Well, it's official and the word is out. Raleigh Wedding Cars is here and ready to roll! In fact, this past weekend was the official launch at the 2010 Bridal Expo being held Saturday and Sunday at the fairgrounds in Raleigh. The whole thing started with the thought that it would be really cool to be able to photograph our clients not only in beautiful places, but also with really awesome classic cars that reflect their personal style. A few months ago, we happened to be at a wedding in Wilmington and heard that our bride Jennifer had searched high and low for a classic Rolls Royce that could drive her and her Groom Patrick around town for the day. She finally found one that would travel from another town a few hours away. The car was beautiful, classic, and since it was black, made for a fantastic backdrop against her white dress. The other thing I liked was that it looked different from the 1950s style Rolls Royce you see so often at weddings. It looked more modern, but still very classic. I found out later that day that the car was for sale and by the following Monday we had bought it. It's funny how things fall into place sometimes, because a week later, just after I wrapped up a meeting with a local wedding planner I got an email from our friend Joe. It said "Hey, I hear we need to talk, do you have a new project cooking?" It turns out that Joe was in the process of doing the exact same thing but with a very different type of car. Next thing we know we are dreaming up a company that will be supplying the Triangle with the coolest cars available for weddings. There's something for the regal and something for the rock 'n roll crowd. Check out www.raleighweddingcars.com to see what we've been up to.
So before anyone wonders or asks, the answer is no. No, I won't be personally driving the cars on wedding days, no, we won't be offering cars in our photo packages, and no, this will not take any of our attention away from our photography. We have a dedicated manager and she will be running things for us. One fun thing though is that now we have some super cool props for *E* sessions! We plan to add another car by summer and are currently shopping. Do you have a type of car you would like to see at weddings? Give us a shout and we'll give it some thought.
The Rolls is a 1969 Silver Shadow. The image below is from Jennifer and Patrick's wedding day, just three days before RWC was born!
