Rachael & Mike, Biltmore Estate

Rachael and Mike, a local Asheville couple, were married a couple weeks ago at the pastoral River Bend Farm at the Biltmore Estate. This was my very first Biltmore wedding, so i was especially pleased they chose me to photograph their day! Rachael and her bridesmaids, mother, and grandmother all prepared for the event at the beautiful Inn on Biltmore Estate. E. Scott Thompson worked meticulously on everyone's makeup (he did a fantastic job by the way), while Lalena and Haven from Ananda Hair Studio styled all the ladies' hair. The girls looked fabulous! The whole day was just perfect, the flowers by the Bloom Room were absolutely exquisite and unique, and the ceremony taking place at sundown was truly romantic! It was almost dark by the time i was able to finally get some shots with the couple alone, but with a little creative lighting (and the help of my fantastic assistant, Sarah), i think i definitely made some very sexy photographs . . . Here are some of favorites:
