This had to be one of the most beautiful days ever! Roan Mountain is always pretty but today it was majestic. When Annamarie and Jeff told me they were going to do their wedding up there I was thrilled. After a hike up that was a little longer then 5 minutes (ha ha, you had to be there to get it) we reached the top of the bald and found the perfect spot. Jeff and Annamarie, like so many other couples this year, postponed their big wedding plans until next year, but didn’t want to postpone being married. So here we gathered, at the top of the mountain surrounded by trees, sky, and views of blue mountains in the distance.

It was a beautiful moment when Annamarie crested the hill and came into view, arm and arm with her parents, making her way to her husband to be, Jeff. They held hands, and the anticipation and love shining between them was palpable. Along with my two stationary cameras, Jeff had a Facebook live going to connect people who couldn’t make it to the ceremony but still wanted to be present. SO amazing! If you were one of those people watching please leave a comment and share your experience. I would love to hear what it was like to experience being on the mountain with us from wherever you were around the US. They read their own vows to each other, which is always such a beautiful and meaningful touch to a ceremony, and then at last they were united together forever. “This is the marriage of equals”

We all made our way down the mountain, snapping pics and shooting video along the way. And it only got a little chilly at the end. Most beautiful day ever! I am so honored that you both would choose me as your videographer to be a part of this incredible day. I hope these memories will instantly transport you back to the top of this mountain, holding each other, and feeling that elated sense of unity and love. I wish you decades of joyous moments together, loving compassion for each other, and prosperity in whatever you set your hearts to.
