This awe-inspiring, creative couple chose an epic location for their dream adventure session to celebrate their elopement! Jenni and Nolan hiked Black Balsam through the evergreen forest, up rock outcroppings, and past fairytale trees and views that would disappear into the most magical mist. They needed a spectacular location for such a special session - I think we found it on the perfect day!

Her one of a kind boots, accessories, and dress were perfectly complemented by his custom three piece suit. All of the loving details they chose were the perfect accents to accompany one of the most magical wedding dress up adventure sessions ever. We are so honored that they had us photograph their adventure and that we were able to fulfill their vision. Congratulations, Jenni and Nolan! I hope your session inspires more couples to dress up for once in a lifetime photo adventures like this!

I was honored to photograph Dona and Kevin's mountain destination wedding.  For the wedding weekend the couple, with some of their family and friends, stayed at their awesome venue, the Hawkesdene House.  This beautiful venue is close to the Nantahala in the mountains of Western North Carolina.  This was the perfect place for this adventure loving couple that enjoys whitewater rafting, kayaking, and being in the mountains.
