The morning after our previous post, Erika and Jeff's wedding, Dan and I woke up early in beautiful Banner Elk, NC for Lisa and Ben's engagement shoot. Most of the time we do engagement shoots in the evening but because of everyone's schedule, this was a sunrise shoot and we love the results! 

We couldn't be more stoked about Lisa & Ben's wedding next June. They are getting married at the camp at Eseeola Lodge, an ideal location for a wedding. There is a beautiful view of Grandfather Mountain, a small lake with a cute boathouse, and a huge open-air pavilion -- it is fantastic! I've always wanted to shoot a wedding there and we're soooo excited. 

Here are a few of our favorites from their engagement shoot:

This was in a field right behind our hotel and I think this might be my favorite!

Then Ben had a great idea... he took us to this spot on Beech Mountain and as soon as we arrived, I was in heaven! The property is an entire ridge, probably over 100 acres, and all of it has this amazing view - which is even better in real life. If I had all the money in the world and could convince Dan to buy the side of a mountain this would be it! All of my girlfriends and their husbands would build houses up here and most days we'd never leave home. We'd just sit on our porches and drink coffee all day and it would be fabulous...

This might be my favorite too.
