Katie and John will be getting married at the Lioncrest on the Biltmore Estate next July. They are such a lovely and sweet couple, and they are blessed to have Abigail Seymour as their photographer. I adore her work, and she did such a fantastic job capturing the love between Katie and John. Take a look!

Isn’t Katie exquisite? So beautiful…

I am so happy for Debra and Tripp! What a wonderful couple…always smiling, and it was contagious. Their wedding took place on the Vista of the Inn on Biltmore Estate, with a reception following inside the Vanderbilt Ballroom. I loved Debra’s colors of navy and apple green, and her classic but fun style. Thank you to Blossoms for the floral design, and to Jeremy Russell for the perfect photography! I guarantee these pictures will make you smile…the love and joy is so apparent in this gorgeous couple.

Anita and Michael were married on April 17th at the Inn on Biltmore Estate. It was a lovely, intimate affair, and Michael and Anita were obviously very happy to finally be husband and wife! Thank you to Regina Holder for the photographs, and to Blossoms for the sweet blooms! Enjoy!

I LOVE the pink dogwoods…so pretty!

Vicky and Kevin’s Spring Wedding

Vicky and Kevin were married on a beautiful March evening at the Biltmore Estate. The ceremony took place in the historic Lodge Room at the Deerpark, followed by a dinner reception and dancing. I just loved working with Vicky and Kevin. Vicky knew what she wanted, made decisions quickly, and I enjoyed helping her make it come together. Fun! Blossoms did a beautiful job with the floral, and the amazing Abigail Seymour captured every sweet moment. Thank you, Abigail, for sharing these pictures…

Beautiful shot, Abigail!

Stunning…

Everyone was having a great time dancing to the beats of Dylan Skidmore with Blazin Sounds Entertainment!

I am thrilled to be working with Lauren, Chad and their families on their upcoming wedding in September. The wedding ceremony and reception will be taking place at the Lioncrest on the Biltmore Estate. It is going to be one amazing event, and I can’t wait!! This couple, as you will see, is GORGEOUS! Fortunately, they are beautiful in the inside too! Woodward + Rick were kind enough to share with me some of Lauren and Chad’s engagement pictures so I could share them with my blog readers. Although Woodward +Rick are some of the best in the business, they still couldn’t have taken a bad picture of these two even if they tried!

Erin and Adam’s Biltmore Estate Wedding

tara — Sat, 27 Feb 2010 03:28:03 +0000

I showed you Erin and Adam’s rehearsal dinner at the Fields at Blackberry Cove, and now I am finally posting their wedding pictures! The ceremony took place on the front lawn of the Biltmore House, which is a spectacular location. Then guests were treated to a private tour of the Biltmore House immediately following the ceremony which led out to the reception on the South Terrace. Tremendous job by Stacey and her team with The Bloom Room on all the floral and decor. Thank you to Corey McNabb for his exquisite photography and for capturing all the wonderful moments and details. Check it out…

Love these shots with Adam and his family…

A bagpiper led the guests from the ceremony to the door of the Biltmore House for their tour

Loved Erin’s dance with her dad…so much fun, as you can tell!

Erin’s parents surprised the couple with a firework display during their reception!

The happy couple drove away in her father’s Aston Martin…sweet vehicle!

Martha and Brian’s Wedding at the Biltmore Estate

tara — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 23:51:38 +0000

The minute I met Martha and her mom, I know we were going to have so much fun planning this wedding. Martha knew what she wanted, and she wanted it to be extravagant, elegant, sparkly, spectacular…with a smoky, sexy touch. She chose the Lioncrest at the Biltmore Estate for the ceremony and reception…the perfect location. The ceremony was held out on the veranda, and when the guests went upstairs for dinner, we transformed the veranda into the cocktail, dancing and lounge area. We teamed up with Beth at Studio Flora Diva to create the flowers of Martha’s dreams (and she wanted lots of them!), and Beth did just that. When Martha saw her reception and ceremony site, she literally gasped and yelled out how perfect everything was. I love that kind of reaction! Thank you to Martha and her sweet family for taking me a long this amazing ‘planning’ journey. I am honored to know you all!

Once again, Parker Pfister, amazed us all with his brilliant photography. Thank you, Parker, for getting all these photos to me so I can share them with the world!

Martha LOVES shoes, so she had three different pairs to get her through the entire day…two pairs of Jimmy Choos, and a pair of gorgeous Manolo Blahniks. What every bride needs!

Wendy Arthur Ballance, makeup artist, enhanced Martha’s beauty for her ‘big’ day…

Linda…Martha’s mama…isn’t she gorgeous? And she is so, so sweet.

All the stationary and calligraphy was by Dana with A Fine Line Studio.

Lorie and Leslie Marry at the Biltmore Estate

tara — Sat, 02 Jan 2010 15:22:05 +0000

What a fun and exciting couple Lorie and Leslie are! He is a magician and entertainer, and she is a bartender/dancer at Coyote Ugly. They were so nice, and so thrilled to be getting married. They had a very intimate wedding with only 17 guests, and it was perfect. They were married inside the sitting room of the Conservatory at the Biltmore Estate. Then their guests enjoyed a plated meal in the Champagne Cellar. The Champagne Cellar is one of my favorite locations on the Estate because it is so unique and romantic. Stacey, with The Bloom Room, created the gorgeous floral arrangements and bouquets. Everything was so pretty! Thank you to Audrey Goforth for all the photographs….enjoy!

I just adore the hat!

Yes, he is pointing at my pregnant belly!

Tim Lolley married Leslie and Lorie…love him to death!

The ringbearer got emotional during the toasts…it was precious!
