Leah & Brock Part 1 / Claxton Farm Wedding / Asheville

I'll be the first to admit that after hearing Leah and Brock's wedding plans I was really hoping they would choose me as their photographer. A beautiful ceremony at Claxton Farm with floral design by The Bloom Room and a reception / party at her father's brewery. I wanted it so much more after I met with Leah and she was seriously one of the coolest people I've ever met. As much as I love photographing a blow out wedding with every detail planned out and executed to perfection I always remain completely focused on the two people that I'm there for and clients like Leah and Brock make that an absolute pleasure.

Anyway, since Leah and Brock decided to spread their celebration over two days I figured I'd split their event on the blog as well. It's probably obvious but this was their smaller wedding ceremony and dinner at Claxton Farm. Next up will be their reception / party at Highland Brewing. 

Oh, and if you're new around here please check out one of my favorite engagement shoots ever! I just love when people want to try something different. Yay Leah! Yay Brock! High fives all around!

P.S. New larger blog images don't cha know.

Melissa & Casey / Grove Park Inn Wedding / Asheville

Considering Melissa and Casey's wedding at The Grove Park Inn has already been featured on the Weddings With Tara blog and The Washington Post's Lifestyle section (yes, THE Washington Post, still can't believe it!) I figured it was way past time that I blogged a few photos. Well, as you can see I blogged a lot of them so maybe I should keep the text short and sweet...especially since I'm going to have some really fun news to post about related to Melissa and Casey and Jeremy Russell Photography very soon!

Anyway, do you get the idea these folks know how to have a good time? I loved every second I spent with these two and rarely a moment went by when someone wasn't laughing or smiling or dancing or goofing off. So much fun. I'm so thankful I could be a part of it all.

The Bloom Room / Asheville / Vendor

Yesterday was a good day. I had an email sitting in my inbox from Stacey, owner of The Bloom Room, requesting some images of her beautiful floral designs from Leah and Brock's wedding at Claxton Farm and the second I sent those over I rushed downtown to catch up with Leah herself who was in town for a couple days. Things like this always make me feel like I'm doing something right. Thanks to you both!
