Let me just start this out by saying that I think I may be the one that fell in love with Jayme. Not even kidding, I think the world of Jayme and am completely smitten that we are working together in anticipation of her and Elliott's wedding! Gah, I have the best clients in the world!

Earlier this year Elliott took Jayme to the one place that she'd always wanted to go and relax for the weekend; The Omni Grove Park Inn. It is this magical hotel that has huge firepits, an amazing sunset view, and the best view of downtown Asheville anyone could ever dream of! He proposed on one of their terraces, and the rest is history. So romantic, right?! It was only fitting that we go back and revisit the one place that they cherish so deeply.

We started off the day with a walk around their golf course, then scurried inside just in time for some much needed coffee (if you know me, you know I like to start sessions early!). We sat outside and took in the view, and I could only imagine how these two felt during that time. What a treat to go back, it was a beautiful day and I had gorgeous subjects in front of my lens.

After adventuring the hotel, we hopped on the Blue Ridge Parkway and found the prettiest little outlook with gorgeous mountains to boot. Below, please find some of my favorite images from our time there!
 

I can not express to you how lucky I am to have the clients that I have! Not only were Justin and Sarah willing to hike around all of Blowing Rock, they were willing to start before the sun even rose! Seriously?! Like, pinch me! If you've ever done a portrait session with me then you know how much I adore that morning light! Sarah and Justin never obliged and were the best to collaborate with!

We started out the day at the beautiful Manor at Moses Cone. Being a photographer from out of town I had to do ALOT of searching and asking friends of where the perfect places would be. All of them said the Manor was absolutely gorgeous, and I could not agree more! After that we visited a few state parks, and found our way to the Viaduct--one of Justin's favorite places!

At the end we even got some beautiful and sweet images with them and their dog Winchester. When I say that I have never met a more well-behaved dog, I mean that! He was all so grown up from the last time I met him [which was when he was a puppy], and it made my heart sing when he became the best little pup in our session.

Please enjoy some of my favorite portraits from an all around great couple. Congratulations Sarah and Justin!
