We have been itching to share these incredible Asheville wedding photos with you! Leah chose to do her bridal portraits among the cherry blossom trees and boy, oh boy, they took our breath away. For the ceremony and reception, the couple chose the stunning vineyard of Bruntshirt overlooking the mountains in Asheville, North Carolina.
Leah was a classic beauty in her custom made Modern Trousseau gown. The french lace dress with an off the shoulder sleeve was a perfect complement to the church ceremony and outdoor reception.
Words from the photographer: “The weather, which is naturally unpredictable in the Asheville mountains, was of course…unpredictable! They shared their First Look in the vineyards of Burntshirt while the thunder rolled in the background with darkening skies and the smell of rain on the horizon. Interestingly enough, the rain was never a topic. Dating for nearly four years and getting to know this couple and the love they share, a downpour truly wouldn’t have hindered their spirits or mood. To witness a First Look is truly a remarkable experience, with Leah and Kyle’s being no exception. The tears, emotion, excitement and complete adoration that they share was so apparent and something I truly love about this couple. As the wind picked up and thunder grew louder, we decided to cut our time short and head back in only to have a torrential downpour start moments following us seeking shelter!
The ceremony was held at the beautiful and rustic Biltmore United Methodist Church in downtown Asheville and the reception continued through the night at Burntshirt Vineyards. At the close of the evening I looked out towards the vineyards and the fog was just so intense! Knowing this couple, their love for photography and trust in me, I said, “So, there’s this amazing fog outside…..” and without even finishing Leah says, “Let’s go!” ” Julia Laible Photography (Just wait until you see those shots at the end of the gallery!)
We wish you a lifetime of love and happiness Leah and Kyle!
