Asheville Mountain Engagement

Engaged couple sitting on black balsam knob mountaintop engagement asheville nc engagement

Being a Greenville wedding photographer, only an hour from the mountains, means that portrait sessions can easily take place in the city or in the rugged outdoors. Asheville mountain engagement sessions are always fun, and of course, what better time to shoot than in fall!

Every season has its perks (except winter...bleh), but there's just something about fall that I love extra. Maybe it's the fact that it finally cools down after we've suffered 4 months of summer, or maybe it's the frenzied rush I feel as the leaves start to change, knowing that there are only a couple of weeks of peak fall color to enjoy. Regardless, I get super excited when my couples want to head into the mountains for a little trekking and a LOT of gorgeous color! Last week, Jenny and Daniel met me in the Pisgah National Forest for a session that will go down as being one of my absolute favorites.

We really lucked out, and the weather was perfect for sweaters and lots of cuddling. On the hike up to Black Balsam Knob, you first go through a dense forest of pine trees, and I could not resist the stunning light streaming through the branches in the late afternoon! The rest of our Asheville mountain engagement session had more direct, intense light, and I have to admit that I honestly love both.

This light right here 👆🏻is what makes heading out of town for a session totally worth it.

As the sun set, the colors surrounding us changed every time we turned around, which made the hike back down just as exciting as the hike up.

Needless to say, you're never going to hear a complaint from me about heading a little ways out of town for an epic engagement session like this. 😉

And with that, spring wedding season is a wrap! Th And with that, spring wedding season is a wrap! The number of times I had to hold my face because my cheeks hurt from laughing is more than I can count; Haley & Logan are such a sweet couple, with a really amazing love story. Even greater than their story is the love of everyone around them! What a fantastic wedding with some amazing families and - of course - a great vendor team!
“Simplicity is the keynote of all true elegance. “Simplicity is the keynote of all true elegance.” - Coco Chanel 

I would love to hear your own opinion on this quote. It perfectly captures the dilemma of wanting to express oneself through fashion, yet sometimes also feeling most comfortable in understated, classic styles. I personally have vascillated between wanting to be the most print-tastic, colorful woman in the world to feeling best in a wardrobe of blacks and neutrals, with understated jewelry. I believe that our sense of style can go through phases and evolve with time. 

That's why, when you first inquire with me, I send you a short questionnaire to get a sense of your range of styles. This helps both of us to be on the same page for all of your sessions - whether it's engagements, bridals, or of course, the wedding day. I'm here to help you capture your unique essence and style in the most authentic and beautiful way possible.
Magical wedding day portraits don’t just happen. Magical wedding day portraits don’t just happen. It’s my job to craft these magical moments — to give you a short, intentional pause that allows you to take a deep breath together, escaping the whirlwind of thoughts and external chaos. These are the moments where your love shines brightest, when we will work together to paint a picture of the most connected and blissful moments from your wedding day.

In the time leading up to your wedding, make sure you’re collaborating with your planner and me to build this time in seamlessly. We love to prioritize this time, because we all have the same goal: an amazing wedding day celebrating your love, with timeless photos that transport you back to those feelings a million times over.
Your wedding day details should represent your sto Your wedding day details should represent your story and your wedding day, but it’s not always easy to curate them as perfectly as Macy and @alexandramadisonweddings did here! Make sure to ask your photographer for input on which details should be photographed, even if you purchase a few items that exist only for these photos (wax seals and unique ring boxes, anyone). I can’t even put into words how much I love photographing these crucial storytelling items.
