Our first emails consisted of talking about how important it was for Kylie to find a photographer who believes in the meaningfulness of marriage. Having come from a background working with couples preparing and strengthening their relationships, I knew we would be a perfect fit for one another. Getting to know my couples on a personal (and emotional) basis before the wedding day is really really important to me. All of my wedding packages come with a complimentary engagement session for a few different reasons. Not only is it awesome having images to remember such a special time in your lives, … but it’s a way for us to connect and capture the natural and intimate moments of couples just being them. It’s also a chance for me to get a glimpse into how each couple expresses their love … which honestly is unique to every single person and such a treat to photograph. It helps in capturing the wedding day story that much more, I’m not just a “stranger” with a camera, but a friend. Instead of trying to put all my thoughts about love into words (which, I’ve found I have SO many feelings it’s hard to put them into cohesive sentences lol), I express these feelings into my photographs. Which to me is the perfect kind of explanation. The way each couple holds hands, snuggles, interacts…. it’s all their own. Kylie & Thomas share a quiet and soulful connection, which was beautiful to photograph. We met up in Hendersonville, NC and ended the session at The Cabin Ridge, which sits atop a mountain with breathtaking views. I could never ever get tired of photographing in the mountains. Enjoy a look into some of my favorites from our time together xo
