Biltmore Estate Wedding – Amy & Tom

Two Ring Studios — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 16:50:53 +0000

Amy and Tom had a destination wedding in Asheville, NC at the Biltmore Estate. Saying it’s ‘epic’ might be an understatement so we’ll let the photos speak for themselves. We worked with lots of talented vendors for this one (see bottom), and we must give huge props to BobbyMark’s Designs for the event planning and florals. Stunning!

Amy and Tom were a delight to work with and are some of the nicest people ever. When we first met with them we knew the wedding was gonna be amazing to photograph. So get lost in these photos and then also see this Biltmore wedding on Style Me Pretty.

Highland Lake Inn Wedding – Michelle & Joe

Two Ring Studios — Thu, 05 Apr 2012 16:03:44 +0000

Michelle and Joe’s wedding was on a perfect October day at Highland Lake Inn in Flat Rock, NC. When a couple is so laid back and easy to work with like they are, it’s almost humorous to call what we do a “job”. Jobs aren’t supposed to be this awesome, right? They love to garden and cook so they made sure the food was top notch and delicious (and it was!). A few brave guests decided to take a swim in the lake before the wedding. Trust us, the water was cold, so taking pictures on the dock was much more enjoyable than jumping in.

We’re so happy for Michelle and Joe and it was an honor to spend the day photographing their wedding!

Biltmore Wedding

Two Ring Studios — Mon, 26 Mar 2012 18:18:23 +0000

Elizabeth and Mort were married at the beautiful Deerpark venue of the Biltmore Estate on a warm Summer day. The Deerpark has an elegant courtyard for wedding ceremonies and ample indoor space for receptions which makes it the perfect venue for weddings. As always, Blossoms at Biltmore Park did an amazing job with the flowers. The Heather Hayes Experience had guests of all ages enthusiastically hitting the dance floor.

Congratulations to Elizabeth, Mort and their families!

Biltmore Estate Wedding at Lioncrest – Stephanie and Dave

Two Ring Studios — Mon, 05 Mar 2012 16:49:14 +0000

Stephanie and Dave had an absolute blast on their wedding day! From the very start of the day we could tell that we were in for a fun, exciting time. Everyone enjoyed the sense of humor of their friends and family, especially during the ceremony where Dave was initiated into Stephanie’s family by her father with a throttling of friendly jokes. The emotions ranged from pure humor to the sweet romantic sentiment that we are always so blessed to witness.

Stephanie got ready at the beautiful Grand Bohemian just down the road from the Biltmore Estate and Dave at the Brookstone Lodge. The couple saw each other for the first time on the rooftop terrace of the Bohemian where they had a few moments before enjoying their portraits at both the Bohemian and the Diana site at Biltmore. The ceremony and reception were both held at the Biltmore’s lioncrest where the guests ended up energetically dancing and celebrating into the evening.

Congratulations to Stephanie and Dave!

Asheville, NC Wedding – Erin & JP

Two Ring Studios — Mon, 27 Feb 2012 21:12:51 +0000

Erin & JP’s Asheville, NC wedding was at the Biltmore Estate’s Deerpark venue. They were an energetic group from start to finish and everyone had a marvelous day. Every time we photograph a wedding we are reminded of how blessed we are with awesome clients! We thought it was cute that the bride and groom both rocked the Ray-Ban sunglasses at key moments.

We got to work with talented vendors on this one, such as Asheville Event Co (planner), E. Scott Thompson (makeup), Studio Flora Diva, and Tim Lolley (officiant). Enjoy the photos!

Crest Center Wedding – Ashley & Chris

Two Ring Studios — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 22:36:03 +0000

We’re excited to share Ashley and Chris’ Crest Center wedding in Asheville. Not only was this couple endearing but the guests sure knew how to party, making for plenty of “dance floor moments” to photograph. Ashley and Chris were also excited to grab some sunset portraits with us during golden hour, which was awesome! And how about that sparkler exit? Even though a few stubborn sparklers decided to be smokey instead of sparkly, they were great sports and smiled through the smoke!

It was fabulous working with Crest Center, BobbyMarks Designs (florist), Sweet Promises (cake), and Danielle with West One Salon, to name a few.

Deerpark Wedding at Biltmore Estate – Jenna & Daniel

Two Ring Studios — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 21:22:21 +0000

It’s been a pleasure getting to know Jenna and Daniel, from shooting their engagement photos in the spring and her bridal portraits. They were married in summer at the Biltmore Estate in Asheville and chose the beautiful Deerpark venue for the wedding ceremony and tied the knot in the rustic Lodge Room. Aside from capturing candid moments all day, Jenna and Daniel allotted quality time for portraits after the ceremony. We had a great time being creative with those around the magnificent estate!

Many thanks to Tamara with Belle Soiree, makeup artist Blush by Wendy, Bloom Room (florals), and Pat Lance with Spintastic Sounds. Always a wonderful experience working with them. Enjoy the images!

Biltmore Estate Wedding at Lioncrest

Two Ring Studios — Fri, 16 Dec 2011 23:13:23 +0000

We like to put our photojournalistic shooting style into overdrive when we shoot weddings, and this one was no exception. Sarah and Bill had a Biltmore Estate wedding at the Lioncrest venue and there were so many wonderful moments. Part of what’s so intriguing about documenting weddings is photographing the anticipation and build-up before the ceremony. Not only is this great for the bride and groom to look back on, but it helps fill in the narrative of the whole day.

The ceremony was officiated by Sarah’s father which was very special, and there were lots of emotional ceremony photos to be taken. The children guests were particularly adorable at this wedding and might want to look into a career as “hilarious wedding dancers”.

The talented Blush by Wendy was the makeup artist, Lola did her hair, and we got to work once more with Asheville Event Co (planners). And of course we have to mention Bloom Room and their beautiful floral arrangements! It’s worth checking out the bridal shoot we did with Sarah a few months ago. She looks so elegant and relaxed in these and on her wedding day. Not to mention, everyone at the wedding was so unbelievably nice to us all day. This always makes us jump for joy (not literally. Or maybe?) at the thought of being wedding photographers.

Vintage South Carolina Wedding – Leanna & Kenny

Two Ring Studios — Fri, 02 Dec 2011 17:54:22 +0000

Sometimes “love” is all you can say. And we love everything about this wedding: the adorable bride & groom, the vintage DIY details, the energy of the dance floor, and so much more. Leanna and Kenny had a backyard wedding in South Carolina with details that had personal meaning to them. Here is a blurb from Leanna:

“We used wedding photos of our family members throughout the décor to connect our wedding and marriage to the history and heritage of everyone that came before us. I chose to honor my mother, who died when I was a teenager, with a small display of her wedding portrait and some of her favorite books. Kenny and I were both English majors and lovers of literature so we used books in all of our décor, including the boutonnieres and garlands made from book pages. The books in our centerpieces were collected by my mother or passed down from other relatives. All of the glass bottles and other antiques were also gathered from family members.”

Family was a huge aspect of this wedding. The ceremony was in the backyard of her parents’ home where both Leanna’s father and his brothers had their weddings. It was conducted entirely by family members as well, from the officiants to the music. And how about that amazing, rustic doorway to the ceremony site?! That was built by her uncles.

The reception was non-stop dancing craziness. Everyone danced the night away in a campground pavilion that was originally built by Leanna’s grandfather and later restored by her father. They ended the night with a contra dance and Leanna said “Dancing while surrounded by all of the people we love was such a special way to start our marriage.”
