Recently we went up to New York City for Alyson and Alex’s engagement photography. They are an endearing couple with a great sense of humor so we were thrilled to experience our first NY engagement shoot with them. We stopped at the Brooklyn Bridge, Central Park, and Grand Central Station to name a few places. The big city was an exciting change of pace for us and Alyson and Alex couldn’t have been more of a delight to capture. They are getting married this fall in Asheville, NC – can’t wait!

Enjoy these photos of an awesome couple in one of the coolest cities ever.

Want to do a “destination” engagement shoot with us? We happily travel all over so get in touch with us today if you are interested!

We were reminiscing about Liz’s trash the dress photo shoot and how to convince more of you brides to do this. Hey, you can even involve your hubby! Keep in mind, trash the dress doesn’t necessarily mean “destroy” it. There are many themes or locations that will preserve your dress following the shoot. If your reservations for trashing your dress are because your daughter will wear it in 20-30 years… well… our guess is she’ll want a new one. While we never pressure brides into these shoots, we always let them know how enjoyable they are and how neat the photos will be years down the road.

What kind of trash the dress session would you do? Ocean? Under a waterfall? Horse Riding? We wanna hear your creative ideas!

Enjoy some of these images from Jacksonville Beach, FL. We did this shoot the day after Liz and John’s wedding. Crazy to think this was over 2 years ago!

It has been snowing in Asheville, NC and we got lucky enough to do some winter wonderland engagement photography with Holly and Chad. This charming couple traveled from Ohio to get some destination wedding planning done and do an engagement shoot with us at Biltmore Estate. From start to finish their endearing personalities inspired us and made our jobs easy. It was hard not to take a good photo of them and we loved how they were willing to be silly in front of the camera. As we walked to different shooting locations we chatted about their upcoming wedding at Cliffs at Glassy, how they met (cute story we are saving for their wedding blog post), and even puppies (Holly wants one). On these “e-sessions”, getting to know the couple before the wedding is just as valuable as the photography part.

Enjoy these photos! You’ll be seeing more of Holly and Chad this April.

The wind was brutal in this spot so they got down to escape it while we set up the shot. We had them stand up quickly for a few shots, but thought this candid moment was cuter.
