Autumn Olive Photography had the opportunity to photograph a wedding in St. Joseph, Michigan (which is very different from the mountains of Asheville, NC)!  It was so beautiful though and the weather held out the whole time!  The amazing wedding planner, JODY VANBOGELEN, of The Organized Partner made sure the whole day went off with out a hitch! The details were perfect and Matt and Sandy even surprised their guest with a special “first dance”! I have no idea how they had time to go to dance lessons with Sandy being in med school, planning a wedding, and training for a marathon!!  Makes me exhausted even thinking about it!

Thanks Matt and Sandy for allowing us to be part of your wedding day and I hope you enjoyed your honeymoon to Europe!

We met at Falls Park in Greenville, SC to take the images of this beautiful bride! I am so excited to finally post these images up of Patrice!! Is she not a beautiful?   Just wait until you see the pictures of her wedding!

This couple came from Texas to get married at the Biltmore Estates in Asheville, NC which  is such a great place to have a wedding. I was truely honored to be the Photographer!  The details were perfect and the couple could not have been more in love!  The wedding actually took place on the flower carpet which was so unique and beautiful!  

A sweet note from the bride:

“They are wonderful, Cristen!  It’s like I’m reliving the moment when I look at them!  You captured everything so wonderfully.  My dad kept saying how wonderful you were.  He was like you will never find a photographer as patient as she is. I agree.  You were so wonderful and patient.  Thank you for capturing everything so perfectly.”

Sally’s dad seeing her for the first time…it was so sweet!

Here are some images of the lovely Tori. We had planned on heading downtown, but ended up doing the images literally in her backyard!  It was great to see you again Tori!  

Autumn Olive Photography now can help you with designing photos and frames on your wall with our new design program! I have got to admit, I partially got this program for myself. You see, I have yet to put ONE HOLE ON A WALL in my house! I know, it is sad!  Part of it is just not knowing how I should design my frames on the wall.  I really just want to “see it” before I “do it”. Ask for more details. Here are some examples of what can be done:

2 Horizontal 8×10 images, 2 vertical 8×10 images, 2 vertical 11×14 images. Minimum wall space needed is 55 inches by 50 inches.

2 vertical 8×10 images and 2 vertical 5×7 images. Minimum wall space needed is 48 inches by 15 inches

This wall includes 2 vertical 16×20 images, 2 vertical 8×10 images, 2 horizontal 5×7 images. A minimum wall space of 40 inches by 30 inches is needed.

It was such a pleasure to photograph both Travis and Kiley! Their wedding is in less than a couple of weeks, but they wanted to get some photos taken together before the actual wedding which was such a great idea for any couple that may be up for it!  These love birds had a fun style to bring to the session as well, which always makes me smile! WARNING: Photo overload….I just love this couples style!!

I am so excited to announce a new product we are offering at Autumn Olive Photography.  It is the Pocket Album. It is a 5×5 square album that can hold 20-40 pages. Although it is not “the size of your pocket”, it is a great product to take around to easily show your friends and family! 

Here is just a quick preview of the beautiful Beth….more to come!

Here are just a couple of photos from the bridal session.  The weather was crazy…it had rained in the afternoon, then foggy, then sun/clouds/humidity all at once!! I think we were all drenched in sweat by the end of the session, but it was so worth it! Look at her beauty! I will post more from the session when I get back from IL!!

After many sample albums, and must search for our new album, Autumn Olive Photography is excited to announce our new wedding albums that are now available. Unlike the Fine Art Albums (which are still available), these albums fit many more images, and are custom designed.  They have thick, rounded edge pages, and are flush mount with leather covers. These albums are available in the 10×10 and 12×12 sizes. The album below is a dis-stressed brown leather (a personal favorite), although the traditional black leather is available as well.  If you are one of my past or upcoming brides and you would like more information on these albums, please email me or leave a message on the main website!

PS. Please excuse the images. I don’t specialize in images of products. I would be more than happy to share in person! :)
