Last year I sent out an advertisement to find a wedding to photograph in the mountains because it is my favorite place to be.
I was so happy when I ended up booking a wedding for my clients P & A through Four Lasting Memories Events and Melinda Smith http://www.fourlastingmemoriesweddingsandevents.com/ out of Black Mountain NC.
The wedding was to be held at the gorgeous venue Chateau de Vue http://www.chateaudevue.com/ just a few weeks ago and my clients could not have picked a better location for their wedding..
This venue ( really a modern mini castle!) sits on the side of a large mountain peak in western North Carolina with indescribably beautiful views....
I arrived in the morning to capture the couple and the wedding party getting ready for the day and to make sure that I got all of the cool detail shots before the ceremony started.
I also had time to head outside and take some photo's of all of the tables and decorations ( that my client made herself!!) before the guests showed up for the start of the ceremony.
After a little while it was time for the ceremony which was held on the front side of the property. It turned out to be great for photography because the light of the late afternoon sun was diffused by the shadow of the house.
With clouds on the way painting the sky a violet blue we headed on to the reception which was held on the lawn at the back of the house. There was a large tent set up to cover the guests from the rain and a fantastic DJ spinning tunes

that got everyone jumping as the night went on.
