Wendy and Randy were married at Central Methodist Church, Asheville, NC and held their beautiful candlelit reception at the Renaissance Hotel, with a cocktail hour in the Skyline room and the reception in the grand ballroom. She used inspiration from her parent's as well as her grandparent's wedding, carrying through ivory and gold details. Her ring was her grandmother's, and was handed down by her grandfather that was at the wedding - making for extra special nostalgic moments! They even had the hand painted sign that was from her grandparent's wedding (you'll see it - too cute!!).
They were truly a pleasure to work with since they are such a sweet couple that is so in LOVE!! With there being so many images from the day I adore, this is as far as I could narrow them...and I wish I could post them all!!
Did I mention that his three brothers are all active duty military (2 Army, 2 Air Force)? Something about a man in uniform...especially since they were such hams!!
Wendy's bouquet and the floral was done by Blossoms at Biltmore Park. The brooch was one of a pair - her mom was wearing the other.
Her mom could not have been more proud. It was an emotional moment as they grasped hands, with the heirloom ring of her maternal grandmother shining!
Wendy is beautiful, but in that dress, she was stunning!!
Their programs were made by the Baggie Goose and fit perfectly with the traditional theme of the day. Could not resist featuring Annette's beautiful work!!
Keep an eye out for this shot in WNC Magazine's 'Just Married' section in July! Aren't they gorgeous?!?!
Wendy in the stained glass sunbeam...took all of our breath away!!
Fun wedding party! This couple had the nicest friends and family, which is such a reflection on what great people they are! Had to break out the bw film and fisheye lens for this one!
Here is the sign from her grandparent's wedding!! What a great element!!
The pearl clasp she wore on her wrap that evening was a heirloom piece from Randy's great grandmother's collection that was part of a wedding gift from Randy's mom. : )
The reception room was elegantly decorated. Cortney Jackson with Simply Weddings came up with the candle covered piano...yet another gorgeous, perfectly understated idea!!
The couple entered the room under military sabers.
So sweet...
Randy and his mom surprised everyone (even the dj!) with a traditional mother/son dance into Disney's 'We should dance' that sent them dancing around the entire room!!
Wendy has some great friends!!
Off to the Biltmore Inn for a few nights before their honeymoon in MAUI!!
Quintessential final shot:
Thank you, Wendy and Randy for being such amazing people! We loved being your wedding photography and videography team. (That's right...the next post is going to be an artistic montage of their wedding video. All done in house!) Congrats, you two! We wish you years of happiness to come!!
