A Fun Outdoor Wedding at Oskar Blue’s REEB Ranch | Brevard NC Wedding Photographers

REEB Ranch Wedding in Brevard NC pintopinterest

Cathie and Tod had a casual outdoorsy wedding at Oskar Blue’s REEB Ranch in beautiful Brevard NC! These two (along with most of the guests in attendance) are pretty serious mountain bikers and outdoor enthusiasts so hosting their wedding at this bike + adventure friendly wedding venue meant that everyone got to enjoy themselves a good deal even before the wedding portion of the celebration started!

I knew from our initial meeting at Charlotte’s National Whitewater Center that Cathie and Tod would be a dream to work with and their wedding would be right up our alley! From the get go we were chatting excitedly back and forth about possible outdoorsy engagement session ideas… We settled on Blowing Rock and the Blue Ridge Parkway as a good place to meet in the spring for their session. Incase you missed my original blog post here is a link to their fun and adventurous blowing rock engagement session

Cathy meticulously bent copper wire into these beautiful miniature bike’s as part of their table top decorations… They were awesome!

The day started off a bit rainy but ended with beautiful sunny skies and dancing under the stars!

The biggest thing I noticed and loved about Cathy is that she was always smiling… Sometimes I find myself needing to remind our brides to sit back, relax and smile… Cathy had no problems remembering to be in the moment and enjoy her day!

This is quite possibly my favorite image of Cathy from her wedding day!

REEB Ranch has this beautiful set of waterfalls tucked up a dirt road behind the reception barn. Its a few minutes walk but well worth adventuring back there!! We were excited when Cathy and Tod suggested heading up their for some portraits!

I love the images above of Cathy + Tod, they are very at ease together and have a tendency to laugh a lot… This makes for some cute moments!

One of the younger wedding guests treated us to some tunes… She was adorable!

Rather than having a sparkler send off… Cathy and Tod had their guests gather around them with sparklers for a special dance. This worked great and led to some pretty images!

A huge congratulations to Cathy + Tod! We had a blast capturing your day!!!

Kasey + Gryffin | Tryon Equine Photographer | Lifestyle Portraits on the Farm

What a fun time I had with these two cuties – the bond they’ve developed over the years is undeniable! Most who know me well know that I grew up riding horses here in Western NC. It’s been fun to combine two of my big passions – photography and horses – for some recent equine sessions! For this session I traveled up the mountain to Hendersonville where Blackberry Stables is located and there I photographed a few different girls with their adorable 4-legged partners!

Gryffin was such a good boy… I’d even go as far as saying that he enjoyed being in front of the camera!

This is one of my favorites from the day!

How cute are these two?!

A Mountaintop Proposal in Black Mountain | Asheville Adventure Wedding Photographers

You guys, I had SO much fun capturing this amazing mountaintop proposal! Admittedly it was a bit of an adventure before everything came together perfectly for these two. Matt had to be so very patient because mother nature had other ideas in her head and her own timeline in mind.

You see, when Matt originally contacted me the plan was for him to propose at sunset on top of beautiful Max Patch. The weather forecast was a bit iffy for that evening but we texted back and forth and decided to take a chance. As I hit the road the weather looked a bit more promising, we had sunshine and even a few beautiful puffy clouds. I was excited… This was all going to come together simply perfectly for Matt and Sarah! As I got exited I-40 and made the turn north into the mountains the sky opened up… I mean, serious torrential downpour. I quickly pulled off the road and texted Matt an update. He and Sarah had just hit the road and we decided to continue with the plan in the hopes the storm would blow on through. The further I drove up the long windy dirt road the worse the weather got. I made it up to the parking lot and jumped out of the car…. Rain, wind… I waited a few minutes, hoping for some sign that the weather might decide to cooperate. No such luck. We opted to come up with a Plan B…

To make a long story short, mother nature didn’t exactly cooperate with Plan B either… Sunrise up at Craggy Garden’s was gusty, foggy and rainy. We decided to touch base after breakfast and I got to searching for a place close to Asheville with a beautiful mountain view. I found Lookout Mountain in beautiful Black Mountain. It was a short hike up to a craggy top with gorgeous mountain views. It sounded perfect! The sun was out and finally things were coming together for Matt to pop the question!

I hiked up about a 1/2 hour ahead of Sarah and Matt so I could get into place inconspicuously before they arrived! This also gave me time to shoot a few scene setting images!

The view from the top of Lookout Mountain was gorgeous!

When Sarah and Matt first arrived there were quite a few people lingering on the summit.. Eventually though they had a quiet few moments and…

The image above and the one below are two of my favorites from the day! How cute are they?!

Sarah admiring her beautiful ring!!

On the way back down the trail we took our time and stopped to take some photo’s of these two enjoying the day! I love how joyful these two are!

Love the one of Sarah above! Also… Notice the matching footwear… Chaco’s forever! Yup, adorable!

Western NC’s rhododendron tunnel’s never get old!

Isn’t Sarah’s ring gorgeous?! I certainly think it is!!

Congratulations to Sarah and Matt on their engagement! We can’t wait to document their winter wedding in Greenville SC at gorgeous Twigs Tempietto

Baby Gryffin | Tryon NC Lifestyle Newborn + Family Photographer

This little dude is soooo cute! I was lucky enough to photograph Gryffin about a month after he was born. For newborn sessions I always like to travel to your home and this session was no different. I got to shoot very close to where we live in beautiful Tryon, NC, since Gryffin and his mommy and daddy live right down the road from us!

We specialize in lifestyle newborn photography. While we always get a few posed pictures of baby with mom + dad we really love the more candid moments that happen in the home.

Look at those beautiful blue eyes!

Love the one above of baby Gryffin’s hands intertwined with his mom and dad’s.

Just a month old and he’s already trying to smile for the camera…. So cute!

Window light makes for the best light… You can go dramatic and get a nice dark background when positioning your subject close to the window.

A little skeptical of the huge camera pointed at his face!

Don’t they make a beautiful family?! I think so!

Little baby feet!

NC Arboretum Engagement Session | Sarah + Chris | Asheville Engagement Photographer

Sarah and Chris are getting married this fall at The Farm – a Gathering Place just outside of Asheville and we can’t wait to be a part of their wedding day! I met these two for their engagement session at the beautiful NC Arboretum and we explored some of the awesome locations the arboretum has for pictures.

The thing I love about the arboretum is that no matter how busy it is there is always a background you can choose that doesn’t have a million people photo bombing the couple!

Sarah is going to be a beautiful bride! I’ve always been envious of curly-haired people and she has the most beautiful naturally curly hair!

You may have to work a little harder to find an angle without other people in the background but it forces me to think out of the box composition-wise, instead of simply putting the couple right in the center of the frame every time!

Look at these two… They seriously rocked their session!

One of my favorites!

These two are absolutely adorable together! I can’t wait to see them when they say “I do” – it’s going to be a beautiful day!
