• Hiking in the Smokies | Tennessee

  •   This Spring, we were lucky enough to be able to spend 4 nights camping in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. We love the moss, the little wildflowers, and all the wildlife we get to see each time we visit. We ended up staying in the Smokies through the weekend, so we asked a ranger [...]
  • Max + Maia | North Carolina Elopement

  •   Maia and Max have so much in common with us. First of all they are high school sweethearts and have been together for over 10 years. He was voted Best Looking and she was Best Legs in their senior superlatives- which is definitely not surprising to find out. :) Josh was voted Most Daring and I was voted B [...]
  • Camping in the Smokies | Tennessee

  • We love photographing in Great Smoky Mountains so much. This was our very first time camping in the Elkmont region just outside of Gatlinburg and it was very nice. The scenery on the trip in was stunning. And while the campsites in the Smokies were private and wooded, they did not have any hookups. In other wor [...]

This day, we hiked all the way to the summit of Mount Rogers from Massie Gap after visiting with the Ponies in Grayson Highlands State Park. The r [...]
  • Hiking in Grayson Highlands | Virginia

  • Grayson Highlands State Park is a truly magical place.  I have been here countless times in all seasons. Every time it looks different, but every time just as breathtaking as the last. What surprises us, is that few people really know about this place. Its closer to Raleigh than Asheville, so its an easy [...]
  • Chillin at Edisto Beach | South Carolina

  •   We stopped at Edisto Beach after a fun filled day at the Ersest F. Hollings Ace Basin National Wildlife Refuge. My friend has had dreams of setting up a hammock for nearly our whole cross country road trip, but consistent rain and chilly temps made that a less attractive option.  But those palm trees [...]
