I drove up to Anne Elise and Phil’s house to do their eSession on a most beautiful Saturday evening. They were making dinner for me and a few of their friends and I was WAY looking forward to it. You see, Anne Elise is a world traveler, so when she emailed me asking if I liked vegetarian food, I KNEW I was in for a treat.

Well, shortly after I arrived Phil took me for a tour of this awesome house he built, tucked away in mountainous Montgomery County seclusioin. Oak timber frame construction, a rockin’ layout, and one spectacular view. I was already picking out the spots that would make for a great shoot.

It was a delicious dinner with great company….but I was having such a good time we almost missed the “magic hour”! Never fear, our hustle and scurry out the door left us plenty of time to get in some great shots.

After a few of them on the farm, we headed over to the Winter Sun in Floyd to get in few more of them enjoying one of their favorite pastimes…. the Contra Dance. My oh my, they are the experts there. Despite some lighting issues that were a little out of our control, I think we got some great shots. Both are fantastic dancers and I’m really excited to see them in action at the reception. I’m wondering…what is the first dance going to be like??

Thanks so much for a great evening Phil and Anne Elise….it was much fun!

 

we must ALWAYS watch out for itty-bitty wine thieves …
