The Inn at Crestwood Resort | Blowing Rock Wedding Photographer

The Inn at Crestwood Resort and Spa in Blowing Rock, NC was the perfect spot for Abby and Will’s wedding and reception.  This wedding was EVERYTHING. All the things, all of them! It was so fun and so full of love. The wedding party was amazing. A most loving bride and groom! The vows sentimental. Absolutely perfect singing. The parents, grandparents and the celebration was epic. We started the day with Abby getting ready at Crestwood Resort. The resort was decked out in décor complimenting the burgundy of the bridesmaid dresses. Additionally, the clean greens and whites mixed in the beautiful floral arrangements accented everything. Abby’s dress was so pretty with its sparkle and lace. The groomsmen and “bridesman” looked dapper as well in their gray suits. Furthermore, Will is a huge NC State fan so you’ll see some nods to that. Everything was classically beautiful.

The Vows …

Once we finished up details and documenting the getting ready fun, we were off to Boone United Methodist church. The weather was perfect. I promise, there is nothing quite like Fall in the NC mountains. It is one of the best times to get married in the High Country. We loved seeing Abby’s bridal party share a first look of her. Their reactions were genuinely adorable and loving. Then, her Dad seeing her … so sweet. Not to mention the fun the guys had. There were laughs over the couple gifts and those brought out some emotion as well. After the vows were said and the tears of joy were shed, it was time to head off to Thunderhill overlook. There we captured some amazing couple portraits. I am so glad Abby had the idea to stop there. It is a scenic spot and was crowded. Regardless, the images were so stunning and worth it. Of course, made way for the bride and groom and their paparazzi.

After our quick stop we continued to make our way to Crestwood for Abby and Will’s epic reception. Once they made their grand entrance and the food was blessed, it was time for toasts. Everyone did an amazing job on those. I love hearing special memories and laughs made along a couple’s journey through life. It’s always and honor to experience. However, the true honor of this reception was being treated to a performance by Abby’s A cappella group. Absolutely amazing talent! It was so good that it completely gave me chills. I could tell as I was looking around that it was sheer enjoyment for all of the guests to experience.

The party …

The party was EPIC! When The Extraordinaires play at a wedding it is sure to be a good time. Every single one we have photographed with them has been awesome. They are so, so GOOD. This time did not disappoint either. The party was rocking all night. Everyone was dripping in sweat from dancing because the fun never stopped. The dance floor stayed packed the entire time. It was like being at a club and the energy was amazing to photograph. They even had wedding crashers, ya’ll. That is a first for me. I can’t say I blame them for wanting to join the party. It was that cool! Truly, everyone had a good night by the time the bride and groom made their get away with a sparkler exit.

Thank ya’ll so much for entrusting me to capture your day. You were truly amazing. A beautiful couple inside and out. I was so honored to be a part of your wedding day, engagement and bridals. Thank you also to my faithful side kick, Melissa Biggers, for assisting in shooting this wedding. Ya’ll she is truly the best and I couldn’t do it without her. We make a great team if I do say so myself.
