Kerry Buck is a youth pastor at Temple Babtist Church in New Bern North Carolina. His bride, Angela Carl, a daughter of a minister from Ohio. They are both blessed with the gift of beautiful voices, a strong faith and by the love they share. It was truely a joy to share their wedding day. Very, very rarely do I tear up during a wedding. After all, it’s kind of a “day at the office” for me. But when Angela and Kerry sang to each other during their ceremony… well I certainly had a few tears appear in my eyes. Such beautiful voices, full of love for each other. The dress was provided by the Intimate Bridal of New Bern. Friends and family helped with much of the rest. Congratulation Angela & Kerry. Thank you so much for sharing your day.

We’re moving into a new studio location. Look for us at 226 Chatham Street in Newport, NC. It’s going to take a bit of scrubing, sprucing and decorating before we’re up to full speed, but there’s no reason we can’t work in a few sessions along the way. The operation will be by appointment only. You can phone 252-726-5799 to schedule a session. I’ll get some photos up of the new studio in the near future.
