Krista and Jamahl's Grand Bohemian Asheville Wedding

Krista and Jamahl were married at the Grand Bohemian Hotel Asheville on a perfect winter day. They are both in the military and stationed on opposite sides of the country, so it was extra special for them to be together and for me to be there to record their wedding. The Grand Bohemian is a stunning venue to photograph in and always offers so many photographic possibilities. The elegant setting inside was perfect for their vows (and honeymoon) while they enjoyed time together! Outside the hotel, the wintry Biltmore Village exterior of the Bohemian offered a lovely backdrop that had them snuggling so much (and me shooting like crazy), I don't think anyone was getting cold.

Krista’s parents were their witnesses and Tim Lolley with Blue Mountain Weddings officiated the ceremony. Tim always does a beautiful job and really connects to his couples and this time was no exception. After seeing many ceremonies by Tim, we asked him to be our minister when we married (on 10.10.10, but that is for another post…maybe the next one…).

The couple looked dashing (not a word I use often, but fits them so well!). I loved getting to capture them during such a special time in their lives. :)

Here are some of my favorite shots below - to see more, visit Asheville Photography's new blog!!

Congrats Krista and Jamahl! Best wishes for many happy years to come!!

Charlotte Engagement Photography - Matt and Liz's Uptown Charlotte Engagement Session

Liz and Matt wanted to capture the essence of the cool area they live in for their engagement session, so I loaded up the gear and drove to Charlotte during spring break. They both teach English at a high school in Charlotte. They met at work - and must have nerves of steel to teach high schoolers lit and english!! What an amazing pair!

Too cute with School Street nearby, we could not pass up the obvious shot.

A quick stop at Dairy Queen for a treat that was perfect for some really sweet moments.

After a fun walk in their neighborhood and a few moments with their pups, we headed uptown. Uptown Charlotte is full of great locations to shoot and is such a fun place for them to live! I was happy to make the drive to make having their session near home possible and let me play somewhere new!

LOVE the quotes outside the Charlotte Library. Each one was inspiring...

They had so many inspiring ideas for shots, such wonderful style and were so easy to work with (not to mention they are a GORGEOUS couple!!!), I had so much fun capturing the two of them!!

Family photo! At the end of the day, we were joined by their two gorgeous dogs that looked like they were having as much fun as we were!!

After getting to play with them and spend time with their sweet dogs, I'm even more excited about capturing their August Lake Lure Inn Wedding! Hope you enjoyed a glimpse of our session.
