We are looking back today at Haven and Stephone’s Summer Engagement Session at Bailey Power Plan.  

Winston Salem North Carolina Engagement Session

Bailey Power Plant – An Industrial Icon:

Our adventure began at the historic Bailey Power Plant, a striking industrial landmark that has been beautifully repurposed. The exposed brick walls, tall windows, and vintage machinery created a visually captivating ambiance. Nestled in the heart of Winston-Salem, this vibrant location provided the perfect backdrop for their luxe look.

Rooftop Magic at the Parking Deck:

The rooftop of a nearby parking deck offered a breathtaking vantage point for capturing the essence of Winston-Salem’s downtown charm. As the session progressed, the soft, golden hour light bathed the cityscape, infusing the photographs with a warm, ethereal glow. This magical lighting elevated the entire atmosphere, lending an enchanting touch to Haven and Stephan’s images.

The Power of Wardrobe Choices:

When it comes to engagement sessions, wardrobe plays a pivotal role in setting the desired tone and elevating the overall look. Haven and Stephone truly embraced this concept, carefully selecting their outfits to embody the upscale urban style they envisioned. Their choice of cocktail attire, with Haven donning an elegant satin gown and Stephone dressed in a tailored suit, perfectly complemented the cityscape and exuded sophistication. The contrast of their chic attire against the industrial and urban elements created a visually captivating juxtaposition.

The Importance of Vibe:

Wardrobe choices can significantly impact the vibe and atmosphere of a session. By opting for cocktail attire instead of a more casual wardrobe, Haven and Stephone instantly heightened the level of elegance and refined aesthetics in their photos. The clean lines, polished fabrics, and attention to detail transformed their engagement session into a sophisticated urban affair, resulting in timeless images that exude an air of grace and luxury.

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.
