Laura ♥s Greg

Laura and Greg were married on June 5th, 2010 on the Biltmore Estate in Asheville North Carolina.

The couple's first dance were personalized by Kathleen Hahn of 'I Do Dances'. A great idea for people with two left feet as well as the rest of us.
"America's Largest Home" makes for a magnificent backdrop.

Biltmore's Methode Champenoise Blanc de Blancs Brut, an award winning wine made locally.
I do dances!
Flowers by Melissa with Flora. She made the pinwheels in front of our studio too! Awesome.

Suraj Spa and Salon was a very accommodating host for the bridal party. It's roomy interior and friendly staff set busy minds at ease.
After getting back to the studio and loading the images we noticed that both the bride and the groom were getting ready in front of the mirrors at the exact same time but in two different rooms. I'm not sure why I think this is as cool as I do... but I do! It is nice being able to be in two places at once. :)

Formals tend to be people least favorite part of the wedding day. Even so, it can be an opportunity to get some nice candidy goodness when the people aren't paying attention.

Their first dusk as a married couple.

Receptions at Deerpark tend to be candle lit but he long summer days provided some natural light for us, which was wonderful.

The getaway was made in a sweet Rolls Royce named Scarlet.

And flowers were thrown!

Thanks to Shay Brown Events for organizing the wedding and making our job a breeze!

Rock-a-baby

Here are some shots from a little-one Photo shoot. Do you have photos of you kids? If not, why?

I'll bet if I had gear like this when I was little I'd really be able to shred.

Bethany and Allen's Wedding

Bethany and Allen were married in late May. Though the weather seemed like the rain would sour the day it made some room for a beautiful outdoor ceremony at the Lambuth Inn, Lake Junaluska NC.
It was nice to have so much light in the Beth's preparation room! You would be surprised how much of a difference a window makes. Ahh... natural light.

A plethora of flowers by Janet Frye.

Got some great pics of the group once Allen chased the geese away.

Job well done!
