Biltmore Estate Wedding / Part Two

The Diana sits on the hill above the Biltmore House.  This is where Kathryn and Doug’s ceremony and reception took place.

I know I said I’d turn this into a two part posting.  But I think I’ll spread it on a bit thicker.  How about three or four posts?

This one is all about the amazing ride in the horse-drawn carriage Kathryn took to her wedding to Doug.  And meeting up with her father on the way!

Kathryn’s smile when she see’s her dad.

I just gracefully floated and landed in this spot.  No bounding in the woods like a hefalump did this require…

Biltmore Estate Wedding / Part One

Kathryn and Doug’s wedding took place at the Diana on the gorgeous Biltmore Estate in Asheville.  Kathryn and Doug are an adorable couple and their wedding was absolutely beautiful.  Tara Jordan of Weddings with Tara did a wonderful job coordinating all of the details - everything was perfect!  And Stacey of the Bloom Room created stunning floral arrangements. Scott Thompson did a fabulous job with makeup as always.

Kathryn and Doug’s wedding story will be told in two parts.  Welcome to Part One!

Kathryn’s beautiful dress was found at The White Room in Birmingham, Alabama.  She wore her mother’s veil.

Kathryn’s great-great grandmother’s brooch:

Such a beautiful laugh…

Gardenias in her hair and bouquet to honor her grandparents…

Kathryn and Doug have a special moment when they see each other for the first time.

Pretty Little Weddings Blog Feature / High Hampton Inn Wedding

Natalie and Brian’s beautiful High Hampton Inn wedding in Cashiers, NC was revisited today by the lovely blog Pretty Little Weddings.

Here is just one shot, a reminder of that gorgeous day in the North Carolina mountains just about this same time last year…

Valerie's Bridal Portraits / Asheville Wedding Photographer

Valerie and Zach were married recently at the beautiful First Baptist Church in Asheville.  Photographs of their wedding are to follow sometime soon.  Valerie and I were able to get together before their wedding for her bridal portraits at the North Carolina Arboretum.  These are a just a few of those taken on that day.  There are others I would love to share but because they’re are tucked away on another hard drive and I’m experiencing a very sleepy moment…  I will plan share those when I post their wedding! 

Valerie had these images printed by me to display at their reception at the Crest Center in Asheville.

I met Zach at a wedding I photographed of an old friend of Valerie, whose beautiful engagement portraits and wedding I’ll share eventually as well (as you can tell I don’t blog every day!).  After our intoductions, Zach showed me the following first image of Valerie that he had been allowed to see from our bridal portrait session - it doesn’t show the dress…and it made great i-phone wallpaper.

So beautiful!

I don’t always blog post so many table settings and centerpieces, but I couldn’t leave these out.  A complete table setting is so elegant.
