Wedding photography for joyful couples that specializes in capturing both stunning portraits and candid moments to help you remember both the look and feel of your wedding day. Based in Raleigh, NC. Available for travel. Back in June, Rosemary reached out to me asking if I was available to photograph her intimate wedding at the Mast Farm Inn in August…of this same year! Only about 6 weeks away, to be exact. Rosemary and Matt had just gotten engaged in May and wanted to have a small mountain wedding in Boone, NC before the winter came.
They kept the wedding guest count small, just inviting their closest friends and family. Typically I would not be available only six weeks in advance, but I had left their wedding date free as it was my own wedding anniversary! I asked my husband if he was okay with me shooting a wedding on our anniversary: we would get to take a trip to Boone, plus Rosemary was an old friend from church.
Both the ceremony and reception were held at the Mast Farm Inn which is located in the town of Valle Crucis, just a 15 minute drive from Boone. The properties were originally owned by the same family.
The Mast Farm Inn was such a cute little spot for a small wedding. Rosemary and Matt were each able to stay at the Inn the night before the wedding, making an easy transition to getting ready in the morning.
In the early morning a dense fog hung low around the property. I arrived early to photograph some details and we all enjoyed the feel of a quiet mountain morning. The ceremony was held on the lawn of the Mast Farm Inn at 10 in the morning. The sun broke through about an hour beforehand, but thankfully the large old trees around the property kept the heat away. Everyone enjoyed watching Rosemary make her way from the beautiful old Inn over to Matt. Following the ceremony, we stayed on the lawn for a few portraits, then walked throughout the property for photos.
