“We cannot say enough great things about Gadabouts Catering and the incredible Catie! From the moment we met her at our tasting, we knew we were in excellent hands. She went above and beyond in every way — professional, warm, and so easy to work with throughout the entire process. The food was absolutely spectacular. We had a carving station with steak, and our guests are still raving about how delicious it was. The assorted desserts and cake were also a huge hit — beautifully presented and just as good as they looked. Beyond the food, what really stood out was the staff. Every single person, from the servers to the bartenders, was incredibly friendly and attentive — even during the busiest moments. Our guests repeatedly told us how kind and welcoming the team was, and that kind of service truly makes a lasting impression. We heard over and over again that it was some of the best wedding food people have ever had — and we couldn’t agree more.

I am so very honored that you are considering me to be apart of your speical day. Choosing a wedding photographer can be one of the most important decisions you’ll make in planning your wedding. This is your Day the day you have been dreaming about your entire life.

The quality of her work is simply exquisite, showcasing her immense talent and seasoned expertise.

“I had the immense pleasure of hosting my wedding at Appalachian View LLC in Newland, NC, on August 11, 2024, and I couldn't be more thrilled with my experience. From start to finish, the process was smooth and professional, thanks to the incredible team of Pam and Gracie, who facilitated the operations at the venue. Pam, in particular, went above and beyond to ensure my special day was everything I dreamed of. Her patience, organization, and genuine passion for making every wedding unforgettable were evident in every interaction. She not only offered invaluable advice but also referred me to trusted vendors, making the planning process seamless. I was even able to rent her stunning place settings, which perfectly complemented my wedding theme and were surprisingly affordable! When I finally met Pam in person before the wedding day, she treated me like family—truly making me feel like a daughter. That warmth and care continued throughout the entire experience. On the wedding day itself, everything was executed flawlessly. The venue’s attention to detail, from setup to operations, ensured a stress-free and magical day for my husband and I. The breathtaking property was the perfect backdrop for celebrating with our closest friends and family. The combination of exceptional service, kindness, patience, and compassion, paired with the stunning beauty of Appalachian View, made it a day I will treasure forever.

“From start to finish, property tour to the wedding weekend, we knew Serenity Ridge was special. Having accommodations and catering onsite provided us the opportunity to be present for our wedding weekend. The Serenity Ridge team was effortless to work with and their hospitality above and beyond. The setting was gorgeous, sunsets, mountains, thoughtful guest areas. Guests could not stop taking pictures and raving about the trails and the cozy cabins. The Hilltop House was ideal for hosting the smaller meals, along with hair and makeup before the wedding. The pavilion and built in bar worked perfectly for our cocktail hour and reception. We did put the vinyl sides down, but they did not impede the beautiful views in any way. There was plenty of room for a big dance floor. Every space we used was sparkling clean and free of clutter. Our weekend included a mostly Gluten-Free menu, and the Serenity Ridge team knocked it out of the park. Our guests were thrilled with the options but also the quality. Delicious – every single bite. No exaggeration. An all-Gluten Free cocktail hour, dessert bar and wedding cake did not disappoint anyone who wasn’t Gluten Free. I would not hesitate to recommend them and am already trying to come up with another family event so we can go back!”

“There is so much I could say about this venue. Diane and her team are above and beyond amazing. There were so many details I personally overlooked that Diane had solved for me. She had some addressed and handled and I didn’t know until after the fact. I was so caught up in what I thought was important. I missed having a send the bride out que and I would have never known because she coordinated it in the drop of a dime. Her vibe is so laid-back and chill. She’s super communicative and has all her details in order. There were so many personal touches like our last name in places such as the photo frame and inside the honeymoon suite done up and beautiful clothes pins and burlap sign. Beyond the ease of scheduling and planning with Diane, holly moly, can we talk about the beauty of the venue. The white barn with ferns hanging between each beam. Muah, that is chef’s kiss. The doors leading to the isle and whiskey barrels for how you see fit. There were highland cows grazing in the field behind the altar, which were groomed the day prior so they were fluffy and their hair blew in the wind. There were several perfect locations for photos, including waterfall, old cabin, dirt road between the barns and the Mountain View’s of the property. We were graced with the presence of little Fred, a baby Highland cow who did so amazing. We had a lot of younger children on our guest list and little Fred was just chilling. Diane did such an amazing job, especially for the children that may not have been well attended around Fred. She handled it like a champ and that’s above and beyond in itself. I could go on and on. Honestly the more I see wedding pictures from this venue and all the different things they’ve done and added, I want to get married again. In this exact location! It was definitely the country wedding we dreamed of”

