Charlotte Wedding Photographer II Chicago Wedding Photograper

recording session with seth snider

January 20, 2012

Today I was listening to my good friends album that he recorded last fall to help fund his ministry work in Australia. I had the privilege to shoot one of his recording sessions for the CD last fall, below are some of the images from that session…it was great to be part of that day!

I met Seth a little over 3 1/2 years ago and we have since become very good friends. He has an inspiring spirit living in him, not to mention he is a gifted photographer, surfer, and musician to name just a few of his other talents.

If you get a chance, check out his premier cd he published in 2011 called The Presence of Freedom….its awesome, its only $7, but most importantly you will help Seth fund his ministry work in Australia. Here is a link to his blog were you can learn more about him and his ministry, Seth has a heart to serve God and walked away willingly from comfortable life in Charlotte to go serve others…..WOW, could you do this if asked too?! Anyway, check his CD and you will hear his heart in the music.

Pam and I miss you Seth, but we know you are doing what God put on your heart to do and we are with you in spirit and prayer….we look forward to when your return to Charlotte.

FAITH + FRIENDS + FAMILY + FUNNNNNN! = MATTHEW & ERICA’S WEDDING

January 8, 2012

It was an unusually warm, 58 degree day on December 17th in Concord NC when I got to be part of a truly fun wedding. When Matthew and Erica told me to be prepared for a “crazy fun” wedding at our initial meeting, I just had no idea how much effort they would put into following through with their plans. But equally important to them, they asked a dear friend of theirs to officiate the wedding as Matthew had the privilege of participating in mission work in Mexico with his friend. It was a beautiful ceremony, packed with many of Matthew’s and Erica’s dear family and friends. My wife Pam and Matthew worked together for many years together with Matthew shooting video and Pam producing projects for NBC, so it was especially fun for me to have her attend the wedding as well.

Matthew Dillner - I think it is rare when a married couple feels truly BLESSED that they had a certain photographer shoot their wedding. Robert, your work is amazing and the value goes much further than the finished product. You’re an amazing person. Creatively and relationally (is that a word?) I couldn’t imagine a better person to photograph our wedding. We can’t thank you enough.

cassie + matthew :: engagement session photos

September 16, 2011

Had a great time with Cassie and Matthew on their engagement shoot on Lake Norman in Cornelius a couple of weeks ago. The night before we had a pretty heavy rainfall. It soak the ground and messed up the streets quite a bit. The next morning for our shoot, even though the ground was wet, Cassie and Matthew were all in. They were relaxed and didn’t let the cloudy weather spoil our day of shooting.

Cassie and Matthew shared with me some details of the wedding they are planning for next year and I can’t wait to be part of their day….they are going to rock Charlotte!

erica + matthew :: engagement session photos

April 28, 2011

It was an awesome day for my first engagement shoot since my own wedding about five weeks ago. Erica & Matthew both had some ideas about the the photo shoot locations they wanted for their engagement shoot. They wanted to have fun and that is exactly what we had together.

One place Matthew really wanted to shoot at has great sentimental value to him, he calls it his Wrigley Field. NASCAR fans would call it Bowman Gray Stadium located in Winston-Salem, NC. You could smell the history at this place. Here are just a few of the photos we took that day. .

I hope you enjoy the photos as much as we had together creating them and if you do, join as a fan on my Facebook page so you can get updated as to when the rest of the images get posted.

Matthew and Erica - Robert… thanks so much for your creativity and most of all your hard work and passion for your craft. It was clear your work means so much to you. At the same time, we REALLY had fun on the shoot. That is a win-win! Thanks again. – Matthew and Erica.

jim’s big 80th b-day bash!

February 11, 2011

I had the privilege, last week, to photograph a really well loved man, husband, father, grandfather and respected friend to many here in Charlotte. On that day Jim’s wife Susan -she rocks- threw him an awesome 80th birthday bash. Jim Austin is a tall man that is not easily missed when he enters a room. Aside from his strong physical presence, Jim has a very distinctive voice, which he has used professionally for radio/tv…..literally. As a matter of fact, if you are a fan of NASCAR history, Jim was the voice of NASCAR’s founder, Bill France Sr. in his Hall of Fame Biography on SPEED.
