This couple came from Texas to get married at the Biltmore Estates in Asheville, NC which  is such a great place to have a wedding. I was truely honored to be the Photographer!  The details were perfect and the couple could not have been more in love!  The wedding actually took place on the flower carpet which was so unique and beautiful!  

A sweet note from the bride:

“They are wonderful, Cristen!  It’s like I’m reliving the moment when I look at them!  You captured everything so wonderfully.  My dad kept saying how wonderful you were.  He was like you will never find a photographer as patient as she is. I agree.  You were so wonderful and patient.  Thank you for capturing everything so perfectly.”

Sally’s dad seeing her for the first time…it was so sweet!

Okay, so I know that I have been slacking on the blog posts lately!  I have so many fun sessions to post and plan to do so soon!  As any photographer knows, this is the busy time of the season and I always make sure that I have all my clients back their pictures within a 7 days from a session…which has left me little time to blog! Talk to you all soon!

Ben and Vicki had an amazing day for an elopement in Western North Carolina!  The elopement took place at The Inn on Mill Creek which is an adorable Bed and Breakfast near Asheville.  Both Ben and Vikki came from the UK for their elopement and I felt honored to capture their special day!  Their marriage was just the start of their 3 week vacation to the states!  They had their good friends Andrew and Richard join them to witness the ceremony and they were all a blast to hang out with (I mean take pictures of)!!

The Inn on Mill Creek

I love the look on Vicki’s face!

It was an inside joke…you had to be there!

What a beautiful location for a brunch! I am telling you, if you have never visited this Inn, it is a must!

Hope you had safe travels back and had a great time in the states!
