Katherine connected with me looking for documentary Asheville elopement photography for their fall elopement. They wanted mountain views, privacy, and time to share personal vows with each other. After going back and forth trying to find the best place to elope in Asheville, we finally settled on a ceremony on the Blue Ridge Parkway with photos afterward at Craggy Gardens.
It was one of those late fall days when the fog sits over the mountains after a storm. We weren’t sure if we were going to have any mountain views, but Katherine + Connor were just so excited to celebrate their elopement, it didn’t matter to them what the weather did.
We climbed to the pinnacle, hoping the fog would lift. When it didn’t, we reluctantly made our way back to the parkway for their vow exchange. Of course, after we made our way to the trailhead, the sun started to shine through the fog. After spending about 15 minutes attempting to make a decision, we finally felt like the pinnacle was the best place for them to read their letters to each other.
We hustled up the mountain again, knowing that the sunshine would not last. We found an overlook, and they read promises to each other just as the light started to turn orange. With the sun setting, tears running down their smiling faces, we managed to soak up about 10 minutes with color before everything faded into the night.
Holy cow, Megan. These are stunning!!
