The weather report for Saturday was bad. “Partly rainy, cool.” I kept looking at the weather report every day that week, hoping for a miracle. And I guess Katie and Daniel did the same. The night before, it drizzled in Asheville.

Then, on the wedding day we were greeted by a crystal clear, deep blue sky. The miracle has happened! It was a gorgeous day beyond words and the fall foliage was a burst of colors.

We started out at the Inn on Biltmore Estate where Katie and Daniel had decided to see each other for the first time. The terrace overseeing the estate was a beautiful scenery. Next we went off for photos—the bridal party were a blast!

The ceremony at the Lioncrest’s veranda was very touching—the side covers were opened bringing the bright orange trees in as a wonderful background. The Lioncrest’s 2nd floor is a gorgeous room with a great ambiance. Perfect for the reception.

We ended as we started: more pictures, this time during the couple’s romantic cart ride around the estate. What a wonderful way to take in this outstanding scenery!

Bridal portraits are always hard for me: I cannot post them until the wedding took place! Katie’s is no exception. Their wedding was last Saturday (stay tuned!) and I can post what was a gorgeous session at the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, NC.

We went from the Lioncrest to the Gardens to the Main House, with many stops on the way. The whole estate is such a breathtaking place and now with the fall season and all the colored foilage it was at its best! Did you know that Frederick Law Olmsted, the landscape architect who created Biltmore Estate also did Manhattan’s Central Park?
