me tweeting about giving tents to Haiti. Just a couple of weeks ago I was thinking of a way I could personally give to Haiti that would affect someone's life in an immediate way. Sure I could text to Red Cross or give to another relief organization and I did. I wanted to do more though, I wanted to do something that I knew the impact of immediately. I wanted to know that my attempts were making someone's life better.
I was incredibly moved by the devastation there and when I heard that the rains were coming and people didn't even have shelter, my heart sank! The thought of me being able to provide tents to families there (even if it was only one or two) made me want to do something. So I acted, I immediately headed over to purchase tents and sent them straight to the people collecting them and getting them to Haiti quickly!
As soon as I did this I still felt like I could do more... if I could use the influence I have (however small that might be) to help others to realize this amazing opportunity to provide a temporary home to a family for $100 or less then maybe my reach could spread a little further. More people could sleep in a dry place every night. Together we can make life easier for these people by providing something as small as a tent, that's it!
Here are the basic facts:
What: Used or New Waterproof Tents
Wilmington Drop Off info: Drop off tents at Port City Java's main office: 2101 Market Street (8am-5pm, M-F)
If ordering online and shipping: go here!
When: ASAP - the rains start soon!
You can also read some articles about the need for tents here:
A Home in Haiti, MSNBC, BBC, & Yahoo
So I urge you, if your heart is moved by this post then visit our local Port City Java on Market St. to drop off a tent OR order one online right now! |
