Capturing the 'I do' moments, with wedding photographer Robert Burns II

Robert Burns II, a Charlotte-based wedding photographer who founded a new annual bridal publication, shares trends and tips for couples planning their big day

Today’s episode of The Charlotte Ledger Podcast is sponsored by SouthPark Community Partners, an independent nonprofit organization whose mission is to lead SouthPark's advancement by driving economic vitality, creating memorable experiences, and ensuring an extraordinary quality of life.


You might be surprised by how many brides still flip through the glossy pages of wedding magazines to gather inspiration for their big day, says Charlotte-based wedding photographer and videographer Robert Burns II.

But as with many types of publications, bridal magazines are increasingly moving to digital formats — swapping that satisfying page-turn with a swift click. Burns recently ventured into the world of digital publishing himself, with his new annual bridal publication, BRIDE Magazine.

With over 15 years of experience in photography and a decade specializing in weddings, Burns has seen big shifts in the bridal industry, from where couples are getting married to what they want out of photos and videos on the big day.

On this episode of The Charlotte Ledger Podcast, Burns talks with the Ledger’s Cristina Bolling about:

  • What inspired him to launch a digital magazine.

  • Wedding photography and video trends, from drone photos and video highlight reels to quick-turnaround images couples can share before their honeymoon.

  • Common mistakes couples make while planning for their big day.

  • The “hyper-personalization” trend of inserting small, meaningful details into weddings that reflect the couple.

We hope you enjoy the conversation with Robert Burns II.
