The Heartbeat of Engage!13 : Beyond a Professional Conference for Luxury Wedding Professionals.
I recently had the opportunity to photograph the Engage!13 Conference at the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, NC. The conference is the brainchild of Rebecca Grinnals and Kathryn Arce.
It's a place where the best of the best in the luxury wedding industry convene for three days of speakers, amazing parties, and networking.
What has brought me back every time are the relationships.
Despite the fact that many there are in direct competition for clients, the spirit of collaboration and friendship abounds.
I was lucky enough to collaborate with a photography 'dream team' composed of Carla Ten Eyck, Allan Zepeda and Andrew Henderson. Parker J Pfister shot with us as well. I've linked you to all of their sites below because you should check out their work if you haven't already.

Beyond being a fun experience combining five studios it was a chance to explore creatively and learn from my colleagues.
Below are some images which embody the essence of Engage!. The moments that keep this girl returning again and again.
I should load this post up with explanations of each image, but I feel like the images should speak for themselves here. To quote an admired friend, Michelle Rago, this is the "heartbeat of Engage"
Enjoy.
