Her level of trust and availability for me to be creative was so refreshing!  We pulled over on the side of the road more than once to grab that perfect location.  And to have a bride willing to traipse out into a field and get her dress a little dirty before her wedding day was awesome… because really… it’s only dirt!

I will never forget what a good sport Leigh, her Mom and sister were for piling in my truck and trekking through the mud to get to this location.  It was seriously the only spot with peach blossoms that we could find!  And I love that Leigh trusted me enough to create not just the typical bridal portraits, but a work of art as well.

Being able to create images like this one is why I love the term “fine art wedding photographer.”  This is one of those images that you can hang on your wall for years; and while it remains timeless, it is a work of art featuring you.

Winston & Jennifer’s wedding was a great way to get warmed up into wedding season.  After taking 4 months off to be with my son, I knew that shooting this laid back, country affair would be just what I needed to get my engine started again.

Winston and Jennifer met at Western Carolina. They had both seen each other around the dorm, but never really paid any mind to one another.  One night, while Jennifer was doing her RA duties, they struck up a conversation and Winston invited her to come hang out when she got off duty.  Not knowing what was ahead of her, she politely gave in; and from there a friendship was formed. Within a month or so they were dating.

When Winston proposed he took her to the top of a mountain he had been wanting to show her for months. It was beautiful, you could see the WCU campus and for miles around.
He asked her, ” Do you love me?”
“Of course I do!”
“Do you want to spend forever with me?”
Then he got down on one knee and asked her to be his wife!
And of course she said “yes”!

The day was full of their closest friends & family.  All set in the historic, rustic outdoor Bennett Bunn Plantation; which was a perfect backdrop for Jennifer and Winston’s personalities.  Hope you enjoy!
