Marilynn’s Bridal Portraits | Asheville, NC Wedding Photographer

Posted

asheville_arboretum_wedding_photography-04

Over the weekend, I did something I hardly ever get to do: I attended a wedding…as a GUEST! That’s right, bridal luncheon, rehearsal dinner, cried when the bride walked down the aisle, toasts, favors, and all! My dear friends Marilynn and Josh got married during a fun weekend wedding at Lake Lure, and it was important to Marilynn that I was able to enjoy her wedding as her friend rather than her photographer. I did, however, get to shoot their green and gorgeous engagement portraits in Seattle last fall (CLICK HERE for those), and I also photographed Marilynn’s bridal portraits at the NC Arboretum in Asheville, NC. I know I’m biased because she is my friend, but this bride rocks.it.out in front of the camera.

Marilynn and Josh, thank you for giving me the best of both worlds–I got to put my camera on you for two amazing portrait sessions, and I also got to celebrate your wedding weekend as your friend. I love you both, and I am so, so happy for you! (And a little jealous that you’re enjoying white sand and blue water right now…;-) )

Elizabeth | Greenville, SC Senior Portraits

Posted

Senior Portraits….not just for high school! Elizabeth is about to graduate from college, and we spent some time at Falls Park in Greenville shooting portraits for her graduation announcements. After a week of gorgeous 80* spring days, it was overcast and a chilly 45* for her session (boo!)….but Elizabeth was amazing and we had a great time anyway!

Yesterday, you got to see portraits of cute little ZuZu, who just became a big brother this week. Today, I wanted to give some attention to Mom and Dad, who were so relaxed and loving during our session.

I just love families who focus on each other, and these parents really seem to have a fun but calming presence. Maybe it’s the yoga…

The Goasguens are such a loving and active family, and this week they grew by one! We photographed these casual family portraits last Saturday, just a week before Baby #2 joined them. Mom, Dad, and little ZuZu played together on the lake shore and celebrated their little family of three…
