bridal show – stop by!

It’s hard to believe that it is already time for the Fall Bridal Show! The Wedding Festivals show in Asheville is this Thursday, September 27, at the Civic Center. The show lasts from 4 pm to 9 pm. Tickets are $8 at the door or $7 online or with the $1 off online coupon. Marc and Colleen really have worked hard to get the show publicity and to get a lot of vendors there for brides to meet with. I usually end up getting a lot of inquiries right after the bridal show, so if you are seriously interested, please don’t wait! I look forward to seeing you there!

jennifer and matt

Jennifer and Matt were married in Matt’s hometown of Galax, VA. It was such a beautiful day, especially being at the higher elevation. Much, much cooler in temperature than the day we attempted Jen’s bridal portraits in Winston-Salem! Jennifer was so excited and gorgeous! She picked the perfect dress all on her own. This is the year for tall guys and short girls – almost every couple this year has had extreme differences. Matt is 16″ taller than Jennifer so that makes for some photographic challenges. Their handsome son Christian made a brief appearance for a few family portraits. Then, we were off to Matt’s grandparent’s house for a relaxed, fun reception. It was absolutely gorgeous there with the log cabin at creekside and a large pond. They danced until after midnight courtesy of DJ Skriff -Anthony Leonard keeping the party going.

EDIT: Thanks, Jen for posting up the link on the knot chat. Thanks to everyone for stopping by!!!
