Intimate Wedding at Claxton Farm | Asheville NC Wedding Photographer

intimate-wedding-claxton-farm-zd-001 “Sooo have you seen the weather?” I asked Shem a few days before the wedding. “Oh my gosh , I know, we’re all scrambling to find coats!”
Shem & David’s early October wedding went from supposed to being a slightly warm day to a ‘this is too cold for people with Florida blood’ low of 34 and a high of 52.
But perfection doesn’t even begin to describe their day (-:

Surrounded by their closest family and friends, and the gorgeous blue ridge mountains in Asheville, NC, Shem & David became Mr & Mrs.

Their wedding was truly a family affair. Shem & David had their siblings stand up with them, her father was their officiant, and both mothers gave a reading and advice. It was so sweet!
