Stephen and Sarah's Grandfather Mountain Adventure: An Engagement Session to Remember
On November 11, 2019, I had the distinct pleasure of capturing Stephen and Sarah's adventure engagement session amidst the breathtaking backdrop of Grandfather Mountain in North Carolina. My connection with Stephen dates back to our first job at a movie theater in our hometown, where I witnessed the blossoming of his relationship with Sarah, starting from 11/11/11. As I embarked on my own journey into photography, they became my muse, always ready to support and inspire. Documenting their engagement, therefore, felt like a beautiful full circle, a celebration of their love and my growth as a photographer.
A Very Special Location:
Our session commenced at a place deeply significant to Stephen and Sarah – the exact spot where Stephen proposed a year prior. The Grandfather Mountains served as a majestic backdrop while they danced and played in the dappled sunlight. It was a moment of pure joy, encapsulated against the grandeur of nature, reflecting the depth and playfulness of their bond.
Blue Hour Magic:
As the day transitioned to the enchanting blue hour, we made our way to a serene location off the Blue Ridge Parkway. With a quick outfit change, Stephen and Sarah found themselves under the spell of the full moon, creating a hauntingly beautiful and majestic setting. The session captured the essence of their relationship – whimsical, profound, and deeply connected to the natural world.
The Day After:
The following morning greeted us with a dramatic change in weather, as a mini blizzard transformed the landscape into a winter wonderland. Reuniting at their parents’ vacation cabin, we captured the essence of their love amidst the snow-covered scenery. Each photograph was a testament to the warmth and joy they share, even amidst the chill of winter
Stephen and Sarah's engagement session at The Grandfather Mountains in North Carolina was not just about capturing their love; it was about celebrating their journey together in a place that holds a special place in their hearts. The varied landscapes, from the grand vistas to the cozy snow-covered cabin, offered a perfect canvas for their adventure engagement session. As their friend and photographer, I was honored to be part of this chapter in their love story.
