Wedding at The Cedars in Hendersonville, NC

wedding at the cedars
The Cedars in Hendersonville, NC is a wonderful place for a wedding. I say that because that is where I had my wedding 11 years ago, plus Sarah and Mark chose it for theirs. There are so many wonderful moments from this day and I must say that Sarah is the greatest bride ever. She didn't miss a beat that day, even when the power went out in the church just before the ceremony. They moved it to another room in the church where it had a little more light and just a bit cooler. And just before she walked down the aisle it came back on! Some of my favorite parts of the day are the getting ready. These are especially cute with her and her mom dancing once she is in her dress.

Lioncrest Wedding at Biltmore Estate

Bride and Groom at Biltmore Estate Lake
Lindsey and Tommy were married at Lioncrest on the Biltmore Estate in Asheville NC. I just loved her pink accents throughout the wedding, especially her shoes!!!! My cheeks hurt so bad after this wedding because they had me smiling and laughing so much that day. A fun bridal party mixed with a great location and wonderful vendors = perfect wedding! Lindsey and Tommy had their first meet at Lioncrest and then we drove around the estate for some fun shots. I love it when we have time to play, especially at Biltmore, where there are so many areas with gorgeous settings. classic car at Biltmore

Wedding Hill at Highland Lake Inn

wedding portrait at Highland Lake Inn
What an amazing day! Jane and Justin were married on wedding hill at Highland Lake Inn. Her vision for the wedding was vintage romance and she totally pulled it off with the help of Stacy at The Bloom Room. Her colors wer pink, yellow, and ivory with the guys in gray suits and matching ties. So beautiful! There were so many images that I want to share but you would be here all day waiting for them to load, so I had to narrow them down to just a few favs. I cannot begin to tell you what a wonderful family they have. They really touched my heart.

They chose to have a 1st meet before the wedding so they could have that special moment just the two of them. I love the look on Justin's face as she walks up behind him!

Since they had the 1st meet, we were able to do all the family photos before the ceremony. That allowed them have just a few moments afterward to themselves and have time for a few couple photos around Highland Lake Inn. Here is one of my favorites of Jane's attendants!

Grand Bohemian and Crest Pavilion Wedding

Grand Bohemian Hotel Wedding Photos
OMG! What an awesome day this was! Katheryn and Justin began their wedding day at the Grand Bohemian Hotel in Asheville NC. This is such a fantastic location! Too many places for photos! They each had their own room for getting ready. Anthony, from As the Chair Turns Salon on Wall Street in Asheville, was the stylist that has magic hands to create masterpieces! He was wonderful! Once everyone was ready Katheryn and Justin had a first meet in the ballroom. It was perfect! We then took some family and bridal party photos there at the Bohemian, because Katheryn and Justin wanted to join in at the cocktail hour. Check out the awesome photos from the Bohemian!

And then it was off to the ceremony...with a little rumble in the sky. Once we arrived to the Crest Center Pavilion it was raining, so they moved everything inside. Even with the rain it was still a beautiful ceremony. I just love how the staff at Crest are always on top of their game. Ready for anything! Here are some favorites:

And finally two more vendors that I must mention because they are super fab are the florist and cake/cupcake baker. Blossoms at Biltmore Park and Tiffany's Baking Co. are some of the best in the industry. They should be categorized under the MUST HAVE FOR WEDDING heading :) Thank you all, especially Katheryn and Justin for such an amazing day!
