erica + jacob | WINTER MOUNTAINTOP SESSION
So lucky to have had the most wonderful community come together for this little pet project of mine. In the middle of wedding season (a classic joke – “it’s ALWAYS wedding season”), my good friend Jennifer and I decided we wanted to get together and practice our portraits. Well, Jennifer wanted to practice her portraits. I just wanted to hang out with Jennifer – ha! We dreamed big, then bigger, then pulled together a mood board of berry hues and mountain scenery. We shared our thoughts with our networks and somehow wound up working together with a multi-talented design team of creatives and makers, all in pursuit of our #wintermountaintop dreams.. check out the amazing heart and love that went into all the details with the vendor credits at the end of this post!
Along the way, we also picked up our session giveaway contest winners, Erica and Jacob, a real-life married couple from Tennessee, who dropped everything to make the trek down. They fit their roles in our session perfectly and brought the magic!
Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy, and make sure to stick around to the end to peep Theory Y Design’s incredible video of our styled engagement session.

Her dress! I am loving the color of her dress bringing enriching the color of winter. And her headpiece is to die for! Stunning light in these photos.
Everything about this session is stunning. The location for one. on a mountaintop! thats amazing. The flowers are gorgeous I love her headpiece and the florals they had around them. The lighting was so soft and lovely. The couple is just beautiful. This is simply a dream session. I can’t get over the way her beautiful dress just pops in all these images. Simply swoon.
Oh… Cassie Xie Photography sweeps me away again. I LOVE your styled sessions, and this winter mountain top photography session is no exception. Great work and keep sharing <3
Raising the bar for all engagement shoots! This stylized shoot is literally perfect! Beautiful photography, editing, clothing, props, people, everything! I’m in love.
Beautiful winter mountain top session! Love the gorgeous sunlight, colors, details, posing. The “Will you marry me” banner is great and will give your future brides and grooms a great idea for a save the date. Wonderful job!
You are a gem! Everything about that day was charming, enchanting and lovely. Thanks for letting us take part in the day. It was an absolute dream.
