Dodging 1,000 photobombers

Today's image comes to us from the Biltmore Estate in Asheville North Carolina.  It is the largest private residence built by George Vanderbilt.  It is 8,000 acres of beauty!

The Biltmore Estate was always a dream location for Neal, and last year, it came true. The Bride grew up in Asheville and was having her wedding at the Biltmore. She wanted us to shoot the wedding! We were so excited! If you know anything about the Biltmore Estate, then you are probably familiar with the mansion on the property. If not, check it out! The Estate is a huge tourist spot. We also had the honor to work with an awesome husband and wife videography studio called Heart Stone Films. This was actually our second time working with them.  And the wedding planner that put this whole even together, Mary Bell Events, was amazing!

So on the wedding day, it was packed with thousands of people. Try taking a photo with at least a thousand people in the background. Instead of staying in the front of the mansion where everyone was, we ventured to other areas. Neal stumbled upon this beautiful pillard walkway and we had to stop. Originally, we had the bride facing us. It looked great, but we knew it could look better. The bride had an amazing train on her dress, so we had her turn around. Neal positioned her and had her bring up her flowers slightly. With a slight look to the right, Neal knew he got the shot.

Going to a location like this was unforgettable. Even though it was a huge tourist area, we were still able to create amazing images for the couple.
