Chatter from family and friends could be heard upstairs as they began to gather in the Westglow Mansion. Allyson, the dazzling bride, stayed behind closed doors with her bridesmaids as she eagerly awaited word that, “It’s time!“ At 3:00 pm the ceremony proceedings had yet to begin, so I elected to go downstairs and find […]

“Where could it be?!” Ali wondered. “When were you last wearing it?!” one of the bridesmaids questioned as we attempted to solve this conundrum. We were all perplexed as we retraced her steps to the ceremony site. Somewhere along the way Ali’s veil blew off and it was nowhere to be found. Since we were […]

“We have to go to Plan B!,” said one of the bridesmaids. “If we do it outside at the original ceremony site your dress will get ruined before the day even begins!” After that, a flurry of activity began as furniture got shuffled and the guests and groomsmen were notified of the switch. The ceremony […]

“Hold on now! We wouldn’t want you to fall off the golf cart!”, Ali hollered.

This down-to-earth couple also had a desire to […]

Our loud whispers could be heard throughout the quiet library. The three of us did our best to keep it down to a murmur but the giggles could not be contained. I had so much fun with Logen and Nick while photographing their engagement session. We had a phenomenal time gallivanting around West Jefferson, NC […]

I’ve driven by this place a dozen times, and I’ve told myself repeatedly that I’d eat there one of these days. Six years later, it finally happened! Honestly, I don’t know how I let that much time pass before I actually made my way over to eat dinner in this charming little establishment. I mean, […]

It’s too bad that you can’t pick the type of weather you will have when you’re on vacation. Sometimes, it’s rainy and overcast, which can put a damper on what you originally wanted to do. Although I think that during those times when plans don’t work out the way we envision that we make some […]

(Beer Flight @ Thirsty Monk) Asheville is a town with many nicknames. For three years in a row it’s won the title of Beer City USA among voters in a national poll. With 10 local breweries operating in this one city alone, I think that it’s earned such a distinguished label. I’m not a huge […]
