A Celebration of Love and Adventure // Digital & 120 Film


It was such a privilege to take part in Caitlyn and Chance’s celebration of an incredible milestone—their five-year wedding anniversary. The love they share is undeniable, and capturing these moments for them was an honor. For this special occasion, we chose Buchanan Shoals in Morven, North Carolina, as the backdrop, a setting that perfectly complemented their story and spirit.


Buchanan Shoals is more than just a beautiful location—it’s a hidden gem nestled in nature. The property boasts breathtaking views with towering pine trees, peaceful ponds, and serene rivers, all surrounded by some of the lushest scenery you’ll find in North Carolina. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that the landscape would offer an idyllic stage for Caitlyn and Chance’s session.


The main building, perched atop a hill, has a wrap-around porch that provides sweeping, panoramic views of the property. Standing there, you feel like you can see for miles into the distance. The vast open space, paired with the rich natural beauty, created an intimate yet epic setting—perfect for capturing both tender moments and wide, cinematic shots.


What made this session truly special was how relaxed and at home Caitlyn and Chance felt in their surroundings. We shot against the backdrop of endless greenery and open skies, with the gentle rustle of wind through the pine trees setting the tone for a peaceful, meaningful shoot.


Caitlyn and Chance’s anniversary session at Buchanan Shoals was a celebration not just of their love, but of the beauty in the journey they’ve shared together. I’m excited to share these images with them, and I look forward to seeing where life’s adventures take them next. Here’s to many more years of love, growth, and shared memories for Caitlyn and Chance!
