Highlands & Old Edwards Inn

Highlands, NC, is the perfect backdrop for an engagement session, especially for couples who love a mix of luxury and natural beauty. Nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains, this charming town is home to Old Edwards Inn and Farm, one of the most high-end wedding venues in the state. We spent the afternoon exploring the picturesque streets of Highlands, capturing moments against the backdrop of its cozy shops, mountain views, and elegant resorts. With its storybook charm and crisp mountain air, every corner felt like a scene from a fairytale—almost like stepping into Halloweentown, but with a romantic twist.

This Highlands, NC engagement session was a dream to photograph, from the timeless elegance of Old Edwards Inn to the warm, inviting atmosphere of the town’s hidden gems. Highlands offers an unmatched blend of sophistication and mountain charm, making it a perfect location for couples who want both luxury and natural beauty in their engagement photos. Whether wandering through the town’s historic streets or soaking in the breathtaking scenery, every moment was filled with warmth, love, and the magic that makes Highlands a top destination for engagement and wedding photography.
