Lauren and Shad will be married next October which is probably why they wanted their engagement photos done this October. Asheville engagement sessions done in Autumn are some of my absolute favorites. I also love to hike… and so does Lauren and Shad so we hiked up to Craggy Gardens to grab some of these beautiful moments with some gorgeous scenery!

This is when I tell you how amazing this couple is. They are so full of joy and they laughed A LOT!!


They climbed a tree as well!  (I adore this tree.)


We “off roaded” it a bit to capture the beauty of Craggy.
SO much chemistry!





Up at the pinnacle there were LOADS of people. But they were gracious in allowing us to grab a few of these beautiful moments.

I absolutely can’t wait to capture this beautiful couple’s wedding next October. Do we really have to wait a year?!?!?!
