If You Are Planning an Engagement Session for Downtown Winston Salem, Here is Your Guide to Some of the Best Locations! 

Downtown Winston-Salem, North Carolina is a picturesque location for couples planning to capture their love with an engagement session. With its mix of historic and modern architecture, the downtown area offers a variety of backdrops for a truly unique photoshoot. Here are some of the most photogenic spots downtown Winston-Salem has to offer:

The Industrial Backdrop: Bailey Power Plant Coal Pit

Bailey Power Plant is a historic building that has been repurposed as a mixed-use development . The coal pit area is a unique feature of the building that offers a rugged, industrial look. It’s the perfect spot for couples looking to capture an industrial, urban vibe in their photos. The dark, gritty background of the coal pit contrasts beautifully with the bold colors.

Classic Architecture: Millennium Center Steps

Next up, we’ll move up to the steps of the Millennium Center. The Millennium Center is a premier event space in downtown Winston-Salem that has been restored to its original Art Deco style. The building’s federal style architecture provides a classic backdrop for couple’s photos. The steps leading up to the entrance of the building also provide a great location for some playful shots, such as the couple sitting on the steps or even a dip and kiss.

Romantic Rooftops: Golden Hour on the Parking Deck

Lastly, we’ll finish the day by capturing golden hour on the roof of the parking deck. Golden hour is the time just before sunset when the sun casts a warm, golden light over everything. This is a beautiful time of day to capture romantic moments between the couple and create stunning silhouettes against the city skyline.

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.
