Maura + Taylor exchanged their vows on a gorgeous fall afternoon in Western North Carolina. The views at The Ridge are literally some of the best in the Asheville area and the leaves were just starting to peak, making for a beautiful background for their portraits.

The minute you walk into a room with Maura + Taylor, you know that you have met some of the most warm and welcoming people. They are so kind and have such a loving circle of friends and family that were so excited to celebrate. Taylor literally couldn’t keep his feet on the ground! The day was full of fun, laughter, and lots of love.

Nicole with The Planning helped to design a beautiful day with understated gorgeous fall florals by Petal + Fern. Guests were able to wrap up in soft white blankets during the ceremony and then were invited into the reception with lots of neutrals and subtle pops of pink that accentuated the bridesmaid’s dresses. Maura + Taylor invited Skip Rohde, a live painter, to paint their first dance.

As the sun started to set, the sky was ablaze with purples, pinks, and oranges- it was one of the best sunsets we have seen in a while! After some heartfelt speeches and the sweetest dances, Maura slipped into her reception dress and then the party really started! Everyone was out of their seats all night and it was such a blast!

While I didn’t have a second shooter with me, I was in the best of company with Ian Davidson Films. This husband/wife team are such gems and truly admire not only their work, but their professionalism and genuine personalities. Scroll to the end to see the video!

Congratulations again to such an incredible couple! Wishing you all the best in NYC!
