Asheville wedding photographer, Meriah from Mozingo Photography, recently took these bridals of Lauren after her wedding day for a styled shoot.  Love the switch up of styles and scenery throught!

Love these engagement pictures taken by Asheville wedding photographer, Realities Photography!  Rachel and Jon will be getting married at The Biltmore Estate next June, so it is only fitting that they have their engagements done with this beautiful backdrop…and I love how they incorporated their dog!

If you are thinking of doing engagement pictures, make it relevant to who you are as a couple.  If your pets are a huge part of your life, bring them along!  Whatever you do, whether it is the location, or animals, or vintage props… make it fun and unique, to represent who you are as a couple.  I also believe that engagement sessions are a great way to get in front of the camera before the big day.  It allows you the opportunity to get to know your photographer a little better, and likewise.

Want to see more images from this engagement session ~ head over to the Realities Photography Blog!

When we found out Kathleen from Asheville Wedding Dance Company, I Do Dances was going to be teaching the famous last seen from Dirty Dancing…we just HAD to share!  Can you imagine what a great first dance {or even last dance} this would be at your wedding!!  I think my hubs and I are going to take the class, just because it is going to be fun!  I have taken from Kathleen before, and she is an amazing teacher.  See below for more details on the class from Kathleen:

My dance partner, Daniel, and I will be teaching the Dirty Dancing routine to “Time of My Life” from the oh-so-famous (local) movie! I’ve gotten many requests to teach this dance for a long while and now is the time to unleash it! And now is the time to unleash your Dirty Dancing desire! This is a super hot, sexy, playful, fun, easy to break down dance that is pretty irresistible.

If you need a refresher of why this could be…one of the most fun dances to learn, take a looksy.  Don’t worry if you don’t have dance experience!  Daniel and I will provide many different modifications that will make the dance accessible to all levels.

This will be an eight week course, starting Wednesday, November 2nd at 7:30 P.M., running through December 28th, skipping November 23rd for Thanksgiving.  Get your honey, or a friend you don’t mind dancing close to, and sign up! I need six couples to make this class happen and no more then 9 couples. The cost of the 8 week series is $144 per couple, that’s just $9/class/person.

We strive to provide an unintimidating atmosphere where everyone can feel comfortable trying something new and have fun doing it! I would love for you to join me!
