When a couple’s love for adventure and each other comes together in an engagement session, you know it’s going to be special. We recently had the chance to photograph a Max Patch engagement session that perfectly combined breathtaking mountain views, personal memories, and genuine fun.
These two have been together for almost six years and love spending their time outdoors. Whether it’s rock climbing, hiking, or playing a round of disc golf, they’re always up for an adventure. Asheville has always been a favorite spot for them, so choosing Max Patch for their engagement session made perfect sense. It was a reflection of the life they’ve built as best friends who share a passion for exploring and trying new things.
Let’s be honest: mountain weather is unpredictable, and this day was no exception. Between the light rain, chilly air, and long drive to the top, the session had its challenges. But this couple took it all in stride. They laughed, joked, and brought so much energy that it was impossible not to have a great time. Even with the weather being a bit wild, they showed that their love—and sense of humor—could handle anything.
If you’ve ever been to Max Patch, you know the views speak for themselves. The rolling Blue Ridge Mountains create a panoramic backdrop that’s hard to beat. Despite the on-and-off rain, the scenery was stunning, and we captured moments that felt both intimate and epic. From playful poses to candid moments, these two brought the session to life with their natural chemistry and love for the outdoors.
One of the coolest moments during this session was when they brought out a pair of eclipse glasses from 2017. Early in their relationship, they watched the solar eclipse together, and bringing those glasses to the session was their way of nodding to that memory. It was a simple prop that spoke volumes about their shared history and the way they cherish the little things.
If you’re thinking about a mountain engagement session, Max Patch should be on your radar. The combination of wide-open spaces, dramatic mountain views, and the chance to capture a bit of adventure makes it a top spot. For couples like this one, who love the mountains and don’t mind a bit of unpredictability, it’s the perfect place to create engagement photos that are anything but ordinary.
This Max Patch engagement session was a great reminder that the best photos come when couples are themselves—whether that means dancing in the rain, pulling out props that tell their story, or simply laughing together. If you’re looking for a location that showcases the beauty of nature and your unique connection, Max Patch could be the perfect backdrop for your story.
