Sydney and Jonathan joined us last autumn at two of Hanging Rock State Parks beautiful waterfalls for their engagement session

As our fall wedding season is winding down, I’m spending this week getting all of the galleries sitting our editing queue finished. One of the weddings I am working on is Sydney and Jonathan’s rustic wedding at the Barn at Granite Ridge Farms. They are so fun to work with! Sydney has the most sparkling personality and Jonathan is so sweet. He absolutely adores Sydney! It will be a few days before I’m finished with their wedding gallery, but I realized their engagement session has been hiding out in my hard drive since last October. These photos are just too good to leave sitting in there without sharing!

More About Their Session

We decided on Hanging Rock State Park because they wanted to go somewhere a little adventurous. We opted out of hiking to the top for a mountaintop session and stuck to an autumn waterfall engagement session. The foliage was much prettier in the lower elevations and still had lots of color. This is hands down one of our most favorite places to take couples for portraits. There are a lot of stairs, but if you take it slow, it is totally worth it!

Before engagement sessions, we send out a short guide about how to prepare for your session. We also wrote bout it here. One of the biggest pieces of advice we give is to plan for two outfits. Sydney and Jonathan are a perfect example of what to wear for a session like this. They started in a fun casual outfit and then switched to a second, more dressed up option for the other half of their session. I absolutely loved Sydney’s green velvet dress. She proudly told me she found this Calvin Klein dress at Ross! It was so perfect for this session and location.

We're Josh & Alisha

Just two lovebirds, enjoying everyday life.

Photographers. Artists. Creatives. Parents to two. Nerds. Foodies. Lovers. Friends.

We have been friends since 2006, married since 2008, and capturing memories through photography since 2010. The years of experience in all three make us uniquely qualified to tell your budding love story. If the years have taught us anything, its that fulfilling, long-lasting marriages have a foundation of friendship, and are built with joy - and perhaps quite a few carbs! 

We strive to help you feel confident during your big day, and not awkward or stressed - so you can look back on joyful memories that tell your love story.

MORE ABOUT US

Hi! I'm Alisha!

I'm so excited you're here! 

In addition to being a lady-boss photographer, I am a wife, a mom, a teacher and a follower of Jesus. Those things are the center of everything about who I am, what I do, and how I do it. That means I believe in how important family is, whether you are just starting your own, or are celebrating all of those special milestones. Josh and I have been married for over 12 years and photographing weddings and families for over 10 of those years. Our style has evolved over time, but we love capturing images that are bright, colorful, and tell the most important story - yours!

When we are not shooting, I love going on adventures with our two beautiful girls, trying new recipes, or catching up on my favorite shows with my hubby.

MORE ABOUT US

Hi! I'm Josh!

I want to capture your day!

Having the opportunity to live in a town as beautiful as Kernersville, NC is great. Being able to be here with Alisha is even better. I've been married over twelve years to the love of my life and for most of that time we have worked closely as wedding photographers. Because of this, we have a unique outlook on the wedding experience. Having the opportunity to find the joy and love in that special day and share it with you and your family and friends is the best thing about what I do. That's why I never miss getting a photo of the groom's face when he sees his bride for the first time.

When I don't have a camera in my hands, I enjoy coffee dates and car-sushi with my bride, board games before bed, and binge watching Netflix.
