I love when our couples ask us to cover their rehearsal dinner / welcome party for their wedding. It’s such a beautiful part of the wedding day story. Gathering with all your favorite people the day before your wedding helps to take it all in. Savoring those extra few moments with your people is something you won’t regret. And having it documented is special too. I always tell my clients if you are going to add anything to your package, add coverage! You can’t ever go back and get more photos, but you can always order an album or print them at a later date. So coverage for your wedding weekend is king!
Rehearsal Dinner in the Valley
Lonesome Valley in Cashiers, North Carolina is an incredible location. It feels like being somewhere out west. The Valley has a way of encompassing its visitors by nature the Valley invites guests to the Canyon to slow down and relax. We had a fantastic evening celebrating with Mary Helen and Brian at Canyon Kitchen. Their rehearsal dinner was filled with sipping cocktails and laughing with family. One of our very favorite things to capture for our clients is the connection they have with family. Brian and Mary Helen had a small wedding. Putting emphasis on spending time with family the whole week before their wedding. I just love this connection they have as a family. Super close.
The perfect start to a wonderful weekend. Mary Helen donning a gorgeous Reem Acra jumpsuit and a beaded handbag inscribed with “Happily Ever After.” Brian wearing a dapper blue suit. With their family following suit, I love how all the ladies are in gorgeous dresses with lovely prints.
