“To get the full value of joy you must have someone to divide it with.”
– Mark Twain
Michelle and Adam are two kind souls that are truly meant to be together. I have had the pleasure of working with many couples on their special day as an Asheville wedding photographer, . I have to say that all my clients have been absolutely amazing, but something about this one seemed extraordinary and special. Michelle and Adam are so naturally in love, that it is hard not to smile when you are around them. They have such a fire of passion burning, that everyone feels it, and it so gently warms the atmosphere surrounding them. I am so excited to have been able to capture such precious memories for these two and their families.
The Venue
This beautiful couple decided to have a small, intimate, outdoor wedding -my favorite kind! Having only close family and friends there on the big day allows for the bride and groom to relax and soak in the little moments. It gives them the opportunity to focus on each other, while also having time to visit with the guests. Michelle and Adam had an abundance of sweet moments that weren’t rushed or forced.
These two decided to get married at
Cabin Ridge in Hendersonville, NC, and wow, what a gorgeous venue! It was simple, yet intricate. I loved the rustic and natural cabins, along with the cute wooden canopies that made for a picture perfect wedding. Not to mention, the greenery was healthy and bright, making for a beautiful background. Cabin Ridge has gorgeous views, and it is a great place to have a rustic wedding!
The Wedding
Michelle and Adam’s wedding day was simply amazing. I highly recommend starting the day with a first look, like we did with Michelle and Adam. I get to capture them seeing each other for the first time intimately, and it gets the nerves out for the ceremony. Michelle and Adam’s first look was as good as it gets! I loved seeing them smiling and holding each other with such romance, love, and tenderness. These two are so beautiful together! We took several photos of them as a pair, as well as some by themselves.
Adam was as handsome as can be, and Michelle was absolutely stunning! Her dress was so elegant as it flowed perfectly in the wind. The flowers for the ceremony and session were completely DIY, and they turned out wonderfully. All of the details in this wedding seemed to come together seamlessly! We ended the day with a campfire at Cabin Ridge. What a cute, unique idea! Michelle and Adam shared s’mores, and the night was filled with fun and laughter. Congratulations to this amazing new couple!
Capturing this celebratiion as Michelle and Adam’s Asheville Outdoor Cabin Ridge Wedding Photographer was such an absolute honor and so much fun!
