Christmas Vacation : Biltmore Style

My family and I just got back from Asheville this weekend for a good ole’ family Christmas trip.  On Friday we went to the Biltmore house and it photographed so beautifully it made me wish I could do shoots for magazines like House Beautiful and Martha Stuart.  Even in the rain the house is gorgeous..here are a few of my faves.

My favorite room in the whole house is the library.  I could snuggle up in front of that fire and read all day. : )

We ran into an old family friend, Daniel, who works at the winery!

Ashley : Wilmington, NC Bridals UNCW Alumni House

The University of Wilmington Alumni House was the setting for Ashley’s bridal portraits and what a beautiful backdrop it was.  Classic scenery for a classic bride.  Ashley was all smiles in her pearls, lace and the idea of marrying her sweetheart.  Here are a few of my favorites from her session.

April + Stuart : Wrightsville Beach, NC Wedding

Before she ever met Stuart April had already been praying for him for years.  Often she wondered if  he would ever appear, but finally when the time was right God brought them into each other lives and they’ve clung to each other ever since.  They are so perfectly suited for each other it’s fun just to watch them interact.  Stuart is April’s peace and she is his anchor.

It was only fitting that they have a beachside ceremony and here are a few images from their day..

The reception was held at the Balcony on Dock in downtown Wilmington, NC and April had each table uniquely decorated with different locations she and Stuart have been or would be traveling to in the near future..a really neat detail!
