I am so so excited to share Tara & Mitchell’s anniversary photos at Drayton Hall from the summer! Tara works at Drayton Hall and this is the second time I’ve gotten to photograph her in this historic plantation. You can see her Drayton Hall bridal portraits here!
Tara & I joked that this was really a shoot to commemorated OUR 1 year friendiversary which was July 2nd (-; I couldn’t have asked for a better way to celebrate with this amazing lady! This photo shoot was also being used as a trial run for Drayton Hall to open back up for photo shoots – so the pressure was ON! But I work well under pressure so its all good.
It was hot inside the house as its summer time and theres no AC. Tara & Mitchell were absolute stars about the heat and didn’t complain one bit. It was also really quiet and since we were the only people there (it was closed to the public at this time) it felt like we OWNED the place. Or at least it felt like THEY owned the place and graciously invited me into their home haha they were the ones dressed all fancy after all! Tara also gave me some history – she said that the family used to use the front portico as an entertainment space and the band would be on the uptairs balcony playing music to serenade everyone! So with that visual, I asked them to dance for me (-;
