where words don't do justice for the moments contained
When planning their engagement session (Riverside Engagement Photos in Asheville), G + G chose something truly unique— a campsite along a sparkling riverbank right outside of Asheville! This is an activity that’s so common within their relationship that it felt perfectly natural. With a camping reservation just for their photoshoot, this session captured so much more than just beautiful backdrops; it was an experience that felt as close to a date night as a photoshoot.
Just before the sun slowly dipped behind the trees, they set up a small fire and got to roasting marshmallows, making s’mores, and sipping homemade lemonade. There’s something magical about the simplicity of sitting by a crackling fire, and that warmth and closeness definitely came through in their photos. Their sweet pup was all in, too, happily joining for treats, cuddles, and a few adorable photos of their own.
With a soft glow from the fire and the river’s flow as the soundtrack, this session was a relaxed reminder of how Asheville’s natural beauty can make even the smallest moments feel like an escape; a reminder I need and can reflect on so much more now that we’ve experienced the WILDness of nature shown to us by Hurricane Helene.
If you’re dreaming of an engagement session that feels more like a cozy evening with your favorite person (and pup), a riverside camping setup could be the perfect fit. For these two, it was about enjoying each other’s company in the most natural setting possible. And for anyone else considering a unique engagement session, the Blue Ridge Mountains offer so much variety.
