when the leaves begin to turn golden i have a really hard time concentrating. fall is my favorite- the crisp air, the colors, pulling out my boots and scarves, bonfires and rich risottos and of course, all things pumpkin spice. it’s enough to distract me completely. in fact, it took me 5 full minutes to write that last sentence because i started daydreaming at least twice. luckily, rebecca and harris are kindred spirits when it comes to fall love and they chose to have their engagement photos taken on a beautiful november afternoon in the mountains of north carolina. i love them for that! the drive up was stunning and our afternoon with rebecca and harris was perfect. they are just such fun people! easy to talk to, quick to laugh and make the most of every moment. in fact, they spent a full day exploring the little town of highlands, nc, scouting out different settings for their shoot, just to make it perfect! we could not have been happier as we drove through their proposed route before the shoot began- a bed and breakfast with an orchard and a pond? a skinny winding road covered in brilliant leaves and surrounded by towering maples? a quaint boutique hotel with beautiful stonework? rebecca & harris, thank you for setting up the perfect fall day!
after pulling over for a few shots on this beautiful street, we decided to climb down into the woods. thankfully rebecca & harris were up for a little adventure! how many times have we been driving and i’ve commented on how pretty the flowers or trees are on the side of the road?? i do that allll the time. and today was the day to finally pull over and explore- we just couldn’t resist!
we couldn’t resist including this next series of outtakes, getting back to the street was quite scary in slippery boots but luckily rebecca and i had our guys there to help us out- i love these outtakes:
rebecca & harris, thank you guys for such an amazing shoot- seriously, you guys are awesome! can’t wait for the wedding!
