Our Story
Hi there! We’re James and Kate, the owners of Beautiful Life Films & Photography. Kate’s a native of NC, James is from Mississippi, and we met at college in Ohio! We got hitched in Asheville in 2003 and are blessed with 3 vivacious kids we homeschool. We’re so grateful to call North Carolina home, and we’re constantly inspired by the beauty of these Blue Ridge Mountains!
James's skill and dependability flow from his solid grounding in his Communication Arts degree, his years of experience with cutting edge technology and techniques, and his simultaneous grasp of the organic, humorous, and authentic. His passion for capturing life's cherished moments, surrounded by the natural beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains, fills every frame of his work, to preserve memories and moments that are priceless.
Kate combines an unerring eye for gorgeous, evocative shots with an aesthetic that suggests the slightly ethereal. Growing up in Western NC, a love of beauty is a natural part of her personality, and one that she truly enjoys sharing with the couples she works with.
