HEY! WE'RE BLACK MOUNTAIN (AKA HARRISON + HALEY AND OUR TEAM).
We are lifestyle photographers and cinematographers based out of Tennessee. We are a married couple that is passionate about love, laughter, and happily ever after - but for real, we adore our couples and families and weddings/elopements are our jam. We also love Jesus, each other, traveling, tacos, and being outdoors. We are completely obsessed with our baby girls (Charlie and Stevie), devoted doggy parents to Henley and Hero, chocolate chip cookies are our weakness, and we have a tradition of getting Firehouse and watching the Bachelor every Monday night. We are blessed to share this passion and chase this dream together, while getting to capture incredible couples.
We are summer camp sweethearts and fell in love working FUGE Camps in a place called Black Mountain, North Carolina. We started shooting weddings together while we were dating, got married in October of 2015, and have been on this crazy, awesome journey together ever since! We have been blessed to capture over 350 weddings and elopements, as well as countless couples shoots and adventure sessions. We are passionate about capturing love stories and beyond grateful for the couples who have entrusted us with theirs.
We see each of our couples and families as individuals and want to capture everything that makes your story unique. Our desire is to capture what is real. Our shooting style is not formal or very pose-y, but we will still capture those magical money shots. Our goal is to capture real life interactions. We want you to feel comfortable to be yourself in front of our lens, because we want to show the world who you are and what makes your relationship special. Our goal is to help your personalities to come out in front of the camera.
Give us all the belly laughs where you throw your head back and can hardly catch your breath. We want to catch the tears welling up in your eyes when you are fully living in the moment with your favorite people on your special day. Let's freeze the way you melt into his arms and the way he smiles when you relax into him. How you chase each other around the house and slap each other on the booty. The way your eyes dance when they tell you how they feel about you. We want it all - the sweet, genuine, soft, quirky, weird, hilarious, unique, playful interactions. Let's make some magic together.
