A Wedding + Lifestyle photographer based in NC, with a love for all things romantic, joyful and timeless. Here on the blog you'll find my weddings + lifestyle portraits, tips for bride and grooms, and my latest personal adventures! Thank you for stopping by and enjoy!
This is always one of my favorite posts of the year! For one, it brings back the sweetest memories of each wedding we captured in 2018 and secondly, it always cracks me up! I honestly can’t believe I’m sharing some of these images – but hey, it just reminds everyone how good lighting and proper posing are important! Lord knows Mitchell loves to capture THE WORST photos of me when I’m not paying attention! 2018 was our first full season in Asheville, NC and it did not let us down! We became preferred vendors at Chestnut Ridge – a GORGEOUS new venue in Canton, NC. We were blessed to capture 5 weddings at that venue alone, and a total of 13 weddings this year – all while taking some time off as we welcomed our baby girl into the world! Through this amazing opportunity we developed new relationships with other vendors on their team and absolutely LOVED working alongside so much talent in the Asheville area! We are even more excited for 2019 and all that it will bring for Amber Hatley Photography! The Asheville wedding industry has been so kind and welcomed us with open arms! Well, what are you waiting for… take a peek into our life behind the camera and feel free to laugh at us, we don’t mind! xoxo
I spent the majority of this wedding season pregnant, waddling around in the heat!
Just needed a little break to fill some baby kicks during the reception 😉
making phone calls – and showing off that bump!
pointing at people, telling them where to go & apparently day dreaming, too
Mitchell being creative….
“gotta go, gotta go, gotta go right now”… probably in a hurry to find the closest restroom. pregnancy and potty breaks are no joke! Ha!
Where’s Amber?!
“LINE UP YOUR TOES!”
Detail shots make me so happy!!
Daniel’s face …. haha!
This was my last wedding before baby girl. It was.so.very.hot!!!!!
This honestly makes me miss being pregnant… I’m weird like that. I just love baby bumps!!
Probably being attacked by misquitos!
AND NOW… The REAL MVP… My hottie husband!!
The master dress fluffer....
keeping me company on many, many hikes… let’s be honest, I don’t like hiking without him. What if I see a snake? or a bear??
Probably the highlight of his photography career was driving Chestnut Ridge’s mule
Caught ya!
Can you test my light set up?!
Veil Fluffer….
Easy on the eyes…
Bouquet guard…
Sometimes we take Haddon and they play together while mommy takes pictures! Be still my heart!
Not sure who is cuter… actually, I am 😉
The BEST company!
He really is the best!!
Where’s Mitchell?
A few moments with some of our favorite vendors! Mingle Events is always working SO hard for their couples and we adore them!
Morgan Scott Films … incredibly talented and creative!
Taylor Gregg, owner of Chestnut Ridge – she juggles ALL things and does it with so much grace!!
Ending the year without a bump and a baby girl to snuggle with post weddings!
Gosh, I love our brides!! I feel like a best friend when I show up to their day!
Such an honor to capture the incredible ENGAGED team!
When we take family photos for friends, Haddon gets to come along and play with the big kids !
