Wedding Hill 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.

I just love this image and she turns around with her veil on and Mom is so happy!

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!

Can you just feel the love!!!!

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!

And you all know how I LOVE me some details!!!!

Can you just see what a fun group was there!!!

Thank you Jane and Justin! And thank you to those who helped make this day possible!

Grand Bohemian and Crest Pavilion Wedding

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:

Just after the ceremony the rain cleared and we had a chance to go outside and play! I just love these ribbons Katheryn made!

Some fun details!

And of course some photo booth FUN!

The Firecracker Jazz band played all night keeping the dance floor hopin'! It was too much fun!

And a perfect end to a perfect day!

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!

Cliffs at Glassy Chapel Wedding Photos

You remember Kevin and Alex from a few posts back. They were married at the Cliffs at Glassy Chapel. Well, it poured the rain all day on their wedding day. So, we had a "2nd wedding day" and were able to capture some really awesome images. The view is why they selected the chapel, so we had to make sure to have these images to include in their album. It is such a magnificent location. So excited to share these!

Inn on Biltmore Estate Wedding and Lioncrest Reception

Joanne and Darrel were married at The Inn on Biltmore Estate and had their reception at Lioncrest. It was a day filled with LOTS of laughter and tears. I cried so hard during the father daughter dance, that I was so thankful for auto focus on my camera. My eyes were sooooo blurry I couldn't see anything. As she stood up with her mom and dad as the song started to play I lost it. You will see the image below. The song...American Soldier by Toby Keith.So here are a few from the day. Enjoy!

Thank you Joanne and Darrel! It was an honor to work with you.

Wedding at Lake Murray, SC

Meet Rachel and Dave! A super fun couple! Their wedding was held lakeside at Dave mother's home. It was beautiful! Nearby was an old mill that Rachel had seen and knew we had to photograph there. If only I could spend the entire day there with them...But we only had a few minutes and they were smokin' HOT! Not to mention the weather was too, but it was still perfect! Here are a few sneak peeks from the day..

I just love this detail she added to her dress!

Off to get married!


The blessing of the rings.


You may kiss your bride! Somebody is happy!

I heart Rachel and Dave!!!!
