The majesty of the Blue Ridge Mountains captivate a lot of people and these two are no exception. Jess and Mike are both transplants that found their way to the High Country—and haven’t wanted to leave—like so many other folks in this region that permanently relocate. This is where they’ve been building their lives together […]

They love to write and sing silly songs, they go for hikes in the mountains, they absolutely love to eat good food and drink good libations, and on their wedding day in Creston, NC, Katelyn and Seth managed to encapsulate the spirit of what makes their 9 year relationship so enduring and playful. While Seth […]

The sound of fire truck sirens echoed nearby as Leslie and Nick’s ceremony was just getting started. Any other couple might be annoyed at the blaring interruption, but they both laughed it off and made a joke because they weren’t going to let something silly ruin a perfectly beautiful day. Their short and sweet ceremony […]

“Want me to check my doppler radar?” one of the groomsmen offered. “Oh, yes, please!” responded the concerned bride. According to the weather map, it looked like the rain was supposed to pass in the next 15-minutes, but it was tough to know for sure. If you live in the mountains the unpredictable weather is […]

Just one day after Dennis proposed, I received an email from Kim inquiring about engagement photos. They wanted to go back to the spot where he popped the question and was wondering if Linville Falls was a place I would consider going. I eagerly emailed her back with a response and told her how much […]

Leah and Chuck were looking for a low-stress wedding day experience. They wanted to keep it simple with a small, intimate ceremony instead of taking on the overwhelming task of planning a big destination wedding from far away. Eloping was an idea the couple explored and they chose an all-inclusive elopement package that the Banner […]

By the time Casey contacted me I was already booked on their anniversary date. I was photographing a wedding that weekend, but because their schedule was flexible we were going to shoot for a session on the day after on Sunday. While I knew I’d be worn out after 16+ hours of wedding photography two […]
