This quirky styled shoot was inspired by real-life couple, Amanda and Haley and their mutual love of Harry Potter. At The Weyanoke boutique hotel in Farmville, VA, the shoot utilized earthy tones and included odes to quidditch, the Weasley’s flying car, Hogwarts, wands, and more.
Photographer Carley York wrote that she loved to see the couple “ooze love for each other’s mutual weirdness.”
After the shoot, Amanda and Haley even ended up eloping at Disney World!
