Lisa + Tim Step Into The Limelight | Biltmore Estate | Asheville, NC

Oh my goodness… this engagement shoot was what dreams are made of! We met Lisa & Tim for their engagement photos at the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina and it was absolutely amazing! 🤩🏰 

We first started the shoot at the iconic Biltmore House {which by the way… wow!!} and then moved to the beautiful Biltmore gardens.  After the gardens, we moved locations and found a beautiful, serene waterfall.  It was a perfect moment as this couple enjoyed the scenery as well as each other.  🥰 We ended the session at Antler Hill Village were we captured that gorgeous sunset with the Smokey Mountains as our backdrop. 

Lisa & Tim are truly two of the sweetest people! They were laughing all throughout our session and it was so beautiful to witness. We truly LOVED everything about this shoot and we are so thrilled for this gorgeous couple!

Lisa & Tim, we wish you a happy wedding planning season and we cannot wait to capture your wedding this November! 💍

Jessica + Jakob Step Into The Limelight | The Birchwood | St. Petersburg, FL

Talk about a love story! These two met 12 years ago in High School PE class and began their relationship as friends. Eventually that progressed and now they are married twelve years to the day that they started dating! Jessica and Jakob are the ying to each other’s yang. They complete each other and that becomes very evident as you get to know them. They balance each other perfectly, have a lot in common, and are truly themselves around one another. They enjoy traveling, camping, and adventure. I see a lot of adventure and fun in their future. I had a blast being a part of their big day and helping their vision come true in their photos. I wish you the best, Jessica and Jakob!

Sydney + Cody Step Into The Limelight | Red Mesa Events + The Birchwood | St. Petersburg, FL

What a day!! Sydney and Cody’s wedding was seriously one of the most perfect ones we have ever been a part of.  They met when Sydney had issues with her apartment, where Cody worked so he came to her rescue! From everyone’s recollection of the story they have been inseparable ever since and it was a joy to see their love for each other.  It was clear they had SO much love for their family too!  The hugs and tears seemed to flow throughout the entire day. We almost couldn’t hold the tears back as Sydney shared first looks with both her father and step-father, and dances with them too. And Cody’s sister walking him down the aisle and his dance with his aunt were such beautiful moments! The couple wanted classy and timeless and they definitely achieved it, every detail was planned perfectly. We just know Sydney and Cody have the most incredible future ahead and we couldn’t be happier for them 💖

Samantha + James Step Into The Limelight | Mahaffey Theater + St. Pete Yacht Club | St. Petersburg, FL

 

Samantha and James met in 2010 at Sea Scouts (James was in 8th grade and Samantha was in 9th grade). They were just friends and raced sailboats competitively for several years. In 2013 the two of them ran a summer sailing camp together and became very close friends. September 13, 2013 they went on our first date at the Cheesecake Factory and to watch a movie.  Little did they know that would blossom into a beautiful relationship.

Now, they have been together for several years. The couple has two dogs and purchased a home together. 

These two are so much fun to be around. It was a beautiful day in downtown St. Pete, with boats all about and sunshine to be had! They were wed in the beautiful Mahaffey Theater and then moved on to party at the St. Pete Yacht Club surrounded by friends and family. We had a wonderful session out on the dock with a beautiful sunset falling behind the scenic downtown skyline. 

Then we wrapped up the evening with a night session by the string lights. These two were made for each other, and I think it shows in this gallery.
