Recently I’ve been starting off engagement sessions with beer and it’s awesome. I met up with Jenny and Eliot at Catawba Brewing on the South Slope in downtown Asheville and we chatted about wedding plans, local beers, and all of our weirdest wedding stress dreams (they’re very real people). After sampling a flight we headed down to DuPont National Forest for some sweet waterfall action. Jenny LOVES waterfalls so we went to two! It was amazing. The weather was perfect, the company was great, and the way these two love each other was just so sweet. Congrats Jenny and Eliot, I can’t wait for your wedding in May!
