Full of all the autumn vibes, this romanic golden hour engagement session by Virginia wedding photographer DANIELLE DEFAYETTE took place on Roan Mountain. She tells us, "just before the barren winter months up on the mountain there is a period of time where the sun always seems to glow and the temperatures are perfect. Josh and Victoria picked Carvers Gap and the Round Bald on the Mountain for their engagement session because it means so much to them. They moved to Johnson City for the mountain views and hiking, which is exactly what we did for their photos! These two are so in love with the mountain views that they'll be tying the knot at a mountain lodge in Pigeon Forge this October."
A huge thank you to Virginia wedding photographer DANIELLE DEFAYETTE for sharing this beautiful wedding inspiration with us. Danielle is always seeking and finding joy and looking for that dreamy light – whether it's capturing incredible love stories for couples who appreciate timeless film images, obsessing over precious newborn cheeks, or taking crazy road trips to beautiful places with massive cotton candy coloured tulle dresses packed into the back of her car. "Capturing images has become second nature to me and I find myself searching for the human connection in every photograph I take. I believe in providing an unforgettable wedding photography experience for each of my couples, in addition to capturing classic, luminous, editorial images that have you falling in love all over again. Though my work, I focus on the simple and meaningful while manipulating light to capture the magic of each moment. My goal is to build a legacy through beautiful art that will provide meaning for generations to come." Head over to her portfolio to see more of her work.
