Ann and Dan at the Venue in Downtown Asheville

I had so much fun last weekend (Nov. 6) with Ann Pearson and Dan Whitney and their incredibly fun group of friends and family!  Ann and Dan are both teachers and just really great people all around. I could tell they were both so genuinely excited to marry each other! 

Bobby and Mark from Bobbymarks Designs coordinated the event and did an exquisite job! Every little detail was perfect! 

Here are some highlights from their wedding day, starting with this photo below which I really just wanted to include to share how remarkable the views were from the 10th floor condos everyone stayed in at the Hotel Indigo downtown (below). I couldn't believe how much of Asheville you could see from these rooms! 

Dan (above) cheeses a little for the camera while getting ready! I'm not really sure why I like this shot so much, I think because it really shows Dan's personality.

Ann's sister (above) peaks in while she's getting dresses!  

We set up a "first look" on one of the balconies of the hotel where Ann and Dan could see each other for the first time. 

The party started on the trolly (Asheville Trolly Tours) with champagne toasts! This wedding party was SOOO much fun! 

Ann and Dan were so cute with each other even when they thought no one was looking (below).  

Ann's sisters get shielded from the wind!! (above). It was REALLY cold last Saturday. In fact, while we were downtown, a little bit of snow started falling!!! It was very pretty but also very chilly!!!  

This was one of my favorite shots (below) of the wedding party in downtown Asheville. 

The ceremony and reception took place downtown at the Venue.

Rev. Debby Bradley did a great job with the ceremony. 

I absolutely love this photo (below) because of the way everyone is smiling so sweetly. There is a lot of love and excitement behind those smiles!!!

Ann and Dan, thanks so much for letting me be a part of your fantastic wedding day!!! I really can't tell you how much fun I had with your friends and family over the course of the weekend. You guys make a fantastic couple! 

Another big thanks to my assistant, Brittany, who did a fantastic job as always!!! 

Lindsay and Adam: Engaged!

I had the BEST time with Lindsay and Adam last Thursday when I met them for their engagement session! I clicked with Lindsay right away when we met earlier in the week, so I was excited that they wanted to to ahead and schedule an engagement shoot while the fall leaves were still on the trees! 

I'll be photographing Lindsay and Adam's wedding next September at the Crest Center and after meeting and photographing this couple, I am already looking forward to it! 

Here are some highlights from our shoot: 

We had a little fun with the leaves at the Botanical Gardens! 

Lindsay and Adam, thanks so much! I can't wait for next September to photograph you guys again!! 

Reid and Chris' Ridgecrest Wedding

 This past Saturday, associate photographer Kate Monroe and I headed out to Ridgecrest for the wedding of Reid Clonts and Chris Haslup. Reid and Chris are so sweet together, I could tell that there was a lot of love there! 

The wedding was coordinated brilliantly by Gretchen Howard and everyone had a great time! 

I'll let the photos do some telling...

The flowers were exceptionally done by Sweet Earth Flower Farm.  

Reid carried a beautiful locket with both a photo of she and her father and a photo of Chris as a child. 

The couple did a ring warming where their rings were passed around the congregation so everyone could send their good blessings. 

Fantastic exit down the aisle to the Star Wars theme song! 

Reid and Chris wave as they head down to the reception (below!)  

Kevin from Livesound Entertainment kept everyone out on the dance floor! 

Reid and Chris had a great farewell and headed over to the Grove Park for the start of a two week long honeymoon! I hope you guys are having the time of your life. Thank you so much for allowing myself and Kate to be a part of your love-filled wedding day.
