Photographing Amanda and Ryan's October wedding at the Omni Grove Park Inn Hotel in Asheville was the highlight of my 2023 wedding year. From Amanda's custom wedding dress, to the intricate reception detail, and burning orange trees, there were no lack of things to capture.
As soon as I arrive to each wedding, I focus on capturing all the little details of the bride and groom for that day. Although they might remember the feeling of wearing their grandmother's pearls or their grandfather's watch on the wedding day, remembering what it looked like on the day of may be something they forget. While detail shots aren't always the images my couple's blow up and hang in their home, they are ones that my couple's reminisce on years after their wedding.
Amanda and Ryan's ceremony took place at the base of the Omni Grove Park Inn looking out towards the mountains right before golden hour hit. The joy between them during the ceremony was almost as radiant as the fall colors that surrounded them. As they came back down the aisle, I was able to capture that authentic "just married" feeling between the two of them.
The reception space at Omni Grove Park Inn is already exceptional as a blank canvas, but seeing it filled in with grand florals and elegant tablescapes was breathtaking.
