As a long time resident of the Raleigh area, Brian’s background in visually diverse fields add a unique and timeless flavor to his photographical work. With training in cinematography and concert lighting, his eye for composition and an appreciation of dramatic lighting was permanently ingrained into his soul.

I was on the road again this weekend to capture Kimberly & Jason’s wedding celebration. I met them through another photographer, MPK Photography, as Kittie was unavailable on their wedding date. You may remember them from their engagement session I shot back in May. Both of them definitely had some pre-wedding jitters that turned into a wonderful moment when they first laid eyes on each other.
One of the days highlights was driving from the ceremony in their grandfathers baby blue 57 Chevy. It had been adorned with the appropriate “Just Married” placards and I’m sure drew some honks and applause as they made their way to the reception.
Surrounded by some 200 friends and family, the reception was definitely the party to be at (if you were invited). Here’s a few photos from the days events (and YES!!! another cask smash - can you tell I love these?)
UPDATE!!!
The new cart location is live! Please let me know if you experience any further problems.

Hi everyone,
What’s that saying… with great risk comes great rewards? I’d like to add “…and greater problems” to that as well. With the addition of my super slick, fuel-injected, turbo-charged photo cart, it appears I broke the internet. Well, my little slice of it anyway.
Some of you may have noticed the photos would stop loading and, sometimes, the entire site would be down. Well, these problems were directly related to my server being unable to handle the sheer amount of transactions needed and it would, in essence, take a break.
To remedy the problem, I have purchased a new domain & server that is dedicated to my photo cart. This should make your viewing (and hopefully purchasing) experience much more pleasant. I am waiting for my SSL certificate to be finalized before I make it live but that should happen within 24 hours.
As always, if you experience any difficulties with the new cart/server, please let me know immediately so I can look into it.
Thanks!
Brian Mullins
One of the things I really like about being a photographer is getting to know not only the Bride & Groom, but their families as well. Over the past several months, I have had the fortune to get to know not only the lucky couple, but their parents as well. So when the big day arrived this weekend, I really looked forward to seeing everyone again.
Amie & Holt were married at the Edenton Street Methodist Church in Raleigh, NC. This is a beautiful Church with wonderful architecture and humongous stained glass windows. OF course, photographically speaking, I love shooting in places like this as it affords so many opportunities to mix wedding photography with architectural and artistic stylings. A short limo ride later and we all arrived at the North Ridge Country Club for the reception. The last time I was here (which was some time ago) the ballroom we were in did not exist. So it was quite a nice surprise when I came in to see 9 beautiful chandeliers hanging up, a band on the permanent stage and decadent furnishings in every corner.
The band, the flabbergasters, played up a great mix of beach, rock and even rap to get the party started. Everyone really enjoyed their evening (and I have proof in the photographs) and it was my absolute pleasure to work with Amie, Holt and their families.
Now, on to a few photos:
That’s correct, Welcome NC. I hadn’t heard of it either until I met Katie & Nathan late last year. They both live in Greensboro but the church in Welcome, NC holds special significance for them. As I enjoy traveling, I was definitely excited about the trip and looked forward to this weekend.
Nathan & Katie are one of the sweetest couples I know. It had been a while since I saw them last and I’m sure Nathan got a good chuckle when I kept looking for him with no luck. Well, shaving the beard off didn’t help me out any either. 
They brought their own officiant into the church and it was a great sermon. Giving advice on keeping a healthy marriage (Go to bed at the same time, occasionally sacrifice your own desires for those of your partner, and hit the pub every once in a while to relax).
We had a great time working together and it’s sad I only post a few images of the day on my blog. There are so many more to choose from… well, with that being said, on to the photos!
