Amy and Brent's Lake Toxaway Wedding

Happy Monday! I have TOO many photos from Amy and Brent's super fun wedding at Meadow Ridge in Lake Toxaway that I want to show you. Seriously, choosing a select hand full to share is SHEER TORTURE! It's not just that Amy and Brent planned a pretty wedding at a gorgeous location with perfect attention to every little detail...but the whole group was a walking party! People had the time of their lives at every moment of this wedding.

This Wedding Party...

This Truly Wonderful Couple!!! Aren't they adorable and don't their smiles just make you think fun, romance and a future of happiness?

A few incredible details...

A canoe for the beverages is completely logical and totally clever for a lake wedding! Especially when being on the water is a favorite of the couple!

No words to describe... Except maybe... Or.... Nope, this crowd leaves me speechless!

A beautiful goodbye...

Alicia and John's Wedding on the Biltmore Estate

Alicia and John's romantic wedding took us on a beautiful tour of some of my favorite Biltmore Estate locations. The bride and groom enjoyed an intimate wedding, celebrating their day with the people who mean the very most to them. Alicia and John created a perfectly unique wedding full of personal details. Their happiness spilled over onto everyone around them!

This guys steals the show! Who could resist that face?!

 

Sweetness & Light, Sugar & Spice!

I'm such a pushover for a vintage vehicle. Elite Limousine's fleet provides some of the best selections in our region!

Sometimes you just have to give in to the emotions of the moment...

These cakes are fabulous! The Biltmore pastry chefs are artists!

When they say a picture is worth a thousand words, they are talking about a picture like this one! Alicia's smile reflects all the happiness and romance of this intimate wedding.

Julianne and Jonathan's Wedding at The Grand Bohemian Asheville

Julianne and Jonathan celebrated their marriage with incredible elegance and grace, while finding the FUN in every single second. As always, choosing the photos to show you from the wedding was So Hard!!! But choosing the photos from this wedding was particularly challenging because the moments I want to show you jump from photos worthy of a styled shoot (doesn't this bride look like a model???) to show-stopping hilarity! Here are my top choices so you can see for yourself what a great day we had.

Awesome mugs make AWESOME gifts for the groomsmen!

One of my favorite shots. These guys were so genuine, fun and made everyone's day a little better!

Loved that he kissed her hand before putting the ring on her finger. Such a gentleman!

This cake...Another Karen Donatelli masterpiece. The fresh flowers from Flower Gallery came in such amazing hues, they hardly looked real!

The normally sedate and completely traditional mother son dance got a toss-up as all the groomsmen broke in for a turn dancing with this sweet mama.

And a father daughter dance that would bring a smile to anyone's face.

The band is incredible! Can't you just HEAR them?!?? What fun we had!

Check it out. Julianne and Jonathan wanted to be sure no one left hungry...so they provided a hot dog stand... a HOT DOG STAND! at the end of the night. This is going to be a tough ending to top.

Sweet goodbyes...

Wedding at Boyd Chapel and the Grand Bohemian

Kelly and Paul's wedding was full of sweet details and even sweeter moments. From ceremony to reception, the couple relished every moment of their wedding at the Boyd Chapel and the Grand Bohemian.

So many pretty details!

A tender ceremony at Boyd Chapel.

One of my favorites! Kelly's family loves her sooooo much. You could see it in every gesture and hear it in every word. 

We couldn't resist a fun outdoor shot on their perfectly sunny wedding day!

And they danced!!!

Introducing the groom's grandma. Isn't she fabulous??

Kelly's Father brought a tear to her eye (along with the rest of us) when he gave the toast. Kelly's mother passed away when she was a child. Her father recalled playing My Little Pony with Kelly along with other sweet memories of single parenting. Kelly went on to graduate top of her class from law school and passed the Board on her first try! Her daddy is so proud of her and you can imagine, she is a daddy's girl all the way. Kelly met Paul at the University of Boulder Colorado. It always touches me to hear a couple's story and how every single detail comes together to make a beautiful picture.

Wishing Kelly and Paul all the best and a lifetime of happiness!
