Charlotte Magazine Wedding Connection 10.10.10

2010-10-12T15:30:00.008-04:00

Charlotte Magazine hosted the Charlotte Wedding Connection here on October 10th. Around 200 Visitors came to check out the vendors and the fashion show. The pictures are from my Iphone. There were lots of gorgeous gowns and even some tuxedos.

Photographers, DJs, and cake decorators were just a few of the vendors represented.

Of course the Levine had a booth.

If you were able to come, I hope you enjoyed it. If you couldn't come, see you next time!

A "New" Idea for Photos

2009-12-17T14:18:00.004-05:00

Did you ever play dress up when you were a kid? Well It's never to late to feel like a kid again, with the love of your life standing by your side! At the Levine Musuem of the New South, you can take your wedding pictures inside our exhibit and make unique photographs that will last a lifetime. Inside the "Cotton Fields to Skyscrapers" exhibit, you can bring history to life by posing inside stores that were once occupied in the early nineteenth hundreds. You can play dress up in replica of the orginal Belk department store from the 1920's. Maybe kiss in the Good Samaritan Hospital Chapel built in 1888. Or relax and play checkers in an early 1900’s mill house. Or if you just want to act like a kid again, you can pose for a picture on the yellow school bus or sit in a living room with a black and white TV, that used bunny ears and see what life was like before DVD players and DVR! Today's brides want to have different, unique, one of a kind engagement or wedding photographs that make their special day stand out from the ordinary photographs people usually take. Make the Levine Museum of the New South, that unique, one of a kind memory that will bring laughs and stories to all who see your photos from your special day!
