Melissa and Derrick Engagement Session Roan Mountain
It was such a pleasure to meet up with Melissa and Derrick for their Engagement Session on Roan Mountain. No matter what time of year I get up there, the conditions are always different. For me, honestly, it is part of the fun of shooting up on the mountain.
The ever-changing conditions test me as a photographer and really make every couples’ photos just slightly different and unique.
I met Melissa and Derrick through Facebook and Melissa immediately showed interest in my photos. She straight up told me, “Hunter… this is exactly what I want for my wedding!” It feels good when couples feel so strongly about my work. 🙂
So we scheduled the Adventure Engagement Session on Roan Mountain for November 8, 2020. It ended up being a super beautiful day… not too cold. Just right in fact. Pretty typical wind speeds that ad a little extra to the shots, but clear skies and great color in that sunset.
Be sure to make it all the way through the Q&A from Melissa and Derrick and check out the FULL GALLERY below.
