What a stunning venue and such an amazing day! The sun was shining for Suzanne and Adam’s first look, and even though ominous dark grey clouds were rolling in, everything held off and the ceremony was able to be held on the beach side with the river and mountains in the background. Good weather luck!
All these amazing vendors put in their creative love into this special day and it showed in every corner of this venue. Many joyous wishes to you both, Suzanne and Adam! Keep on loving each other and making each other laugh through your many happy years together.

It’s always a beautiful day for a wedding! Especially at Whitegate Inn and Cottage where the garden is so gorgeous and colorful. Sudha was gorgeous in her vintage style, beaded wedding dress. And the love was beaming between them as they prepared to tie their lives together forever. They gathered at the little bridge in the garden surrounded by color; simple and sweet, the moment was all about the two of them and their love for each other. Afterwards we walked around the grounds and got their couple photos done. And of course, ended with cake!
Congratulations to Sudha and Adam. I wish you a lifetime of laughter, happiness, love and family. May the love you felt on this special day shine through your many years together.

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.

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.
I have been so fortunate to work with Jessica and Derek for a few photo sessions now. We did a CrossFit themed engagement session and then another engagement session at Biltmore. Totally different but all a true and wonderful part of them. I got to see how they interact together, and see the love that is expressed between the two of them in all things. And there’s always laughter, which is so important!
We can’t say that the wedding day had picturesque weather, because it didn’t, but as in life (and as in marriage) it’s how you deal with what is sent your way that determines your happiness. And Jessica and Derek handled it with grace, and beauty…and of course love. The ceremony got moved indoors after realizing that people would be frozen in the chilly rain that started just before the ceremony time, and persisted into the night.
We were able to venture outside before the rain, however, and got some fun portraits of the bridal party. The girls with their sunflowers, flower rings, and furs to keep them warm.; the boys in their dress vests and jeans, with matching ties. The ceremony was beautiful inside Timber Hall with its sky high wooden-beam ceilings with chandeliers and everyone stayed toasty and dry. Follow that up with family photos, amazing catering by Moe’s BBQ, First Dance and parent dances, speeches and then….the ceremonial cutting of the pie!! Baked Pie company provided the bride and groom pie as well as mini pies in a variety of flavors and fillings. It was so hard to choose just one, and based on the fact that only scattered crumbs remained towards the end of the night, I think people fixed that be eating more than one, LOL. SO YUMMY!
Jessica and Derek were troopers, venturing out in the pouring rain for their bridal portraits. It was actually pouring! No longer sprinkling, but coming down with a vengeance. We did the old Umbrella Running In and Out trick. But just based on the super short amount of time and the limited movement we had on the soaked ground, we decided to do a bridal re-do! Jessica got to have a little mini-wedding day, with new hair and make-up, a new venue, and then a night out on the town in their fancy outfits. How many people can say they got to wear their dress twice back to back? It was fun getting to revisit the day and bring back all the feelings of joy!
Thank you so much to Jessica and Derek for choosing me as your wedding photographer, and also for planning such fun engagement sessions! I wish you lifetimes of happiness and joy.

This was one of the most picturesque weddings of the season! Not only are Gabi and Trey a beautiful and sweet couple, but it seemed that every element of the day came together in a magical way. The weather, although on the hot side, was perfect. Blue sky with white puffy clouds met with green, hillside vineyards to create a stunning view behind the ceremony site. And there were dark clouds peaking up in the distance causing a light sprinkled for about 2 minutes, and then it was clear the rest of the day. Flowers by Blue Ridge Blooms along with NINE beautiful bridesmaids added pops of blush and pink everywhere. Add in a classic and chic reception tent with chandeliers, a rockin’ band, and happy smiling friends and family, and you get an AMAZING wedding day!
I’m so grateful to have been a part of this day! Thank you Gabi and Trey for choosing me to be your videographer. I can’t wait to get it all done for you to enjoy. For now, here’s a little sneak peak to bring back the joyful memories of the day.

I would have to say that no two wedding videos are ever the same. There’s no cookie cutter recipe that I use, and from beginning to end it totally depends on the couple and the events that unfold. Nothing could be more true than this one! It was a perfect duo of sentiment and classic beauty mixed with uninhibited joy and fun. So how to tackle the video and make ONE highlight? I decided it simply had to be….both!
They had a beautiful ceremony planned at St. John in the Wilderness, with an impressive bridal party: 10 on the bride side and 13 on the grooms. Each bridesmaid held a gorgeous bouquet of flowers. These flowers were everywhere, bathing the ceremony and reception in beauty and color. Every pew was packed full of elegant wedding guests, laughing and crying along with the ceremony.
Then followed by the reception at Rebecca’s parent’s home in Flat Rock, NC. She had given me a tour of the reception site (her ) many months before her wedding date. She pointed where the white tents were gonna be set up, and described a “ladder dance” of which I had never heard before. How can there be so many people on the dance floor you would need a ladder? Post reception….it became clear. This was a rockin’ party with everyone busting a groove on the dance floor and not stopping until late into the night. Rebecca and her Dad started it off with “Who’s That Lady?”, with Connor and Mom jiving to “I Can’t Help Myself (Sugar Pie Honey Bunch)”. Not to be outdone, Rebecca and Connor’s first dance was to “Give It To Me Baby” by Rick James. The AMAZING live band, The Black and Blue Effect, was one of the most talented and spectacular bands I’ve seen at a wedding in my career. The singers, the musicians, the amount of songs they knew, their energy! and an OUTFIT CHANGE halfway through the performance! Never seen that before! Rebecca had requested NO slow songs for the reception, and they kept up the pace keeping everyone partying along with them.
So here is my highlight video for this amazing couple. Thank you for choosing me to be your wedding videographer! Rebecca wrote me after her full wedding video and said, “We quite literally laughed and cried our way through it.” That’s the greatest compliment I could ever receive. May you laugh and cry (tears of joy of course) for many more years to come. And I hope you eel the love, joy and happiness of these moments every time you watch your videos. Many happy wishes to you both!

Sarah and Joseph got married at an amazing hilltop wedding venue, The Cabin Ridge, on a foggy and chilly day in October. This is my second time at this venue and it’s amazing every time. It was beautifully, magical how the mist covered the landscape and hung around like a giddy wedding guest.
The ceremony took place inside, in front of a warm and cozy fireplace decorated with flowers and lights. The bride and groom were the warmest in the room for sure, from standing right in front of the fire, and I think by their undying love for each other. Exchanging of letters and personalize wedding vows made the ceremony feel special and touched the hearts of everyone attending. After family photos, where everyone DID brave the cold and wind for one large group photo outside, it was dinner and speeches. The bride and groom greeted each table, which I always think is so wonderful, and then first dances began.
Sarah and Joey started at opposite sides of the venue, and met in the middle for a super sweet choreographed dance. Not to be outdone, the love that beamed during the Father/Daughter dance brought a tear to my eye for sure. It always gets me. I think of my dance at my wedding more than 11 years ago now. Gosh I JUST LOVE WEDDINGS!
The sparkler exit was particularly magical with all the mist and fog accumulating in the night air. This amazing couple took their first steps towards a new life of love, commitment and devotion to each other.
Thank you to Sarah and Joey for choosing me to be your wedding videographer! And for choosing me and Myriah to do both photo and video for your special day! May you smile and laugh for many years to come watching your memories unfold again and again.
