an asheville elopement

the couple

ivey and silas reached out to me last fall to book their elopement, i was immediately so stoked! the location, the vibe, the couple, everything was right up my alley. as they are both from florida, they had a decent drive to our mountaintop location and were still able to get so many friends and family members to be there for the big day! it is so clear that these two are incredibly loved by their people.

the hike

the climb to the summit was short and sweet, we snapped a couple photos with ivey’s parents and then headed up separately, taking some super fun pics along the way. although we got some stunning shots, the weather was not in our favor for most of the hike! we fought rain and some crazy wind that nearly took my umbrella down the mountain! after about a half mile, a muddy dress and many caught twigs, we reached the summit to a stunning rainbow and the clouds beginning to clear out.

the vows

ivey and silas decided to do their vows in private, overlooking the stunning mountain landscape and the rainbow that came after the storm. they began with a first look and boy, was it magical. the way they look at each other is so full of love and admiration! the vows were incredible, their story is so special and they were both so genuinely happy to spend their lives together.

ivey then washed silas’ feet in a special, private unity ceremony. this helped bring their marriage closer to god and to each other, dedicating their lives to each other. this entire private ceremony was so special and so full of love.

the ceremony

the ceremony was short but oh so sweet. we spotted another big storm rolling in and decided to make it quicker than planned in order to get out of the storm. the love was so strong though! everyone was so excited for this unity and the views in the background made it perfect.

a huge congratulations to this incredible couple and wishing so many years of happiness and love.

xoxo,
