This proposal inside Biltmore Estate’s conservatory was beautiful! Being surrounded by plant life, bright flowers, and warm air on a very cold winter’s day, is the perfect way to get engaged!
On this cold day in December, our high temperature for the day was -25°F with wind chill. This sure threw a wrench in my plans to capture outdoor photo shoots. Not only would my clients be all bundled up in winter coats, they would also be holding their shoulders high, their cheeks would be red, their eyes would be watering, and they wouldn’t be able to stand still in the cold. In addition to that, there is no guarantee that camera equipment will work at that low temperature. There are simply too many electronic and mechanical components that could fail.
As you know, I always get it done, and get it done well. So, back up plans were used, and for this proposal at Biltmore Estate, that meant moving to inside the beautiful on site conservatory greenhouse. Andrew asked Cate to marry him in the intimate orchid room, and it was beautiful! Her big smile said it all!
After the proposal, we took more photos in the conservatory’s rooms. From the potting room to the Cool House, and more, it was such a beautiful space to capture Cate and Andrew’s love!
At the very end of our time together, we popped outside for less than 3 minutes to capture a few engagement photos in the freezing cold walled garden. It was risky, but worth it! A few photos in front of the conservatory’s grand doors, and a few photos in the rose garden with Biltmore house peeking out above the trees, were a perfect addition to this perfect day!
I loved capturing this proposal, and all of Cate’s excitement as she said “Yes!” It was a beautiful moment and I love that we were surrounded by so many amazing plants!
Congratulations again, you two!
