Meet Ashley & Andy. I first started talking to Ashley this spring because she was getting ready to graduate from UT and thought it might be fun to put a picture in her announcement/ invitation. But, the shoot got rained out and we were on a tight deadline with the invitation so it didn't happen. I was THRILLED though when Ashley called back a month or so later and said told us that she just got ENGAGED!!! Best of all, to her high school sweetheart, Andy, who she's been dating for almost 100 years. Ashley and Andy were so cute together and it really showed because it was literally like 100 degrees and 200% humidity when we did these pictures. I think you have to be REALLY in love to touch and kiss when it's that hot!! Not that you could tell with Ashley and Andy, though...they looked great the whole time, as you'll see. Dan and I - well, that's a different story. Ashley and Andy probably thought we were totally disgusting because we were sweating so much... I think at one point Dan went inside and got a roll of paper towels so we could wipe the sweat off our faces! - LOL. BUT, the light was amazing partly because it had just rained ---- it was probably some of the best light we've shot in all year! I hardly had to do anything to most of these pictures because they were great just how they were, because of the light and the subjects :) Enjoy!
Heidi and Mike, yall are next!!
I'm not going in order with these pics.... we started on the river downtown and then went back to our farm. It'll be easy to tell what's what.
I love this one
We have two favorites, this is one.
Early this spring I planted 100 or more boxes of wildflower seeds along our really long driveway. Nothing came up (or so I thought) until we were walking down the driveway and I noticed something colorful behind the tall weeds! Here is the pretty little spot -- I know, I'm like a proud momma. Sadly, that's about it for the wildflowers, it's mostly weeds :(
I think Ashley looks a bit like Reese Witherspoon - so jealous!
We love these next three
This is our other favorite
Just a good, straight-up portrait
The End!

Hi Friends! I am so excited to post this wedding! I have been waiting for weeks to start working on these pics because I've been going in order and finally our last wedding in May is finished!
This wedding was really special for us because Tyler (and Slate) are our personal friends. Tyler is part of what I call my 'NC girl group' or my 'Ya-Yas' which consists of 7 of the most beautiful, special, hilarious girls you will ever meet. If you have been following our blog for a long time you already know some if not all of them: Jenna and Emily both got married last year and Emily had Baby Barnes. You'll also remember Erin, who you last saw with a big baby belly. Then there is Lindsey, Michelle, Ashley & Tyler who you met in this post. Working on these pics got me really pumped up for this upcoming weekend. It's a non-wedding weekend for us but we'll be seeing most of these girls and their guys plus Erin & Chris and Daniel! -- I'm not going to say what we're doing just yet but I'm sure it'll be post-worthy :)
Back to Tyler, sweet Tyler! Rewind (years!)... Tyler and Slate were really good friends. They are both originally from Martinsville, VA but lived in Banner Elk, NC. Slate pursued Tyler for forever, but as far as Tyler was concerned they were 'just friends'. According to Michelle, they used to hang out together all the time and Slate used to ask Tyler, "Do you love me today?" and one day, she finally said "Yes!"
Since then, fate has intervened... just take a look at this photo from Jenna's wedding - Tyler is the tall and gorgeous one about to catch the bouquet!!!! (now make a mental note of the girl standing three people to the right of Tyler. We'll get to that in a minute;))
On to the main attraction! A classic!
Friday before the rehearsal we did a mini engagement session just for practice because Tyler was (like you all) nervous about having her picture made. Total ringers!
On to Saturday!
How could you not love this face?
From the church to the reception
I can not decide between these next two...
Remember the girl from above who missed the bouquet at Jenna's wedding? Well, she didn't miss it this time! Hmmm...wonder what good things are in store for her!? I predict a very good year --- this is one girl who definitely deserves it!!
There are soo many more photos we want to share so if you'd like to see more please take a look at their slideshow!!

Meet Heather and Dustin! They are getting married next October at The Inn at Serenbe in Palmetto, Georgia, which looks FABULOUS by the looks of their website! We had so much fun with them during their shoot. They were so happy-go-lucky and giggling the whole time. I really love engagement shoots and Heather is soooo cute!!.... I just want to bite her! And, best of all, when she first called me she was like, "I feel like I should preface this by saying that I too am a huge fan of Twilight." (She read it on this blog) -- ah, it's the little things that make me happy! And Dustin, he's a keeper! Dustin did a fantastic job just being a gentleman and basically going along with everything we asked during our shoot. Ohhh, I'm just remembering ---- Dustin is SUCH a gentleman, opened every car door for Heather when we were riding around in and out of the car. Sooo sweet!
Enjoy!!
Might be my fav ;)
Heather has to do this when she kisses Dustin :)
Also might be my fav!
No, this one!
Dustin is handsome!
Never mind, this is my favorite --- Dan too.
The End!!! Happy Fourth!! Tyler & Slate are next!
Heather says:
Natalie, You and Dan did a wonderful job! WE LOVE THEM!
