I am so in love with the JuneBug Resort. Such an amazing idea! It’s not only fabulous to look at with the many different styles of campers they have, but it’s great for wedding parties that want places to stay for a group. It was definitely on the “Must Photograph” bucket list for me.
The style for the day was a timeless, classic wedding…with a twist. The Wedding Venue obviously added in some retro style, but we also went with a unique wedding bouquet and boutonniere, made by the fabulous Button Florist. We picked out a custom color palette especially for this wedding, to compliment the plum colored tux that was chosen. It just popped so beautifully with his Tux and her Bouquet in this vibrant color, against the backdrop of the shiny, chrome camper. It was gorgeous and fit the bride and groom style we were going after.
This was also one of the most amazing bridal hair moments of the season! Tia with Brush Fire Artistry did an amazing job at capturing this classic and slightly vintage style for the bride.
Thank you to all the vendors for making this day so beautiful!

This was one of the most amazing fall weddings of my career! The colors were just bursting, and right at their peak. Usually it’s either too early, too late, or there was a big storm that knocked off all the leaves LOL. The weather was perfect, not too cold, not hot, and the rain held off for most of the day until the very end of the reception. The colors of the bridesmaids dresses mixed with the hand made flower crowns and the gorgeous bouquets made by Natalie of Mountain Life Services were so perfect for the backdrop of fall colors. I loved the BOHO feel Kansas planned, with her wedding dress, that YES, was perfect for her, and especially the macrame ceremony arch that she was able to get done in time. Kansas, you did an amazing job of coordinating all this into such a beautiful day.
The ceremony was down at the bottom of their hill amidst the trees, with a beautiful spot picked out to plant their red-wood tree, which was their first task as husband and wife. Catering was by Mama Bear’s BBQ and man was it good! Everyone ate and enjoyed the rockin’ music of the Random Strangers. First Dances (Some of the best moves from a mother and son I’ve ever seen!), Toasts with heartfelt words and laughs, cake made with love by family, and a sparkler send off. Congrats to you guys, Kansas and Trey, and a love-filled and beautiful day. What a wonderful beginning to your loves together. Wishing you many wonderful years ahead with more love, laughter, and joy to fill your hearts.

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.

It all started with a picturesque and gorgeous day in Asheville, NC, perfect for a wedding outdoors. Luckily it wasn’t scheduled for the day before when it was snowing and there were huge gusts of wind making it feel in the negatives! So on this beautiful day, Mackenzie and David joined their lives forever among the company of their closest friends and family. And joy was everywhere!
David showed how much he knew his beautiful wife to be with sparkly glitter paper wrapping his special gift; inside was a blue “I Do” handkerchief which was greatly needed later in the day when the tears were flowing, and a blue hydrangea which was her favorite. And this handkerchief was tucked smartly away in her pockets! Yes, wedding dress trends are bringing pockets into the mix, which can be so versatile and helpful on the big day.
Mackenzie was the epitome of a gorgeous bride. The wedding dress was chic and elegant, with a white and green bouquet with of course, hydrangeas! It was so sweet to see the love and deep connection that she had with her friends and family there while getting ready in the suite.
Her Father First Look was so sweet. This started the never-ending flow of tears between father and daughter. Almost choked me up a few times. He whispered some words of wisdom in her ear and then they were off for their big walk down the aisle (well, the garden path). The small gathering of family and friends were waiting by an eager and emotional David as she approached the ceremony site. Despite the fact that we’re still in winter, this garden was still colorful and lively with greenery and a few budding trees. Mackenzie and David said I Do, exchanged rings, and then we were off to family photos. Thank goodness The Whitegate Inn has such extensive grounds, because were all able to group together on a perfect little patch of green with the sun shining in the background. It lit up her veil like a halo and put the beautiful Inn as the backdrop to all the family photos.
Finally, first dances, a special song from one of her close friends, and cake and champagne to finish off the day. Grandma provided the toasting glasses which she told me were almost 50 years old! If I remember correctly, it was from her own wedding day, so special! AND I got my first piece of wedding cake in over 15 weddings LOL. It was so scrumptious! Almond and vanilla with buttercream icing.
My heartfelt congratulations and best wishes to this amazing couple as they start their first year of married life together. May the joy you felt on this glorious day shine through your countless year together.

This was truly a chic, country style wedding complete with barn, miniature donkeys, pies and of course sunshine! Loved this venue for its versatility. The largest barn I’ve ever seen, with lots of space for large tables and then an upstairs too! And the grounds were gorgeous. We shot at the second barn on the property and also in the field by the ceremony site. The all green and white bouquet was a elegant and beautiful touch to her ensemble. And this dress with pockets!…I can’t even. It made this gorgeous look for our bride a little more fun and playful. The whole bridal look is from Wedding Inspirations Bridal Boutique, including hair piece, necklace, bracelet, and wedding dress, of course. And I can’t thank Kathy enough for helping our groom pick out this tux! It was something I never would have thought for him but it was PERFECT! The venue was really the focal point here, so the flowers, and looks for the bride and groom were simple and lightly colored so it went together in a harmonious way.
Thank you to my amazing bride and groom and the vendors that made this day a huge success!

I love how happy Karyn and Kyle are and how into it they are, to the contrast of how much the donkeys are not LOL. This was Poppy and Beans first photo shoot and they were a little afraid of her dress. But they are adorable none the less. SO sweet!
These pies were the best pies I’ve EVER TASTED!
The crust was delicious and perfectly baked, and then the fillings were mouth wateringly perfect!
And I love how couples are not strictly adhering to cakes all the time.
They are choosing what they love and making it personal!
I have to admit I never would have thought to pick this soft, light grey tux. However it worked so perfectly for this hot summer day and also made the groom look so dapper and chic! Kathy at Mitchell’s Tuxedos REALLY knows her stuff.
I am in LOVE with pockets on a wedding dress! This was just such a fabulous look. Thank you Wedding Inspirations Bridal Boutique for helping us pick this out.
It’s amazing how things can happen when true love is involved! I hadn’t see Jessica in a while, after doing some photography for her amazing business Bluebird Designs, and suddenly there she is, on facebook, expecting! I was overjoyed and reached out, only to get a message from her just before mine went through. Love when stuff like that happens. SO…we got together again to capture this amazing life moment with her new hubby, Brandon.
Brandon and her fell madly in love, and hey, why wait! With the blessing of this new little one on the way, they wanted to get married but without all the hubbub that comes with planning a huge event. Asheville courthouse wedding it was! But still wanting to have a special and meaningful moment between them, they planned a photo shoot and vow reading at Blitmore, to capture the beauty of nature as well. After roaming around, and probably taking more pictures than they thought (sorry guys, you were just too magnificent! I couldn’t control myself) we settled on the beautiful bridge leading away from the gardens and around the lake. It was so picturesque. With my amazing hubby capturing with second camera from across the lake, I was close by to capture their very special vow exchange. Weddings are all about celebrating the love between two people in a way that is special and meaningful to them, and that’s exactly what they planned! Loved everything about it.
Baby is due in November of this year!! And who knows, maybe they will have a wedding party next year to cover two amazing things; their blessed union and their new family member! Thank you Jessica and Brandon for bringing me into your special wedding day. I am SO happy for you both and the life you are embarking on together. May you have endless joy, laughter and love through your days together.
