Summer engagement at Max Patch


There’s something magical about summer in the Blue Ridge Mountains, and Max Patch — just outside of Asheville, NC — never disappoints. Its panoramic mountain views, soft light, and wide-open meadows, it’s the perfect location for a classic, romantic, and adventurous engagement session.


Recently, we had the joy of photographing Erica & Luke during their morning engagement session at Max Patch, using both film and digital photography to tell their love story with a timeless feel and artistic flair. If you're dreaming of an epic mountain backdrop for your engagement session, Max Patch is one of the most scenic spots in the Asheville, North Carolina area. Located along the Blue Ridge Parkway, the short hike to the top rewards you with endless views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. At the summit, you’ll find unobstructed mountain vistas, lush summer greenery, and gorgeous wildflowers.


Whether you're eloping in the mountains or planning a full wedding later, an engagement session at Max Patch is one of the top experiences the Blue Ridge Mountains have to offer.

We always look forward to coming back here for more engagement shoots. If you're interested in booking your own Max Patch engagement session, or want more info about film wedding photography, you can contact us here!


Juan and Emily  are Asheville wedding photographers documenting real moments between you and the people you love most — using both digital and film photography to preserve your story with heart and artistry.
