I look forward to this vacation all year long and it never disappoints3 years ago, I went on a trip with two of my best friends to the mountains and a tradition was born. We fell completely in love with the Smokey Mountains, cozy cabins, and southern drawls. Since then, this trip has always been a trip about reconnecting with each other, getting away, and getting closer to God. Just looking at the magnitude of the mountains, makes you feel like worshiping God and getting to know him deeper. I have had an incredible year but I was so excited for a vacation. Having a few days with no agenda was exactly what I needed. So we set off early last Thursday morning with a new face in the car this time. It has always been the three of us and it works out so well. But we felt bad that it was always us girls yapping away and then Patrick being the only guy. So he invited his roommate the night before, and Brandon came and got his spontaneous road trip in. Our little group was so fun and I laughed until my stomach hurt. We didn’t do much but isn’t that the point? I got to sleep, read, relax in the hot tub, have heart to hearts with my soul sister, and laugh at the guys and their hilariousness. It was just wonderful and those few days were precious for me. We also were able to take engagement photos of Patrick and Arielle too which was amazing! Those will be coming to the blog tomorrow! And we got some shots that were seriously epic and so beautifulSo here are some snapshots from our trip! I took a lot less than I normally do because I didn’t want to be tied down to my camera. But I definitely captured some memories

I love this picture

The ice was so cool on the side of the mountain!

We got Brandon in front of the camera and he has his model face down!

We may or may not have gone to Walmart the night before and got flannel shirts and accessoriesThat is how we roll!

This was one of my favorite locations and it was literally on the side of the road! Amazing!

And here are some of our instagram shots

Look back tomorrow for Patrick & Arielle’s engagement photos!

The blog here has been a little lonely! But don’t worry because I have oh so many wonderful sessions and weddings to share with you all! I had my last wedding this past weekend and now that I can breathe again, I will be blogging more regularly
So the perfect way to kick off the blog again, is sharing some fun Halloween photos! We hosted our first party in our new home and it was sooooooo much fun. My roommates are super crafty and did an amazing job decorating as you can see. We had a great turnout and everybody dressed up which was hilarious. Typically I am not one to go all out on Halloween just because I can never think of a good costume. But when the third Marcel the Shell video came out, I got the idea to actually be Marcel. This is one of my favorite videos. I cannot stop laughing whenever I see it. So I drew up a little shell and wore it around and called it a dayLauren and Caitlin ( my roommates) even surprised me on Halloween with the Marcel the Shell book!!! I was super excited at that!

Even Zoe got in the spirit

Here’s my shell!! and our awesome photobooth we madeAs you can see coming up, it made for some fun photos!

So as we were getting ready for a group photo, these two guys covered in bodysuits came through the door. We were a little shocked(clearly) and I think my heart stopped for a second haha!


At this point I had an idea who one of the guys were, but I wasn’t sure. It was hilarious and well played on their part! They did reveal their faces and thankfully it was our friends and not some strangers!

Next thing you know, a dance party started and lasted all night long. It was the tiniest dance floor ever, but we had a good time
