With Christmas right around the corner, I can’t help but think back to all my childhood classic Christmas favorites. White Christmas, Muppets Christmas Carol, the Santa Clause… The list goes on and on. The one underlying connecting element to all of these iconic classics is love. Whether that be the love between a family or the love between two beautiful hearts. Capturing this surprise proposal on a chilly Asheville day reminded me so much of the happy love that fills all of our classic movie favorites.

A Sweet Surprise

Briana and Lantz planned a trip to Asheville and Grove Park Inn. Briana has visited our beautiful city before with her mom so Lantz knew it was a place near and dear to her heart. He planned to propose here and knew Briana would want a photographer to capture, which is where I came in! After walking around the grounds for a while, he popped down to one knee and a smile instantly lit up her face. Her hands flew to her mouth as she squealed in excitement. A few kisses, a huge hug and some shaky stares at her gorgeous ring told me all I needed to know.

We proceeded to capture their engagement session, a perk of our surprise proposal plan. They are an absolutely adorable couple, highlighting and complementing each other so incredibly well. We found a few spots to hideaway and capture these images, which turned out beautifully! Thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of your special day you too. Congratulations and best wishes for your future together.
