We were invited to come to Iceland by the incredible Brain & Maria of 222Photography based in Columbus, Ohio to be the photographers for their destination ten year vow renewal. This left us speechless as we know that they're exceptional and seasoned photographers themselves and have many friends who are equally as talented. The fact that they decided to ask us is an honor that we do not take for granted. We're excited to share those images on this blog in the future, so please subscribe if you'd like to see more.

In the White Mountains with Mikayla & Luke

Hidden in New Hampshire's White Mountains like a diamond in the rough, we found a trail to Mount Willard Point in Crawford Notch State Park. After hiking a steady incline for a bit less than 2 miles, up ahead, we could finally see a clearing in the woodland. As we walked the final stretch of path, the air was calm and moist, causing the earth to delight our senses with its cedar aroma. Just before making it to the top, a returning hiker warned us of the extreme wind that we were about to encounter. And then, stepping from beneath the trees onto the precipitous rocky cliff, we were blasted with damp clouds and stunned by wonder.

5 Reasons We Love Atmosphere Aerosol 'Fog in a Can'

Several months later, at a proposal shoot our friend and videographer, Daniel, pulled out an aerosol can and started spraying it in the air, filling the forest with a gorgeous environmental haze. Amazed by this ‘magic fog in a can,’ we asked Daniel about it. He explained that it’s called Atmosphere Aerosol, the brainchild of Knoxville wedding photographers Joe and Kathleen Adkins. As soon as we got home, I got online, and excitedly ordered a case of twelve cans.

We now add its rad effects in various sessions. Through trial and error, and a lot of practice, we have been able to meet a variety of looks using this unconventional product. In our review below, we give tips on using it, and five reasons why you should have a can of Atmosphere Aerosol in your camera bag too.

The Most Beautiful AirBnB Family Wedding in Ohio

As their family members arrived at Terrapin Village, they drove down into the valley and saw sights of a historical covered bridge over a pristine dammed creek and a waterfall cascading over its stones. On the right stood a red-roofed mill house, shaded by towering sycamore trees. Just rustic enough to give it that aged charm, the mill house was in every way a pleasing ascetic to the eyes. Its wooden floors, stone fireplace, gigantic beams and huge cross paned windows, allowing the rooms to be filled with natural light, added to its appeal.

There is always a deeper picture in creation. A way to remind us of relationship, and ultimately perfect restoration and harmony.
