Amber & Michael’s Gorgeous Wedding

tara — Mon, 21 May 2012 14:09:31 +0000

I can’t say enough about this sweet, genuine, super friendly couple…Amber and Michael. I am so so elated to have been a part of their planning, and of course, their wedding day. They are BEAUTIFUL inside and out, and I am thrilled for them. Amber and Michael were married on the veranda at the Lioncrest, located on the Biltmore Estate. After guests enjoyed a cocktail hour up in the ballroom, we transformed the veranda and courtyard into a stunning space for their dinner and dancing. It was a perfect evening, for a simply perfect couple. The Bloom Room completely blew me away with their decor and floral, and Krista Lee captured this evening beautifully. Thank you to everyone involved!

Fabulous makeup by Blush by Wendy

Their wedding programs were also their escort cards…double use!

Momentum Band did a great job getting everyone on the dance floor, and Michael and Amber are quite the dancers!!

Sara and Ben were married in August at the always lovely Deerpark, located on The Biltmore Estate. The weather threatened to get in the way, but just in time, the skies cleared and Sara and Ben were able to have the wedding that had dreamed of. Love! Two Ring Studios was there to capture this sweet couple as they said their vows, dined with their guests, and danced the night away. Thank you, Two Rings, for the fabulous pictures! Also thank you to The Bloom Room, for enhancing the beauty of the Deerpark with your floral design. It was a great evening for all!

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!!

A Biltmore Estate Wedding

tara — Fri, 08 Apr 2011 21:52:52 +0000

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...

Anna did all the calligraphy...so talented!

Stephanie and Adam’s Intimate Wedding

tara — Thu, 24 Mar 2011 20:32:23 +0000

I loved every aspect of Stephanie and Adam’s wedding day, because it was so intimate and precious. To me, the ceremony began back in their hotel room, as they wanted to dress each other for the most special moment of their lives. I just know it was like time stood still for them, and you can see this in Parker Pfister’s breathtaking photographs. After going around the spectacular grounds of the Biltmore Estate for pictures, they joined their family for their ceremony in the Champagne Cellar. Once the ceremony ended, their guests were delighted by a winery tour and tasting while the Cellar was transformed into their dinner reception. A wonderful day…

Blossoms did a fabulous job creating a magical atmosphere for this intimate wedding…

Parker must have said something pretty funny to us…

Kristina and Scott were married on a beautiful September day at the Basilica of St. Lawrence in downtown Asheville, NC. After the ceremony, guests joined Kristina and Scott at the Deerpark on The Biltmore Estate for dinner and dancing. Kristina and Scott were the sweetest, and I am thrilled for them. Thank you to Blend Photography for the gorgeous pictures, and thank you to Tere for all of her help to make everything run smoothly!

Gigi and Rich are a wonderful couple, and they were married on a Sunday in May of 2010. Their ceremony and reception took place at the Deerpark on the Biltmore Estate. Christy, with Waldorf Photographic Art, was there to capture the event, along with Digital Video Memories. The both did an amazing job, and below you will see Christy’s pictures. Thank you, Christy! Gigi looked gorgeous, and I really adored working with her, Rich and their families. I wish them the best in their future together!

Thank you to The Baggie Goose for the programs and place cards!

Look at those flowers by The Bloom Room…lush and delicious!

Are they not the most precious flower girls?!

Kathryn and Doug marry at The Diana

tara — Mon, 01 Nov 2010 18:58:14 +0000

Kathryn and Doug were married in July at The Diana, which is located on the Biltmore Estate. The views from The Diana are spectacular, as you have a perfect view of the Biltmore House and the mountains beyond. I love this venue for a wedding and reception.

Kathyrn and Doug met while in school at Auburn, and they have been together for three and a half years. They were very ready to get married and to spend their wedding weekend with friends and family. I so enjoyed seeing Doug get so excited on the day of his wedding, and I especially enjoyed watching him as Kathryn rode up to the ceremony in a horse and carriage. It was truly magical and very romantic!

Angela Stott Photography provided all these wonderful photographs for you to enjoy. Thank you, Angela, for your exquisite work.
