Rustic Charlotte Wedding
This groom was so in love!
As the sun began to set on a beautiful autumn evening in Charlotte, North Carolina, I arrived at the rustic barn where Michael and Margo were set to exchange their vows. The couple had chosen this charming venue for its intimate atmosphere and stunning outdoor setting, and as I set up my equipment and began to scout out the best angles for capturing their special day, I couldn't help but feel excited for the celebration to come.
The barn was adorned with lush greenery and delicate flowers, creating a romantic and elegant atmosphere. As the guests arrived and took their seats, the energy in the air was palpable, and I could tell that everyone was eager to witness the union of these two amazing people.
When the time came for the ceremony to begin, Margo made her way down the aisle, looking absolutely radiant in her stunning white gown. As she approached Michael, who was waiting for her at the altar, his face lit up with joy, and I knew that this was going to be a moment I would never forget.
As the couple exchanged their heartfelt vows and exchanged rings, I snapped away, capturing every precious moment. The love and emotion in the room was palpable, and I knew that these photos would be treasured for years to come.
After the ceremony, we headed outside for the cocktail hour and reception, where the party really got started. The barn was transformed into a lively and festive space, with twinkling lights and a delicious spread of food and drink. As the night went on, I captured all of the special moments, from the first dance to the cutting of the cake, and even some impromptu speeches from the couple's loved ones.
As the evening came to a close and the newlyweds headed off into the night, I couldn't help but feel grateful for the opportunity to be a part of such a special day. Michael and Margo's barn wedding was truly a magical and unforgettable event, and I was honored to have been able to capture it all through my lens.
Marissa & Brandon’s Engagement
Wow! Marissa & Brandon were fun… and a bit adventurous!
Well! I have to say that Looking Glass Falls in Brevard North Carolina is one of my new favorite places to do engagement photos. It was a little cold in November to jump in the water but I hope some adventurous couple will want to go this summer! We had such a good time with this couple though. I was surprised that there were several trails and spots that we were able to capture some great photos and also add a little variety to the session.
Are you planning an engagement photo shoot at Looking Glass Falls in Brevard, North Carolina? If so, you're in for a treat – the falls are a truly stunning location, and the perfect backdrop for beautiful and memorable engagement photos.
Here are a few tips to help you make the most of your photo shoot:
Choose the right time of day: The lighting at Looking Glass Falls is always beautiful, but certain times of day will be more flattering for your photos. Avoid shooting in the middle of the day, when the sun is directly overhead, as this can create harsh shadows on your faces. Instead, opt for early morning or late afternoon, when the light is softer and more diffuse.
Dress for the occasion: Your attire can have a big impact on the overall look and feel of your photos. For a more romantic and intimate vibe, consider wearing dresses or suits in softer, more muted colors. Avoid busy patterns or overly flashy accessories, as these can distract from the natural beauty of the falls.
Scout out the best spots: The falls are surrounded by beautiful, lush greenery, so take some time to explore and find the spots that will make for the best photos. Look for areas with interesting backgrounds, such as trees or rock formations, and try to find a spot that is somewhat sheltered from the sun.
Don't be afraid to get a little wet: The falls are, well, a waterfall, so you may end up getting a little wet during your photo shoot. Don't let this discourage you – in fact, some of the most memorable engagement photos are the ones that show the couple embracing the natural surroundings and having fun. Just make sure to bring a change of clothes if you plan on getting too wet!
Overall, the key to a successful engagement photo shoot at Looking Glass Falls is to relax, have fun, and let the natural beauty of the location speak for itself. With these tips in mind, you're sure to come away with some truly beautiful and meaningful photos that you'll cherish for years to come.
Their wedding is not until 2023 but half tempted to get them back at this waterfall this summer! Hey! If any couples want to go swimming this summer let me know :)
