It’s been a few years ago that Tony, my husband, and Brandon met.  They are in a Bluegrass Band together and have even been in a short film together and I swear if we lived closer I would never see my husband SO needless to say we are good friends with this couple.  It was an honor to get to document this special time in their lives and great to get to hang out with them for a weekend since Jess and I don’t get to see each other as often as the boys do (and meet their new addition, the cutest puppy you have EVER seen!). I am so excited for their wedding, it is going to be amazing and I know that they are going to be happily in love for MANY years to come!!

It’s pictures like this next one that make what I do totally worth it.  It may not be “perfect” but is it THEM in the moment and I LOVE it!!

I have been about to die to do a session at Biltmore. When Lesley asked if it was okay that we did them there I was so excited! This is where they got engaged at.  They took me to the spot and we walked the gorgeous grounds (you are not allowed to shoot inside the house) to so amazing spots.  Here is just a peek of what we got that day!

Elizabeth did an amazing job decorating for this gorgeous wedding.  I must say that I have never been in a ceremony quite so unique (not really planned that way but special all the same) I can promise I will never forget this wedding! I did their Engagement pictures earlier this year in the spring and then they had their gorgeous fall wedding.  I love when we are able to get different seasons for engagement session and the wedding!

ONE of the amazing gifts that she got him… game used ball cufflinks

Love this moment right after the kiss!

When Ariel booked the wedding she told me that it might be hard to get the engagement session doesn’t know when we gets to come home for a visit until right before.  She called me and told me that he was coming in and wondered could I work them in (this was during one of my busiest weeks of the year!) I of course could not tell her no!! We scheduled it and then it came the day of and it was raining, and rained all day.  We rescheduled it for a couple days later (he was leaving that evening) but it was a gorgeous day.  They took me to the location the wedding will be at I know it is going to be gorgeous (and I was glad to hear that the mountain they took me up will actually have a road the day of the wedding! )

I met up with this couple one of their family friends land, and to start off she apparently had given me the wrong address and then my GPS and printed Google directions were taking me to the wrong place (not to mention I had very limited cell service!).  20 mins later I finally got there but it was totally worth it the land was gorgeous.  We had a great session and she had so really cute ideas and had sent me links before the session.  I can’t wait for the wedding!
