I adore Ola and Nathan, and I loved everything about their wedding.  They were married in May at the Grove Park Inn Resort & Spa, overlooking the majestic mountains of Western North Carolina.  The views from this venue are simply breathtaking. Thank you to Lissa with Flora, for the romantic and delicate floral.  You were able to capture Ola and Nathan’s vision perfectly!  Also a huge thank you to their fabulous photographer, Jeremy Russell.  So hard to choose when every picture is amazing! 

First, I wanted to share pictures of Ola and Nathan’s rehearsal dinner located at the Champagne Cellar at The Biltmore Estate…

And now on to the big wedding day!!

Cameron and Tommy were married on a beautiful afternoon this past May at the Cliffs Glassy Chapel.  After exchanging vows, they celebrated in style with a heavy hors d’oeuvres reception at the Cliffs Valley Country Club.  Cameron and Tommy were so radiant, and such a joy to watch on their wedding day.  Thank you to Olivia Griffin Photography for the lovely pictures, to The Bloom Room for your romantic floral, and to all that were involved in making this wedding a success!   Also, we can’t forget to thank, Lilly Pulitzer, for making an appearance in many places throughout this wedding process!    Cameron loves her some Lilly!

Enjoy!

Cameron was so sweet to give all of her bridesmaids Lilly dresses to get ready in!

Boxes of Krispy Kreme doughnuts!  Yum!

II adore this picture of Cameron’s parents…so much love…precious.

The reactions of the girls during the bouquet toss is hilarious! 

First of all, I want to apologize to all my readers for not blogging in a while.  I promise to be better!  It has been difficult to find the time during the busy wedding season! 

Elizabeth and Michael were married in one of the most beautiful and quaint locations I have been to….Banner Elk.  Their rehearsal dinner was outside of the horse stables that were part of the Elk River Club’s Equestrian Center.  Oil lanterns, checkered table clothes, delicious food, and absolutely stunning scenery made the evening perfect! Thank you so Vesic Photography for capturing this special time…

Didn’t you just love that?  Makes me smile.  Elizabeth and Michael’s wedding ceremony took place in the courtyard at the Elk River Club, and the reception took place inside their main ballroom.  Elk River Club has beautiful landscaping, and it was a magical setting for their ceremony.  My favorite moment was when Elizabeth met her dad at the end of the aisle, and he walked her down without any assistance from his wheelchair.  It brought tears to everyone’s eyes.  I loved working with Elizabeth and Michael, and it was so wonderful getting to know their families.  Enjoy some more fabulous pictures by Vesic Photography!

Alison and Tony were the sweetest, and their love is so apparent every time I saw them together.  They were such a delight to work with.  Their wedding took place a the beautiful and tranquil Rumbling Bald Resort on Lake Lure.  Thank you to Aaron Imaging for his talented photography of this special occasion, and for letting me show the world their pictures! 

Lissa with Flora did an amazing job with the floral design…love her creativity!

Liz and Jaco are a stunning couple, who have it all going for them…they are super sweet, gorgeous to look at, very smart, and certainly in love!  I really enjoyed getting to know them as individuals and as a couple, and also working with Liz’s parents was a pleasure.  The wedding ceremony was held at the majestic Cliffs Glassy Chapel, while the reception was at the Cliffs Glassy Clubhouse.  Everyone had an amazing time, and it was so much fun to watch!  Thank you to Jacob Dean Photography for these fabulous pictures…

I am so excited to blog this wedding…Katie and Ryan are an amazing couple, and I feel blessed to have been able to get to know them and to share in all the planning of their special day.  Katie and Ryan have been together for over 10 years, so needless to say, they are perfect for each other.  They are both spunky, fun, and full of joy.  I adore them!  New Year’s Eve was a perfect time for this couple to get married, and what a party it was!  The ceremony and reception were held under the veranda at the Lioncrest on the Biltmore Estate, and it was magical. Tracy Turpen Photography did a brilliant job capturing Katie and Ryan’s wedding day, and it was a delight to work with them.  The pictures are so good, that I could not narrow them down so prepare yourself to look at lots and lots of photographs!  Enjoy!

All the men got down on their knees and sang to the lovely Katie…so fun!

Not only was this a celebration of Katie and Ryan’s marriage, but also the guests were able to ring in the new year together.  So, what do you need?  A television to watch the countdown in the Big Apple!

Happy New Year!!!

And now for the gorgeous, classy, enchanting wedding at the Lioncrest on The Biltmore Estate.  Lauren could not have looked more beautiful…

Thank you, again, Woodward + Rick, for the amazing photographs!

Fun times with the Smoochbooth (and the props!)

I love love love Lauren and Chad and their families!  We got so close during the planning, and I am so sad that the weekend has passed…but, I am very happy that they are newlyweds! Lauren and Chad planned their rehearsal dinner at the Deerpark on the Biltmore Estate.  Chad played baseball for the North Carolina Tarheels (and Lauren attended his rival, NC State), so the ‘theme’ was all about baseball!  So fun…

Check out these fabulous pictures by Woodward + Rick!

They showed their guests a slideshow…you can see by the reactions how much fun it was to watch!

Thank you to Derek and Galin, with Two Ring Studios, for letting me ‘steal’ a few pictures of Sara and Ben’s engagement shoot.    I just adore Sara and Ben, and I am excited for their wedding that will be happening at the Deerpark, on The Biltmore Estate, in August.  It will be a spectacular day, I just know it!  Beautiful pictures of a precious couple…

I love fall weddings, and this one was no exception.  Anna and Lee’s much anticipated day was simply perfect, and I loved seeing them so happy.  They were fortunate to have an incredible photographer, Abigail Seymour, capturing the day, and their pictures are fabulous!  The ceremony took place out on the terrace of the Lioncrest, located on the historic Biltmore Estate.  As guests enjoyed cocktails and hors d’oeuvres upstairs in the ballroom, the terrace was transformed into their dinner reception.  It was a fun and magical night for all, and I was so happy to be a part!

I just love it when daddy's first see their little girls...
