Intimate Wedding in the Mountains

Imagine this:  Imaging taking off, just you and your fiance, to a destination and simply signing a piece of paper. Then imagine donning your "wedding's best" hiking almost a 1/2 mile to the top of a mountain, then taking some of the most loving pictures simply to mark the day.  That's exactly what Tiffany and Jacob did.  There was no huge procession.  Tiffany's mother made the bouquet.  Jacob picked out her shoes.  And they simply stared at the setting sun and said, " I do."

Couple's Session: Ryan + Chloe

There's were moms with strollers. There were senior citizens sun grazing by Lake Norman. It was only 8 in the morning and it already felt like it was 90 degrees. Then there were the three of us...Chloe, Ryan, and myself roughing it and melting through the humidity. I'm a known sweater.  Sweat pours whether I'm nervous, happy, lovely, or even when I'm thinking.

(constantly embarrassed on summer shoots)

Despite this well-known fact, I was able to see through my lens enough to pop off a few of these amazing shots. I'm really excited I got the opportunity to meet these great folks!

Here are a few shots from our day.
