We like to put our photojournalistic shooting style into overdrive when we shoot weddings, and this one was no exception. Sarah and Bill had a Biltmore Estate wedding at the Lioncrest venue and there were so many wonderful moments. Part of what’s so intriguing about documenting weddings is photographing the anticipation and build-up before the ceremony. Not only is this great for the bride and groom to look back on, but it helps fill in the narrative of the whole day.

The ceremony was officiated by Sarah’s father which was very special, and there were lots of emotional ceremony photos to be taken. The children guests were particularly adorable at this wedding and might want to look into a career as “hilarious wedding dancers”.

The talented Blush by Wendy was the makeup artist, Lola did her hair, and we got to work once more with Asheville Event Co (planners). And of course we have to mention Bloom Room and their beautiful floral arrangements! It’s worth checking out the bridal shoot we did with Sarah a few months ago. She looks so elegant and relaxed in these and on her wedding day. Not to mention, everyone at the wedding was so unbelievably nice to us all day. This always makes us jump for joy (not literally. Or maybe?) at the thought of being wedding photographers.

Michael popped the question to Emily at the Biltmore Estate in Asheville. For this proposal we didn’t do the “espionage” approach and hide in a tree far away to document it. Emily just thought they were having some professional photos done (maybe for a Christmas card?). After a few photos Michael got the ring box from his pocket, got down on one knee and asked her to marry him. Success! After that we did some engagement photos with them around the Biltmore. A beautiful sunset ended the evening and either Michael knew this day would be gorgeous to propose on, or Two Ring Studios has good mojo and a colorful sunset is included when you book us ;)

Rachel and Jonathan contacted us last year about doing a one year wedding anniversary session in Asheville. They own a petsitting business in North Carolina, so as animal lovers they automatically get brownie points with us :)

A couple weeks before this shoot Rachel and Jonathan found out they were expecting. Yay! So even though you can’t tell by the pictures, their child was at this shoot!

We started at the NC Arboretum and then went to the Biltmore Estate for some more ‘casual dress’ shots. Thanks to Blush by Wendy for doing Rachel’s makeup!
