The quite evening in the Appalachian mountains surrounded by changing colors of autumn. Inviting, comforting, and unmistakably wild. I am drawn to these places. Seeking out a rocky crag piercing out into the open sky through the tree covered hillside. A cool breeze descends as the sun's orange glow defiantly shines on the ridges below. Giving us a fleeting glimpse of the surrounding splendor. These moments are worth the effort it took to bring us here.

Nestled in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Castle Ladyhawke in Tuckasegee, NC, provided the most enchanting backdrop for Julie and Kamil's wedding day. This romantic venue, brimming with character and charm, was the perfect setting for a day filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable memories.

The day began with Julie and Kamil preparing for their big moment. The anticipation was palpable as they got ready in their respective suites, each filled with excitement and a touch of pre-wedding jitters. As a wedding photographer, capturing these moments of anticipation is always a joy.

The ceremony took place in the castle&rsquo;s stunning outdoor area, with the majestic mountains serving as a breathtaking backdrop. Julie made her entrance, and the sight of her left everyone, including Kamil, awestruck.

The couple&rsquo;s fun-loving personalities were evident throughout the day. They laughed, danced, and celebrated their love in a way that was true to them. Their infectious joy made photographing their wedding a pleasure, and it's these genuine moments that create the most beautiful images.

<blockquote>
The best part of the day, however, was unquestionably the couple themselves. Julie and Kamil's love for each other was evident in every look, every touch, and every word. Their happiness was infectious, lighting up the venue and making it a day to remember.
</blockquote>

As the night fell, the castle was lit up, casting a magical glow over the end of a perfect day. The newlyweds continued dancing as husband and wife on the castle terace with a beautiful mountian backdrop, and it was a moment of pure magic.
&nbsp;
Julie and Kamil's wedding at Castle Ladyhawke was truly a fairytale come to life. Every detail was perfect, from the stunning venue to the joyous couple. As a wedding photographer, being a part of such a special day is a privilege. I am thrilled to have been able to capture the magic and love of Julie and Kamil's wedding day, providing them with memories that they can cherish forever.

I love any chance I get to travel. Seeing new places, exploring, meeting new people. Couples photo session on a Beach, heck yeah, count me in! I meet Katie and Dylan at a nice quiet beach near their home on Vilano. Saint Augustine is a fantastic place to visit and Vilano is no exception!

Couples session Vilano Beach

Scott has an eye for detail and is truly talented, I feel like it is rare today to find professionals with true heart and passion behind every inch of his work. My husband and I eloped out of state and Scott was so easy to speak with, responded quickly to any questions we had, and even helped us pick out our location. Scott took on small and large requests to make our day special and ensure our loved ones back home felt they were there with us.
We had a wonderful experience working with Scott and absolutely love all of the photos that we will cherish forever.

Kendall Stearns

Scott is amazing!! Not only is he incredibly talented, but he’s also super kind. He made us feel so comfortable the entire time. It took me a long time and research to find our photographer and I am so glad we ended up going with him! His work is so beautiful and he’s very communicative. He’ll help keep you at ease when it comes to stressful planning and scheduling. He’s also very flexible and was able to meet with us super last minute for our engagement photos. My husband and I aren’t very good in front of the camera but some how Scott was able to capture the most beautiful pictures! He made the session super enjoyable and captured amazing candids that I truly treasure. My jaw literally dropped when I saw my gallery!!

Lauren Allmon

I cannot shout enough how wonderful Scott is!!  Scott did out engagement session, spent the entire day of the wedding capturing all the moments I had hoped for.  He personality is so inviting and friendly.  Scott really has a natural talent for capturing special moments in a picture.  Turnaround time is super fast!  One special touch Scott added was the night of our wedding before my husband and I left, Scott handed me 10 polaroids of highlight pics he had taken throughout the day.  The best little special touch ever!  I was able to take these on our honeymoon and share them with everyone we met!   Thank you again Scott for making our day so very special!
