Amber & Aaron’s Wedding - 1927 Inn - Lake Lure, NC

Capturing Amber and Aaron's journey to "I do" was an adventure I'll never forget. From the moment we embarked on their pre-wedding shoot to the final farewells of their wedding day, every moment was steeped in the kind of love and connection that stories are made of. We started at a lookout that's become a cornerstone of their relationship, a place they'd escape to for quality time, away from the hustle of daily life. It's there I asked them to exchange love notes, a small gesture that brought back a flood of memories and dreams for their future together. Those moments gave me a profound insight into their bond, a privilege that allowed me to capture their essence authentically.

Their wedding day unfolded in a setting that seemed lifted from the pages of a fairy tale. Nestled in a valley with Chimney Rock standing guard, the 1927 inn by Lake Lure was the perfect backdrop, mixing natural beauty with vintage charm. The day was laced with heartfelt first looks—not just between Amber and Aaron, but involving their parents and siblings too, making for an emotionally rich tapestry that was a joy to film.

Despite a gentle rain, the ceremony was nothing short of magical. The clouds that rolled over the mountain views only added to the ambiance, creating a scene so picturesque, it felt surreal. There's something about a little weather that brings everyone closer, and that's exactly what happened; both families came together, united in their happiness for Amber and Aaron.

As the evening progressed, the energy only grew. The dinner and dance floor were alive with celebration, a testament to the love and joy shared by all in attendance. Watching Amber and Aaron dance into the night, surrounded by their nearest and dearest, was a beautiful sight. Their rain-soaked send-off was the perfect end to a day that was as beautiful as it was meaningful.

Being a part of such special moments, capturing the laughter, the tears, and the love, is why I do what I do. Amber and Aaron's wedding was a reminder of the beauty of love, the strength of connection, and the magic that happens when two people commit to a lifetime together. Here's to many more years of happiness for them, and to many more stories for me to tell through my lens.
