Emily and David’s November wedding at the Crest Center was the perfect way to wrap up my fall season. A crisp day, the last of the fall leaves hanging on, and a sweet sunset ceremony on the Overlook Deck with those mountain views we all love.

Their Greek + Jewish ceremony was so meaningful, and the live portrait paintings for guests were such a fun surprise — seriously one of the coolest favors I’ve seen!

It feels a little bittersweet finishing out fall with these two. I’ve gotten to know them so well this past year through their engagement session, Emily’s bridals, and now their big day. So grateful I got to be part of it all.

Rylie’s fall senior session felt extra special.
— she’s the daughter of one of my dearest friends — and watching her grow into such a beautiful, grounded young woman has been a gift.

Her love for Jesus shines so brightly, and you can just feel the joy and purpose she carries. She’s stepping into this next season with so much strength, kindness, and possibility… and I cannot wait to see where God leads her.

So proud of you, Rylie.

Brittany and Andrew’s fall wedding at Crest Pavilion was a dream — golden leaves, mountain views, and the most perfect autumn light. They couldn’t have picked a better weekend for peak color!

I knew their day would be laidback and fun after meeting them at their Halloween-themed rehearsal dinner — “til death do us part” —- so funny.
From that moment, I knew they were going to bring personality and laughter to their wedding day!

Kate had always dreamed of a fall celebration wrapped in her favorite color — orange. People who love orange are known for being witty, spontaneous, optimistic, and full of life… and that’s exactly Kate. She radiates joy and adventure, and Evan balances her perfectly. Together, they created a day that was as vibrant and fun as they are.

One of my favorite moments was getting them to “frolic” across the front lawn of the Biltmore House — Kate’s gown had the most perfect front slit, flowing with every laugh and spin.

And the reception? Absolute perfection — think candlelight, laughter, and an ice sculpture overflowing with shrimp cocktail and surrounded by oysters. It was the kind of party you never want to end!

They met at a dog park, grabbed coffee together… and the rest is history. I loved getting to know Justine and Michael! Their wedding was intimate, heartfelt, and beautifully woven with Filipino traditions. And can we talk about the bride’s custom Converse sneakers? Such a fun and perfectly her touch!

Natalie & Ben’s Lioncrest wedding was pure magic.
They envisioned a romantic, garden-inspired day — full of greenery, white florals, candlelight, and elegant black accents — and it all came together beautifully.
Oh! And— the espresso martini ice luge was as amazing as it sounds.
I loved capturing every part of this day — from the quiet, romantic moments to the fun moments with the bridal party…laughter and dancing carried well into the evening.

Britain and Efley’s destination wedding at Chestnut Ridge was pure mountain magic. Surrounded by friends and family who traveled from Florida, they celebrated in true style — and of course, their beloved pups Avery and Derek were right by their side. Every element tied beautifully together, from the romantic ceremony overlooking the mountains to the disco chandelier that transformed the reception into the ultimate party! Such a fun night!

What a wonderful wedding celebration for Andrei and Marina! Beautiful fall colors and an amazing group all the way from Brazil made for a perfect day at the Biltmore Estate. These two actually met on a plane — such a sweet story and the perfect beginning to their forever!

Rain couldn’t stop the joy at Amy & Carl’s wedding! The day was full of laughter, love, and unforgettable moments — but my favorite was their first family dance with their daughters, Aubrey and Piper. Watching them come together as a new family (and new sisters!) was such a touching and emotional celebration. 💕

Huge thanks to the incredible vendor team who made the day so special:

What a full-circle moment! I first photographed Buna back in 2011 for her senior portraits, and now I had the joy of capturing her engagement session with Matt at the Biltmore Estate. I cannot wait to celebrate her and Matt this spring at The Grove Park Inn!
