Jamie & Scott's Wedding – The Venue – Asheville, NC | Wedding Photographers in Asheville, NC, North Carolina

I don’t get to shoot in downtown Asheville very often, so I was super excited to photograph Jamie and Scott’s wedding this weekend. I met Jamie at the Hotel Aloft, which almost always has amazing light. Lots of soft window light always makes for great getting ready photos. As soon as they were done we went down to the balcony where Scott was waiting to see his bride for the first time. After that beautiful moment we went around downtown and did a short bride and groom session on the way to Sazerac to meet and hang out with the bride’s brother and the best man. The short downtime between getting ready and the ceremony was an awesome little break from the wedding day stress.

From there everyone headed over to The Venue where things were decorated to the 9s by Marta and The Venue staff and Stephanie from Verge Events. The whole thing was gorgeous. I’ve photographed quite a few weddings that someone from Verge has planned and designed and Stephanie is definitely one of the best. After a beautiful wedding ceremony we shot out to Pack Square (just a two minute walk from The Venue) and did family photos and bridal party photos. I also found a few minutes to do a couple more bride and groom photos 🙂

The rest of the wedding reception was spectacular – super heartfelt, tear jerking speeches, spectacular food and a really fun crowd. DJ Mitch Fortune was there to get people dancing and he did as he always does! When people ask me about dj’s the first thing I ask is, “Do you want people dancing like at a club?” The answer to that question is Mitch. Every wedding that I’ve photographed that he has been at has been hard for me to leave the wedding, because I want to get on the dance floor and join them 🙂
