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!

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.

Christie and Aaron had a lovely WNC wedding in May at The Farm near Asheville, North Carolina. They were such a great couple to photograph and the emotion of the day really came out in the images. All their friends and family were so gracious and welcoming to us. The love was in the air and we were lucky to be their photographers!
