What do romantic proposals, The Biltmore Estate, and amazing fall weather have in common? Matthew and Bess of course! 2 weekends ago we got be a part of the fun and all the feels! Having contacted us a few weeks prior to this special day, we could tell Matthew was so excited to get down on one knee and ask Bess to spend the rest of her life with him! Matthew wanted a spot at The Biltmore that was just right and after sending him some locations, he decided that the secret g

It seems waterfall proposals are getting pretty popular as of late and we’re totally cool with that! During winter, many of the popular waterfall and mountain locations that we have all grown to love, tend to slow down when it comes to foot traffic. As photographers in this area, we’re blessed with the opportunity to take our clients to beautiful places regularly but during certain seasons it can get pretty crowded. Sometimes to the point where we don’t even recommend some

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

For anyone whose never been to The Montford rooftop bar, allow me to describe it. Long range mountain views high above downtown Asheville perfect for watching the sunsets and a sleek interior with at least half of the space having large nearly seamless windows allowing you to enjoy these views from the comfort of inside on a cold or windy day. On top of this the food is delicious and the staff is super helpful and accommodating which you will soon hear why! Even though we t

It is one of the most prominent luxury resorts in this region and offers many amenities from golfing and fine dining, to the relaxation of their spas and just enjoying a cocktail on their sunset terrace which overlooks downtown and the surrounding Blue Ridge Mountains. It’s a perfect place to celebrate, and for new beginnings. This blog is the story of both as you’ll soo

For those who follow us a lot, it’s no surprise, we do a lot of surprise proposals at The Biltmore Estate. It really is one of the most beautiful settings to get down on one knee and ask someone to spend the rest of their lives with you! From the house itself, to the long range mountain views, as well as the colorful gardens, you’re hard pressed to find a better all around location in the area. We love the rush that comes with every proposal and one of our most memorable fr

When it comes to most of our proposals we capture, the communications start taking place weeks and sometimes months in advance! For us, it’s one of the most exciting (if not the) most exciting thing we get to capture. For the couple, there is this moment of “Oh my God!?” “Yes!” and all the nerves that build up to it. And of course, everybody always wants to know afterwards, did she say yes? How did he plan it all out? How did you not give it away? So it’s even exciting

A couple of weekends ago, we got what may have very well been our last snow of the season, although I could’ve just jinxed it! Ask anyone around the Asheville area about this winter and you’re likely to hear the word “weird” thrown in at some point. We have literally had Tuesday be sunny and 70 followed by a Wednesdays of overcast 20s! We heard this particular Saturday would be accompanied by some snow flurries at night. As we packed our cameras to head to The Biltmore an
