Engagement Photoshoot on Roan Mountain: A Blue Ridge Adventure


Nestled on the line of North Carolina and Tennessee, Roan Mountain is one of the most breathtaking gems of the Blue Ridge. It’s an area known for its rolling mist, wildflower meadows, and insane overlooks — and it was the perfect backdrop for this adventurous couple’s engagement photoshoot.

What made this session even more special? The addition of four lovable dogs! These pups were not just adorable accessories to the shoot, but integral members of the family, bringing their energy and love to every frame. From playful romps to sweet moments of snuggles, they definitely added a fun, personal touch to the day.

After a short but scenic hike up the mountain trail, we reached one of my all-time favorite overlooks in the area. The panoramic views of the Blue Ridge stretched endlessly, creating the most stunning backdrop for their photos. The couple was beyond thrilled with the setting — and who could blame them? The golden sunlight, dramatic skies, and sweeping mountain vistas created the perfect atmosphere for intimate moments and playful shots.

This engagement session is a beautiful reminder of why I love working in the Blue Ridge. The combination of nature, adventure, and love makes for photos that are timeless and meaningful, capturing not just a couple’s story, but the place where their journey begins. Whether you’re hiking up a mountain with your dogs or simply taking in a sunset, Roan Mountain is truly a magical place for a photoshoot — one I’ll never tire of.
