CHARLESTON, WV ENGAGEMENT SESSION | LARA-JILL & JAMES | WV WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER | ASHTON KELLEY PHOTOGRAPHY

My dad is a master of crafts and if I come up with an idea, he’s always quick to jump in and help me. This year, he built a mock tree farm in his back yard and we ran yard lights through a constructed pallet wall that doubled as a headboard for our PJ minis. I’m very grateful for him, his support, and his help! There are a lot of things, especially this year, I could not have creatively accomplished without his input and efforts.

After mini sessions had commenced, Lara-Jill and her husband joined me for a creative “engagement” session after dark. We built a cozy fire, designed a small space, and played with some off camera lighting. It’s always a pleasure to work with this talented lady, and I’m excited about some upcoming projects we have planned for the new year! Her attention to detail is exactly what the WV market craves, and she’s going to make a huge splash with brides near Charleston-I just know it! Aren’t she and James just adorable, too?
