Winter Engagement Session at The Greenbrier Resort | Haylee & Matthew
Some love stories just feel extra special to tell, and Haylee and Matthew’s is one of them. These two are recently engaged and already share one of life’s sweetest roles—being parents to their beautiful baby boy. When they started dreaming up their winter engagement session, they knew they wanted a location that felt elegant, romantic, and just a little bit magical.
Enter The Greenbrier Resort in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia.
Why The Greenbrier Was the Perfect Choice
The moment you arrive at The Greenbrier, it feels like you’ve stepped into another world. The grand Georgian architecture makes a statement before you even walk inside. And once you do? You’re met with the iconic Modern Baroque design. It is characterized by bold patterns, saturated colors, and a sense of grandeur that’s become synonymous with the property. It’s no wonder this place has been called “America’s Resort” for centuries.
For Haylee and Matthew’s Greenbrier Resort engagement photos, the setting was exactly what they had envisioned: part history, part high-end style, and all romance. The resort’s mix of sweeping staircases, light-filled ballrooms, and cozy corners gave us endless variety for their portraits, from soft and intimate moments to those with full-on Old Hollywood vibes.
A Session Full of Warmth (Inside and Out)
It may have been winter in the mountains of West Virginia, but we stayed warm thanks to roaring fireplaces and the joy these two share. Haylee looked stunning in her fashion-forward mini dress, complete with a large bow in the back. Matthew complemented her perfectly in a tailored suit—proof that engagement photo outfits can be both comfortable and elevated.
We took advantage of both the grand indoor spaces and the wintery landscape outside. Inside, the vivid backdrops felt like they belonged on a movie set, while outside, the crisp air and mountain views brought a peaceful stillness to their images. That balance of luxury and natural beauty is what makes The Greenbrier Resort such a dream for destination engagement photography.
Why We Love Shooting at The Greenbrier
- Variety: From lavish ballrooms to sunlit terraces, it’s a photographer’s playground.

Haylee and Matthew’s Greenbrier Resort engagement session was more than just a photoshoot—it was a celebration of love, family, and the start of a new chapter. And for me, it was such an honor to document their story in a place that’s as rich in beauty as it is in history.
