The story begins here....I got an e-mail a few weeks ago from Heather's husband Graydon, that went like this:
Daniel and Candice,
"This is Graydon Tomlinson from ..... I was hoping that I could book a session as a gift to my wife for our 1 year anniversary. My wife found out about your blog and photography and has been following you there. She is a huge fan of yours, and I think she would absolutely love the chance to have you capture the end of our first year as a married couple! Our anniversary is .... and we will be going to the Biltmore Estate Inn to celebrate. Thanks for your time and I look forward to hearing from you!"
SO SWEET! As we swapped e-mails, we planned to meet at the Biltmore Estate at the South Terrace and surprise Heather there at 4:30 sharp just in time for sunset. I had never met either of them before...so I just sat under the vineyard next to the house chatting with my hubby on the phone (so wishing he could have joined me on the most GORGEOUS fall day). I texted Graydon to let him know I was in 'pocket' waiting to surprise her.
They walk around the corner from the house and he walked right up to me and introduced himself. Heather stood there with such confusion, surprise and just held her mouth open for a good minute.
Now ladies...you know you've got a good man when you say this, "I only mentioned it one time...and you remembered...I can't believe you remembered!" Great job Graydon! I pray that all of your years to come will continue to be as special as this one!

I want to high school with Graydon! haha what a small world.
Those are awesome as usual. I love the fall as a backdrop for pictures. Hmm... maybe next year we'll do a 12 years going strong shoot.
Love it!!!
I love YOUR blog-it's amazing!! You guys are so talented it's crazy. If the economy picks up by our 3 year anniversary I would LOVE you guys to take our pics if you're available-we would be too lucky! :)
Love these, Candice. Looks beautiful with the fall leaves! My fave is the one of them dancing (?) in b&w beneath the stairs.
Thanks Y'all!! They were such a fun couple to shoot! We ended up with so many more shots (that I haven't even posted)..... The Biltmore is such an amazing location.
@Kelly--isn't it? Do we know each other...I have several Kelly's that I'm friends with and wasn't sure if you were one of them...
