When Sherry and Adam contacted me about photographing their nuptials at Westglow Resort & Spa I was super excited! The two of them planned their marriage as more of an elopement, with their parents in attendance. They would say their “I do’s” in a very private way in front of their family in one of the most picturesque environments imaginable. I was honored to be among the select few people to witness their marriage and capture their love for one another on this very beautiful day, atop a mountain in Blowing Rock, NC. Their ceremony was very special and you can see the emotion of the moment in their faces, especially when they said their vows and tears began to well in Sherry’s eyes. I could not help but to be personally overcome by the majesty of the surroundings as I documented this momentous occasion in their lives. After the ceremony, I had the rare treat of having as much time as I wanted to lead them around the property at Westglow and take their pictures. I am not sure what I liked the most, the wide-angle mountains as the backdrop, or the facade of the Greek Revival mansion built atop a mountain! Maybe I like using the huge columns the most, or perhaps it was the shots in the Adirondack chairs that were the most fun! As a photographer, this couple and location proved to be a wonderland for sure. After I finished my time there, I looked back and thought about how lucky I was to have met Sherry and Adam and spend the afternoon with them in Blowing Rock. They are a very special couple who chose a magical place to forever chisel their love for one another in matrimony and I was happy to be included in that wonderful day! Here are some of my favorite shots…
