Mary and Clay – Biltmore Estate
So you know how sometimes everything goes so beautifully you just want to pinch yourself? That was how I felt on Saturday. Walking in to the bridal suite and meeting Mary made my day! She was so sweet and sincere and I’ll just say it… stunning.
We had gorgeous weather at the Biltmore Estate. The bride and groom wanted to shoot their pictures before the ceremony and that gave us more time to wander the grounds and get some amazing stuff! I was so thankful for the occasional cloud that helped with my shooting in the early afternoon hours. 
Mary and Clay, thank you for having me. Your love was a beautiful thing to witness.
When I have a couple who takes their pics before the wedding, I always stage a meeting between the two of them…
I like to keep the moment intimate.
i couldn’t help but have fun with the bridal party… in the corn.
The Purple Iris did a beautiful job on the floral.
Katy, Mary's Dad and I are astounded at the beauty and artistry of your photos! I know this is just a sample, but they far exceed our expectations! Can't wait for more! You truly, as Mary stated, have a "divine gift". Your photos are pure poetry. Most Gratefully, Julie

Katy, where do I start…
I saw on your blog where you told someone that it was not hard to photograph such a beautiful couple…basically you were giving us all the credit. Thank you, but come on lets be honest,you have a divine talent! When you walked in my hotel, I felt like I was your best friend…not because we hired you, but because you showed a true interest. Your presence was calming, uplifting and reassuring. You bustled about smiling and snapping away. I wish every bride could have a Katy Cook! I know this is a sneak peak of whats to come, and I can’t wait.
