Okay, so I am back after taking most of December off! I decided to do a “top 10 list” this year in several categories so stay tuned!  It was soooo hard to narrow down all of the wedding images from 2009 and only pick 10!  I decided to make my choices based on the emotion I saw and felt when I took the images. Of course, every wedding has its traditional images taken, but the non traditional, and the images that capture emotion, are the images I search to capture at each and every wedding!  I think most clients would agree that these are the images that really stick out in their mind too!

In no particular order…

Mo and Jason got married at the beautiful Basilica of Saint Lawrence in downtown Asheville this past Halloween, followed with a fun evening of drinks, food, and dancing at the S & W Steakhouse.  Mo and Jason came from Atlanta to spend there special day in Asheville!  Even though the day started off with ran, the weather could not have been more perfect after the ceremony as we were all walking the streets of Asheville!  Chris and I hope you had an amazing honeymoon….here are some photos from the ceremony….more from the reception yet to come!

Here are some more of my favorite photos from Joey and Jessica’s wedding in Chimney Rock, NC!

It was a beautiful fall day! Jessica and Joey came from Atlanta, Georgia to get married at Chimney Rock State Park.  This couple actually got married on top of the Chimney Rock which is said to have 75 mile views of Lake Lure and the Hickory Nut Gorge. It was simply amazing! Jessica was such a relaxed bride and the day flowed so smoothly!  The couple also allowed a TON of time to take photos between the ceremony and reception! I can not stress how important it is to have some relaxed time as a couple to take some photos!! Here is a preview of their wedding…more to come!

Can you see the man with the bagpipes under the flag? 

Simply Amazing!

I love this image! Not only is Jessica have the biggest smile on her face, but Joey is looking at his new piece of bling! How sweet is that?

I love how a groom plays with his ring right after the ceremony!

Here are some more photos from Russ and Jen’s beautiful wedding!
