Claxton Farm. Asheville, North Carolina, U.S.A.

Back in November 2016 Kristen and Adam asked me to photograph their elopement at Islington Town Hall, which was such a special day to witness. I had no idea 9 months later I would be invited over to Asheville, North Carolina to shoot their celebrations with all their nearest and dearest.

My incredible adventure with this wonderful pair started with an early morning start on the day before the wedding, hiking up to Craggy Gardens in the Blue Ridge Mountains which was absolutely insane. The views of the sunrise burning through the clouds, a wonderful moment shared with these two lovers.

The party the next day was something extra special. They made my girlfriend, Kristina, and I feel so welcome. Along with their awesome friends and family we ate some fantastic food, drank a lot and partied hard, watching the sun go down over the Asheville mountains. Stunning. I have never seen such incredible energy in a wedding party with the band playing around six encores!!

Thank you to Kristen and Adam for having us along, we can’t help but feel we have made friends for life on this trip.

“To forever. To happiness. To love.”
