This was the first elopement I've ever done and I just absolutely loved it! Tiffany and Matt incorporated a vintage, Wes Anderson feel into their elopement and it fit them so perfectly. They did the official part of their elopement on Friday and then on Saturday we spent the day in Asheville celebrating their union with pictures. Tiffany and Matt brought two close friends to spend the elopement weekend with them as a small bridal party. The best part about photos was that we got to visit so many great locations! We started the day at the Asheville Botanical Gardens. It was a little rainy to begin with, but the day cleared up quickly. Next, we headed to the courthouse to get some photos in front of it since I hadn't been there for the official part on Friday. After the courthouse, we went to The Grove Park Inn. This hotel was just stunning and tucked away in the mountains of Asheville. Lastly, we got ourselves lost in the Blue Ridge Mountains (literally!). Tiffany and Matt were so great about driving around for 30 minutes trying to find a certain spot :) But boy was it worth it! We finished up pictures on an overlook that showed all the beautiful mountain tops and landscape. Matt and Tiffany were so sweet and willing to go along with all my ideas for some great photos. It was one of my favorite shoots to date!
Jared and Katharine's wedding took place at the beautiful Daniel Stowe Botanical Gardens! Jared and Katharine are good friends of my husband and I. Jared was in our wedding and my hubby was in his. (You can even catch my hubby dancing in a few of these pics!) These two were so happy and joyful on their special day and it was a lot of fun to capture. Enjoy the florals strewn throughout their day, the delicious cupcakes instead of a cake, the gorgeous sunset and the sparkler exit at the end of the day.
Amy and Patrick were the sweetest, loving couple! I shot their wedding back in December (I know this blog post is far overdue). Their love for God and each other stood out through the day and I was so happy to be a part of it. Amy and Patrick are now missionaries in Thailand and their love for that place showed even in their wedding day. With beautiful Thailand fabric used as tablecloths, the Thailand flag hanging above the gift table, and other personal details decorating the space, their wedding was perfectly them. Enjoy looking through their special day :)
