Highlands NC Luxury Real Wedding

We wanted a classic, timeless and formal wedding, but also wanted to incorporate a “mountain feel” where we could. I wanted to use deep green florals because it reminds me of the surroundings in Highlands. We also incorporated some magnolia leaves because my mother and grandmother always had magnolias in the yard and magnolia leaves throughout the house.

Gibbes Museum Of Art Styled Shoot

This shoot was inspired by the true meaning behind eloping. Elopements are weddings stripped down to the core. It is a day that couples choose to focus only on and celebrate one thing; the love that is shared between them.
