Fall weddings here in Asheville are always a beautiful sight. Joe and Jill were married in October at the Homewood in historic Montford. The couple and their guests were all smiles the whole day, so needles to say, we were also having a blast as we documented this lovely event. Enjoy some of our favorite shots and check out the end of this post to see all the vendors who made Joe and Jill’s wedding day come to life. Most importantly, thanks to Joe and Jill (and their cute dog, Pepsi) for being such a joy to be around!

Andrea and Scott had a destination wedding here in Asheville, North Carolina and we captured their big day. Their ceremony was at the magnificent Basilica of St. Lawrence in downtown Asheville followed by a fun-filled, energetic reception at the Homewood castle. In between these two destinations we stopped at a third venue, Grove Park Inn, to do a photo shoot with the couple. That is something Andrea and Scott wanted to do and, of course, we had no objections since our wedding day checklist has “Make bride and groom completely happy” at the top.

So why Grove Park Inn for a photo portrait session? Scott proposed to Andrea there! We actually went to the restaurant at Grove Park Inn and had them sit at the same exact table where it happened. It was very romantic and emotional for them to be back there on their actual wedding day.

It was a pleasure working at the Basilica, Grove Park Inn, and Homewood all in one day. The bridal party got ready at the Hotel Indigo, which is a newly built hotel here in Asheville, NC. It’s worth checking out if you are having an Asheville wedding and need a place for your guests to stay. Staying downtown is convenient because you can walk to almost anything in 5-10 minutes.

We posted their Asheville wedding photography on our blog already, but figured we’d post one more picture. This portrait was taken in front of Homewood before the wedding reception.

Andrea and Scott, who hail from Washington D.C., had a destination wedding in our hometown of Asheville, North Carolina. Two nights before their wedding we had drinks with this sweet couple and then shot their engagement photos downtown. Doing an e-session with the bride and groom always makes us anxious for the big day. It’s a sneak peek of the couple’s chemistry and how they interact with each other, plus it’s great way for them to warm-up to having their pictures taken.

They tied the knot at the Basilica of St. Lawrence and then the newlyweds were whisked to the Grove Park Inn in a Rolls Royce for portraits (now that’s style!). We posted this portrait session on their teaser post. The reception was at the enchanting Homewood in Asheville, where we also did a few portraits with the classy car and beautiful stone castle as a backdrop. Homewood is an elegant and intimate venue for weddings and has an amazing history. Did you know Nina Simone was taught piano lessons there in the 1940s? How cool is that?!

Weddings are always a fresh experience for us – each one is always different, and each couple we work with is always unique. This beautiful occasion was no exception and we were so happy to be connected with Andrea and Scott and wish them all the best in their new life together!

Thanks to the talented Mike Belleme for second shooting with us.
