    Hawksbill Adventure Engagement: J + J

    You know how you have those days and situations where no matter what happens, everything seems to fall into place just right? Our friends Jess and Josh certainly do! They recently had their adventure engagement up at Hawksbill and despite mother nature’s best efforts to thwart that from happening, and maybe a little incident known on social media as “ring gate 2019” #ringgate2019, everything worked out perfectly! Jess and Josh were visiting from out of town to explore the

    Duke Gardens Engagement Photos: C + W

    We recently traveled to Raleigh again this year but instead of shooting a wedding like usual, we had the opportunity to shoot Colleen and Will’s engagement session at Duke Gardens! We first discovered this beautiful location via instagram and once we started traveling a lot and we knew it was only a matter of time until we would get to visit! Enter Colleen and Will! We met with Colleen’s mom a couple of months back as she was helping her plan her wedding from a far here in

    Savannah Engagement: Martine + Maurice

    God has an interesting and sometimes mysterious way of bringing us together. This story is a perfect example of that. Martine is from the Bahamas, her fiance Maurice lives in Georgia, and we live in Asheville. Somehow the stars aligned for us to meet these two beautiful souls and the journey has been quite amazing so far! We were first contacted by Martine earlier this year in March when she inquired about our availability for her wedding in October. Now anyone whose fol

    Brewery Engagement Photos

    If you’ve been on social media at all the in past couple years, you’ve probably noticed a fun trend that seems to be growing with popularity. I’m not talking about the circle game, I’m talking about having your engagement session at a brewery! More and more couples are opting to capture their engagement photos at local craft breweries. Being in the unique position that we are as wedding and engagement photographers who also happen to live in an area that is known for it’s

    Blue Ridge Parkway Engagement Photos: Courtney & Alex

    One of our favorite things about doing what we do in the Asheville area is the fact that it seems to attract like minded couples! One of those couples we recently had the pleasure of working with was Alex & Courtney! We will be shooting their wedding later this year, but as life often does, it can get in the way of things, like engagement photos! We hadn’t nailed down a date for their engagement session, and after getting to meet them and get to know them a little better w

    Biltmore Proposal: John + Brittany

    If you were on facebook at all recently you may have seen one of the absolute cutest couples ever, John and Brittany! John contacted us about a month prior to his surprise proposal to Brittany. He was going to be traveling from Connecticut to the Charlotte, NC area to visit family and while they were in town they were going to take a little day trip to The Biltmore! Little did Brittany know, John was going to be getting down on one knee during this special visit! With all

    What do I wear for my engagement photos?

    With this warm spring weather finally upon us, flowers now in bloom at The Biltmore, and sunsets that aren’t right at 5 o’clock, it can only mean one thing….your engagement photos are probably right around the corner! We are blessed to be shooting year round, but many of the awesome couples we work with schedule their engagement sessions during the spring! This is the perfect time of year, especially if you’re trying to get save the dates out before the fall or early next y

    Hollis Garden Engagement: Georgia + Jason

    It’s funny how the world works out sometimes! Just prior to our most recent trip to Florida to visit with friends and family, we received an inquiry from Georgia and Jason for their Lake Lure Wedding in October of this year! It was a date we just happened to have open (gotta love Friday weddings!) and as we discussed what would best fit their vision, they knew they wanted engagement photos, but they weren’t sure if we were going to be able to capture that for them due to th

    Black Balsam Engagement Photos

    When we moved to Asheville nearly 3 years ago, we had already visited the area at least a dozen times for extended vacations! We had taken mountain bike rides in Bent Creek, Dupont, and Pisgah. We took the long and scenic routes by trying to utilize the Blue Ridge Parkway whenever possible and of course every time we’d visit we’d discover a new spot and say to ourselves, “man it really doesn’t get much better than this!” The only thing was each time we were on vacation so

    Craggy Gardens Engagement: Ellyn + Alex

    So something awesome happened back in early October, it was Alex & Ellyn's engagement session up at Craggy Gardens! True to it's usual style Craggy's weather was looking a little iffy heading into the date we scheduled for their engagement photos, but with a little patience and the ability to rely on amazing teammates when one of us is not available, we were able to make this happen for this super cute couple! One thing we loved leading up to Alex & Ellyn's engagement was we