“I cannot speak highly enough of Big R Orchards, Scott and Eric. The venue itself is gorgeous with so many little details that add to the beauty. In addition, there are several photo opportunities around the property. I do want to put a special emphasis on the amazing level of communication that everyone involved had with me leading up to and on the big day. They were perfect, thorough, and clear in their communication. The quality of their work and value was exceptional - the venue is spacious, well worth the money, and provided a beautiful base for us to add our personal touch to. They ensured everything was set up to my liking and checked on me numerous times throughout the day, even driving us around the property for many different photo areas. This venue was everything we could have wanted and so much more!”

“Elkin Creek Vineyard was a the best choice for our wedding venue. From the moment we first inquired, Jennifer was prompt in her communication with us and working with our very quick timeline and budget! The vineyard itself is absolutely beautiful, with a charming, rustic atmosphere that made for the perfect backdrop to our ceremony and reception. My husband and I fell in love the moment we saw it together and knew this was the place we wanted to say I do. The staff was attentive and professional throughout the event, ensuring everything ran smoothly so we could fully enjoy ourselves. The food and wine served were also exceptional, the brick oven pizza is the way to go. We are so grateful to Elkin Creek Vineyard for helping make our wedding day truly unforgettable. My brother got married there and I fell in love with the venue and it was the only place I imagined getting married to the love of my life.”

“Overlook Barn is such a stunning wedding venue — we immediately knew it was the one without ever visiting any others! The owners and staff were so kind and helpful from the very beginning. They were always there to answer all of my questions, shared a preferred vendor list (which was incredibly helpful), and guided us through every detail. Katie and David, the owners, went above and beyond — even writing us personal cards that they left in the bridal suite and polishing rooms, which was such a thoughtful touch! Not only does Overlook Barn have the most breathtaking views, but it also offers 3 venues in 1. We had our ceremony in Mary’s Meadow, our cocktail hour in the Cliffside Barn (which may have one of the best views you’ll ever see), and our reception in the main Overlook Barn. Each transition was seamless, thanks to the amazing staff and our coordinator. We truly couldn’t have chosen a better venue. Our guests were in awe of the beauty and charm of Overlook Barn, and we’re still getting compliments! Thank you, Overlook Barn, for helping make our perfect day come to life — there’s truly no better place to get married!”

“We worked with Nine Tenths Coffee for our wedding bar and couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. From our first conversation, they were responsive and flexible about what we wanted, making the planning process smooth and stress-free. What really stood out was their willingness to customize everything for us, they even made homemade blueberry syrup, which is my favorite, and it became one of the biggest hits of the day. The quality of their coffee and drinks was fantastic, and our guests kept coming back for more. Nine Tenths Coffee understood what we needed and delivered without any hassle. We're so grateful for them and would absolutely recommend them to any couple looking for a bar service that actually listens and cares about making your day special.”

As a long time wedding and elopement photographer, I am passionate about my couples enjoying and being present on their wedding day. I take only a handful of wedding clients a year so that I stay fresh and excited. I usually shoot about 30% classic portraiture and 70% lifestyle/photo documentary. I like to tell the story through movement and candid photos, while also taking time to create striking and timeless portraits. I edit all my photos in black and white and color, with a film finish.
