Craggy Gardens

Guys! we FINALLY did it! We conquered Craggy Gardens in Asheville, NC with Jenny and Bryan! It only took us rescheduling the shoot 3 times due to weather, but we got there and it was SO WORTH IT! Last time you saw the beautiful faces of HeartIsTree Studios, they were surrounded by dark clouds and getting pelted with giant raindrops! How did we managed to get so many photos out of sixty seconds? I’ll never know! This trip we made it all the way up to the pinnacle without a single drop of rain! Even more amazing there wasn’t a could in sight! We were very grateful for the rain reprieve!

Craggy Gardens is the easiest trail we’ve hiked yet. There are tons of great photo spots to stop along the way. And the 360 degree views at the top are breath taking! It’s a great choice for engagement or wedding photos!

We had so much fun spending more time with Jenny & Bryan. They’re so full of life and laughter! Documenting their love was easy as breathing. They adore each other openly and without abandon. Thank you Jenny & Bryan for sticking with us through it all and making this photo shoot happen! We love you guys!

XOXOXO,
Mabyn
