Biltmore Estate Engagement Photos – Jana and Joe are Engaged!

After doing some Biltmore Estate Engagement Photos last year with Lauren and Jonathan, I was super excited to head back to Asheville, NC. It’s a gorgeous location, has some great food ( looking at you Luella’s BBQ) and to say it’s an easy spot to do an engagement session doesn’t do it justice. Jana and Joe made some last minute adjustments so we could beat out some rain, and it made all the difference in the world. The light was perfect, and we had a great time. Can’t wait for their September wedding at The Highgrove Estate!

The Biltmore Estate

We love the mountains and thought the Biltmore would be a beautiful and romantic backdrop for our engagement photos.

We love our two dogs… Josey and Katie! We enjoy being outdoors and traveling! We spent 3 weeks exploring Thailand and are excited about the adventures to come!

Joe surprised me with a Springer spaniel puppy and told me her name was Katie. I am a dog lover and had been begging Joe to get a dog as a playmate for my dog Josey. I had no idea he would follow through! We went out to dinner at our favorite restaurant and afterward walked around the state house. There, he got on one knee and proposed! I of course said yes and cried with excitement!

Share moments of joy, and even in the hard times, always find reasons to laugh! Lucky for me, Joe can always make me laugh!

Marrying Joe and celebrating with our friends and family!

Joe is an absolute natural… I am definitely not as comfortable in front of the camera, but Dave was so helpful and gave me pointers and advice! Who knew I have been posing all wrong for 28 years!! 🙂 I am definitely glad we did engagement photos… now I know what to expect on our wedding day and will not be as nervous!

These images were taken with combinations of a Nikon D5, Nikon D750, Nikkor 85mm 1.4G, Nikkor 45mm Tilt Shift, Nikkor 24mm 1.4G and two off camera SN-910 Speedlights with an assortment of MagMod modifiers. All images color corrected with Adobe Lightroom.

I’d also like to extend a huge thank you to Stephen for his help holding flash during the shoot.
