Mountain top proposal in Boone, North Carolina

Liza and David had a session with me up at the top of a gorgeous hike located in Boone, North Carolina. After hiking up and beginning the photos I knew this was going to be a session I never wanted to forget!

All week the weather was not looking promising. With a 95% chance of rain and thunderstorms, we thought we were going to have to reschedule. We decided to hold out and embrace whatever weather was thrown our way. If you are from Boone, or have visited before, you should know that the weather is almost always changing… and sure enough the rain cleared! There were rain showers that morning, but the sky began to clear mid day and we were thrilled with the luck that we had!

As the photos started and the sun began to set, it was time to get Liza and David in the perfect spot for the proposal. David had reached out prior to the shoot and explained how he was going to propose to Liza. We worked up a plan for how it should happen and we made sure Liza had no idea. The photos turned out to be some of my all time favorites.

As soon as the proposal was finished, the weather took a turn for the worse. The wind picked up and the temperature dropped. That, on top of Liza being so in awe of what just happened, preparing for the next set of photos was difficult. We decided to set up an engagement session for another time once the newly engaged couple had some time to themselves and the weather warmed up a bit…. so stay tuned for that!

Fall engagement in Winston-Salem, North Carolina

What could be greater than the fall season you ask?

Shooting an engagement session during peak fall leaves and in my favorite location! Yup, that’s right!! This session was one of my favorites. shooting in one of my favorite locations, Reynolda village, plus working with some pretty amazing people!

Mac and Charlotte had just gotten engaged a few weeks prior to their engagement session with me. This session was full of special locations and lots of fall foliage. We took a fun little trip around Winston-Salem, we started at Wake forest University and ended in the middle of downtown Winston!

These Wake Forest University graduates keep that part of their lives close to their hearts! We started the night at Wait chapel on Wake Forest’s campus. The stunning chapel mixed with the setting sun was just what we needed to kick off the session.

After Wake, we made our way to Reynolda Village. A short drive to the new location and we were ready for this next round of photos. Reynolda offers so much for engagement shoots. Whether you plan your session for in the gardens or in the outskirts and walking trails, I can guarantee you will not be disappointed. My favorite part of this shoot was the fall leaves during our time at Reynolda.

and finally after Reynolda, we made our way to downtown Winston to work some city views into this engagement session.
