Lisette | Bridal Session

Courtney — Tue, 08 Jan 2013 16:52:50 +0000

In December I made a mini road-trip to Asheville to shoot Lisette’s bridal portraits. Asheville is always one of my favorite places for a shoot because of the natural beauty of the land and the quirkiness and charm of the downtown. The rainy, slightly foggy day added to the atmosphere at the Botanical Gardens at Asheville, and I had fun pushing myself to create photos that were moodier and more unexpected.

Lisette was a really fun bride to work with because of her beautiful, unique feature (I am envious of her gorgeous blue eyes!) When I met Lisette during our time at UNC Chapel Hill she had awesome dreads, which she cut a few months before her wedding. Her new haircut made for awesome photos because it wasn’t the typical “bridal updo” that I see over and over. Her flowy JCrew wedding dress was also perfect for the environment and made for some really pretty profile pictures.

Lisette, thank you so much for your hospitality to me during your bridal shoot. I had fun getting to know your best friend and your parents, and I enjoyed our time watching Netflix and hanging out afterwards. Thanks for being a trooper with the cold weather during our shoot! Your mom was extremely helpful during the shoot carrying both of our things, and one of my favorite pictures from the day is you laughing with her as she walks across the field while talking on the phone and carrying tons of stuff! I hope you had fun and I can’t wait to share the wedding photos in my next post.

Enjoy!

Anne + Corey | Asheville Wedding at Homewood | Western NC Wedding Photographer

Wow, where do I even start? I loved everything about this Asheville wedding: the simple yet beautiful decor, the perfect spring weather, the cozy and intimate setting at Homewood, Anne and Corey’s amazing kids, and most of all their deep love for one another that overflowed in every aspect of their day.

I know Anne via her younger sister Kate, who was a fellow UNC photojournalism grad (and photo trip comrade!) I remember hearing about her awesome sisters when we were in college, and she certainly did not exaggerate. I teared up on several occasions during Anne and Corey’s big day.

Anne and Corey, thank you so much for inviting me to be a part of your wedding celebration. I hope these photos capture just a little bit of your love for each other, your family, and your friends. It was truly a pleasure working with you, and I hope to see more of you in the future. Enjoy!
