Courtney and Victor Dreamed of an Engagement Session in Scotland, and We Found the Perfect Local Alternative at the Little Chapel in Winston Salem!

I don’t think there is a more dreamy, romantic location in the Triad for an engagement session than the Little Chapel in Winston Salem! This beautiful venue is where Courtney and Victor’s vision came to be. We had so much fun dancing through the tall grass!

Dreaming of Scotland

Courtney and Victor initially dreamt of having their engagement photos taken among the green, rolling hills of Scotland. The idea of lush landscapes, historic castles, and the breathtaking scenery of Scotland was incredibly alluring. However, the practicalities of international travel and current circumstances made this dream quite challenging.

After considering several local options, we decided that the Little Chapel would be the ideal spot to capture their love. This charming chapel, purpose-built by local artisans using 500-year-old English brick. It provided a picturesque and unique backdrop for their engagement session.

The Little Chapel: A Hidden Gem for your Engagement Session

The Little Chapel is a hidden gem nestled in the heart of Winston-Salem, perfect for your engagement session. Its stunning details, including exposed oak ceiling trusses, breathtaking custom stained glass windows, and two sweet covered porches hung with rustic chandeliers, make it a photographer’s dream.

The beauty of the surroundings perfectly complemented the couple’s elegance and love for each other.

Golden-Hour Magic

As the sun began to descend towards the horizon, we moved outside to capture the exquisite golden-hour light. The Little Chapel’s location amidst a vast open field provided the perfect transition. The lush green surroundings created a serene and romantic ambiance. It was impossible to resist the allure of love in the air.

Capturing the Couple’s Transformation

At the start of the session, Courtney and Victor were a bit reserved. They weren’t accustomed to being in front of the camera, which is typical for most couples. However, we encouraged them with playful prompts, helping them relax and express their authentic emotions. This approach worked wonders; the couple gradually transformed from being a little shy to truly enjoying every moment.

As they began to laugh, twirl, and share affectionate moments, the genuine love they had for each other shone through. It was a beautiful transformation to witness. It became clear that their love was the most captivating feature of this entire experience.

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.
