Aside from elopements, proposals have to be pretty high up there on my list of favorite sessions to capture. So much excitement and anticipation surrounds us all as we document a truly profound time in a couple’s life together. Leah and Nathanael came to Asheville to see our beautiful Biltmore estate. Little did she know, he had much more in store than just a scenic trip. Leah herself planned the trip so Nathanael knew she wouldn’t be expecting it this time. He contacted me about proposing, and I was more than happy to join in on the planning fun.

On the day we were scheduled to meet, the skies opened up in the rain started pouring. So we decided to gather at the inn and use the beautifully naturally lit hallway. As soon as he dropped down to one knee, shock over took her face, soon replaced by an enormous smile. She was so surprised and very very happy that she got the ring she had always wanted. Speaking of the ring, it was absolutely stunning! Good job Nathanael!

After we captured a few cozy pictures by the fire and around the estate, we headed out doors to get a few couple shots in the rain so they always remember the day. With a proposal as beautiful as this, I have no doubt in my mind that this day will forever hold a very special place in both of their hearts. As well as mine! 😉
