Blueberry Villa Part 2!

Part 2 of Carolyn and Alan's Autumn Wedding Day!




My favorite part of the ceremony was "the wooden box." The bride and groom both put a letter of love to each other in the box, along with a bottle of wine... and with their closest friends, they nailed it shut during the ceremony. The idea is that later in their marriage, when things get a little tough or if they have a moment they feel like giving up, they have to open the box, read the letters and drink the wine!!!!! Isn't that beautiful! I am considering making my own box like this!!!




I LOVE the running wedding party photos.






The reception was in the tasting room of the winery with seats and tents spilling out on the green.
The bride and groom also had a candy station where the guests could make a little bag of treats for themselves to take home! I am still thinking about those chocolate marshmallows... (maybe it's the pregnancy talking)

They had a bench made for their new place in New York... all the guests signed it!


I loved this moment... all the gentlemen of the evening serenaded Carolyn with one last song!

What a beautiful day!

Carolyn and Alan... Blueberry Villa Winery Wedding! Part One.

Wednesday, October 28, 2009


In early October, I had the privilege of shooting this beautiful mountain-top wedding at the Blueberry Villa Winery in Banner Elk. Carolyn Clark, today's stunning bride, is an avid blogger and DIY wedding star writing for yahoo, wedding bee and various other blogs, vlogs and who knows what else- this girl is busy! You can visit one of her sites, Serendipity and Spark, to see her latest creative finds, DIY projects and personal moments of spark.

Being a southern girl at heart, Carolyn moved to NYC years ago for her career, but came back to North Carolina for her wedding... and what a good idea she had...

Carolyn and Alan rented an amazing Villa where friends and family stayed to have a relaxing weekend in the mountains before the wedding!

Here's a shot of the honeymoon suite...

That's right, this bride made a pocket schedule of the weekend timeline so everyone would be informed!!! I love it!



I love Carolyn's classy old fashioned style...










These were taken at a local Christmas tree farm!!!




The bride also handmade these hair pieces for the bridesmaids!

Next for the Blueberry Villa Wedding... Sundown mountain ceremony, wedding party on the run, a sweet serenade and more...
