Asheville photography: Ashley and Michael, Biltmore Estate

We had a blast photographing Ashley and Michael in Asheville on Sunday. Michael is a photographer himself, so the pressure was ON! They both knew how to work it and made for a very easy and relaxed session. Take a look at some of the highlights of the day. We had a very difficult time selecting which ones to blog... scroll down to see why!
