I’m a true romantic at heart, and It fills me with so much joy to know that I get to work with so many amazing couples like you.
There’s something about golden hour in the South that feels like a deep breath warm, still, and a little nostalgic. That’s exactly what this Georgia couple session with Olivia and Blythe was made of. Set on their family’s private property in North Georgia, we celebrated eight years of marriage (and twelve years of being completely smitten with each other) in a way that felt effortlessly them, quiet laughter, and their favorite yellow airplane resting behind us like a chapter marker in their love story!
Olivia and Blythe are the kind of couple who remind you that true love is often wrapped in the unexpected. They met in college through mutual friends, and while Olivia admits she didn’t think much of Blythe at first (maybe even found him a little annoying, lol), one spontaneous wedding date later had her spinning across the dance floor and laughing until her cheeks hurt. The rest, as they say, was history. Four years of dating, a post-grad wedding two weeks after college, and now eight years of marriage with a beautiful family, pups, and a deep love for simple, slow living outdoors.
When Olivia told me that flying in their small plane is one of their favorite pastimes just cruising low and slow over the trees, soaking in the views together, I knew we had to incorporate it into their shoot. It’s not just a prop; it’s a piece of their story. That yellow Cessna has seen date nights, weekend adventures, and countless quiet moments where life feels full and free.
We spent the afternoon in a field of wildflowers, with warm light pouring across the sky and not a single rush in the air. Olivia wore a soft periwinkle dress that caught the breeze just right, and Blythe looked at her like it was still that first wedding they danced through. They were playful and silly running, twirling, teasing, holding each other like they didn’t want time to move too fast. It felt like watching best friends who just happened to fall in love!
This session had that old-money ease and editorial beauty without ever trying too hard. It was joy tucked into every hug and humor in every glance. They climbed into the cockpit, kissed on the wings, and slow-danced in the grass. Every frame felt like a love letter to the life they’ve built and the adventures still ahead. Even if this wasn’t your typical engagement or milestone shoot. It was just as meaningful a reminder that celebrating your love doesn’t need a reason or a big event. Sometimes, it’s just about pausing long enough to remember how much you adore the person standing beside you.
Whether you’re eight years in or just getting started, your love story deserves to be remembered like this soft, honest, and totally you. Let’s plan something playful, personal, and full of sunshine. I’m always down to dance in a field, fly over the trees, or just capture the way you look at each other when no one else is watching! So, ready for me to capture your dream session?
