It looked like it was going to storm all evening, but we got the session in between showers! This sweet one just turned 1!! How cute is she?
Family session/Rumbling Bald Resort/Lake Lure Photographer/Autumn Olive Photography
What a great family! They all came together for a long weekend at the Rumbling Bald Resort in Lake Lure for their parents 40th Anniversary! The kiddos were adorable too!! The Rumbling Bald Resort especially holds a place in my heart since that is where I got married over 3 years ago! Love this place!!

Ben and Vicki had an amazing day for an elopement in Western North Carolina! The elopement took place at The Inn on Mill Creek which is an adorable Bed and Breakfast near Asheville. Both Ben and Vikki came from the UK for their elopement and I felt honored to capture their special day! Their marriage was just the start of their 3 week vacation to the states! They had their good friends Andrew and Richard join them to witness the ceremony and they were all a blast to hang out with (I mean take pictures of)!!
The Inn on Mill Creek
I love the look on Vicki’s face!
It was an inside joke…you had to be there!
What a beautiful location for a brunch! I am telling you, if you have never visited this Inn, it is a must!
Hope you had safe travels back and had a great time in the states!
That’s right! I am back and in full swing! I mostly took off the month of June to spend time with my sweet little girl that I had at the end of May! It really is crazy the joy your own baby can bring…I never understood it fully until having our own! I will be catching up on blog post in the next week or so…but for now, just wanna show off some pictures I have taken of our little girl within the first month! She has changed so much and is a little chunk now!
Just a few more images from this fun Asheville, NC engagement session.
I was working on some work in my office the other day and looked at this picture again. Something was drawing me to it more and more so I played around with it and could not be happier with the outcome! How can you not love those eyes and little teeth!
So, what exactly is a Bridal Portrait? I like to explain it as a “stress-free time to get as many images taken as possible in a location (or couple locations) of your choice in your wedding dress!” The wedding day can be sooo busy and a day filled with many emotions. Some brides choose to not concentrate on pictures of just them self on that day and decide to do a separate session with just them and the dress! Most of the times a good friend or the mom of the bride will come along as well (which makes for such a fun session). Majority of brides will get a 16×20 images or canvas of their favorite shot from the session and post it at the reception.
What to remember about Bridal Sessions?
*Bring props! Balloons, umbrellas, fun shoes, sunglasses, a bouquet….the sky is the limit!
*It may not always be the best idea to do your “trial run” with your hair on the same day as your bridal session (just incase you don’t like how it turned out). Instead, consider doing your trial run a week or so before, and then schedule your appointment to do your hair a couple hours before the bridal session
*Do not worry if a bridal session does not fit in your budget…..I promise we will get plenty of images of you on your wedding day!!
