MOSES CONE MANOR, BLOWING ROCK
Brett and Melanie are such a perfect couple and wonderful friends to join me for an impromptu couple’s photography session on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Accompanied by their fur baby, Odie, we began their unforgettable session amidst the breathtaking landscapes of Moses Cone Manor near Blowing
Rock, North Carolina. I had been looking to take a session to the Blue Ridge Parkway since beginning my photography journey and this stunning backdrop along with the genuine love between Melanie and Brett was beautiful!
As we ascended the mountain in the early afternoon, we were wrapped in a shroud of clouds, which lent a subdued ambiance to our journey. As we rose higher on the mountain, we emerged above the clouds and the sun broke through, casting its golden rays upon us, transforming the entire landscape into a canvas of natural beauty—a moment that set the stage for a remarkable couple’s photography session.
Moses Cone Manor, with its sprawling meadows and winding trails, became the ideal setting for this couple's photography session. Brett and Melanie, whose love was as radiant as the emerging sunshine, brought an unmistakable warmth to every frame. Odie, was a very good boy and brought smiles to all our faces. Their genuine joy and shared moments throughout the session created a captivating narrative amongst the Blue Ridge Mountains.
The interplay of light and shadow across the rolling mountainous landscape added depth and character to each photograph. However, the soft, warm glow that bathed the scene towards the end of the session created an enchanting ambiance for our final captures.
This couple's photography session was more than just documenting moments; it was a celebration of friendship, love, and the enchanting beauty that unfolded above the cloud cover—a day cherished and immortalized in the heartwarming frames captured. Enjoy a few of my favorites from their fall Blowing Rock, NC couple’s session!
