We had an exceptionally marvelous time at this Biltmore Estate wedding with Heather and Ben and all their wonderful guests. The wedding took place on Saturday at the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina and this perfect day started with everyone getting ready at the Inn on Biltmore Estate. E. Scott Thompson and his crew with Makeup at Grove Arcade did a fantastic job with the ladies’ makeup, while the gents prepared for the ceremony in their stylish suits just one room over. The wedding ceremony was on the Vista at the Inn on Biltmore with breathtaking mountain scenery. It wasn’t our first time photographing a ceremony here but it’s still amazing every time we see it!

Following the ceremony guests headed to the Lioncrest venue to party all night long at the reception. And let me tell you, these folks knew how to get down and dance! K2 out of Greensboro took care of the DJ’ing and the dance floor was full during every song. Tunes ranging from the Twist to the Macarena (yes, people still know it) to Outkast got the guests on their feet to celebrate this joyous occasion with Heather and Ben. Several of our teaser photos from this Biltmore Estate wedding feature the work of Link Johnsten from Eau Gallie Florist. He is a long time friend of the bride’s family and traveled from Florida with all his arrangements to decorate the venues. Quite lovely! We want to give a huge thank you to Nicole and the entire Biltmore catering staff for all their help. Things ran so smoothly and that is just what a happy couple-in-love deserves on their big day! The chemistry between Heather and Ben causes sparks and we are blessed to be their photographers.

Enjoy the photography from their wedding, and as always feel free to leave a comment.

We had an amazing time on Saturday at Abby and Jacob’s wedding at Lake Eden Events. Lake Eden is in Black Mountain, North Carolina and is well known for the Arts Festival, LEAF. It’s fitting they chose it as their wedding venue because Abby and Jacob are both musicians! During the reception the newlyweds even got on stage for a song and rocked out with the band, Orange Krush. The energy and emotion of the day was off the charts and we were fortunate to be the photographers for this Lake Eden wedding.

Because we are always anxious to share photos from weddings we photograph, here are a few teaser images from their big day! We hope you like ‘em, and be sure to check back shortly for a full write-up and info on all the vendors involved with this gorgeous Black Mountain wedding! Thanks to Flora for the cute mustache props and fantastic floral designs you see throughout the pictures. Also cheers to Shay Brown Events and many thanks to Abby and Jacob!

We had a great time capturing Devin and Chris’ wedding photography in North Carolina at The Farm near Asheville. We were both happy and impressed by their commitment to have a green wedding. Nearly everything was locally produced. Laurey’s Catering served local, sustainably grown foods that are in season, and guests enjoyed locally brewed Highland Beers.

One of the coolest aspects of this North Carolina wedding was the floral arrangements. Aria Floral, who specializes in sustainable floral design, used beautiful wooden boxes made from reclaimed vintage barn wood for the centerpieces, which included divine succulents mixed with local wildflowers and decadent calla lilys. At the end of the night, the centerpieces were re-potted and given to guests to take home and plant.

By mixing bold colors like hot pink with dusty blues and silvers, and adding design elements such as vintage lanterns and mossy table scapes, the bride really captured a modern, mountain vibe. It was truly beautiful!

A huge thanks and kudos to Asheville Event Co. for planning this one and keeping us in the loop the day of. They did an exceptional job and things ran so smoothly! The exuberant Tim Lolley officiated the ceremony and made the marriage official, and musicians Current Invention played an array of music that sounded amazing. And for dessert? A delicious cake prepared by Short Street Cakes.

Be sure to check out all the western North Carolina wedding vendors involved, and enjoy the photography from this perfect wedding day in Asheville!

We want to give something away! How about a complimentary engagement shoot?

Today we were discussing how much we enjoy doing engagement photography with our couples. The photography part is a thrill for us, but it’s also a chance to spend time getting to know our clients. We’re not talking 20 minutes and then it’s over. Our e-sessions last up to 2 hours and it’s not all shoot, shoot, shoot. We converse with you and talk about your hobbies, how you met, what inspires you, what your favorite foreign movie is. These subtle things can be important for wedding photographers to know, as we prepare to capture a truly meaningful day in your life.

Promo info: we are offering a complimentary engagement shoot if you book us for a wedding photography collection. This offer applies to new couples who book us between now and September 1, 2010. Your wedding can be this year or in 2011. If you are local to the Asheville, NC area, no additional fees apply and we can do the shoot any time before your wedding day. If you live outside of Asheville, travel fees may be applicable. Please send us an e-mail if you have questions.

We look forward to working with you!
