Sally & Jimmy’s luxury elopement day will forever be one of my favorite elopements for the way that they so perfectly combined elegance with adventure.
Their day was luxurious, with carefully-curated details, an enchanting venue, lush floral arrangements, and a private chef for their candlelit dinner. It was also a day of adventure, with a drive along the Blue Ridge Parkway, hiking, and running barefoot through the grass.
The day began at Twin Willows Venue, where they got ready and met for their first look in the gardens. Then, we packed up the car and headed to the Blue Ridge Parkway, where we hiked, popped champagne, and took some time to enjoy the peacefulness of the mountains before their ceremony. We then returned to the venue for a small ceremony with their closest loved ones.
Sally & Jimmy exchanged vows in a quaint chapel, adorned with grand white doors, pews for 24 guests, and stained glass windows. Following their ceremony, we headed up to the Stable House for a specialty 5-course meal, expertly prepared on-site by a private chef. The tables were set with floral arrangements, flickering candles, and cards with each guest’s name. As their day came to a close, Sally & Jimmy enjoyed the sunset outside together, and then returned for first dances and a cake-cutting to end the night.
This venue is truly one-of-a-kind, offering an array of spaces including houses, the chapel, garden, and reception areas, all within walking distance, creating a seamless wedding day experience. Additionally, it simplifies the process of eloping with family, providing accommodations for you and your loved ones.

“My spouse and I can’t say enough about Erin, she was accommodating, professional and helped make our day be even more perfect! We are so glad we went with her. The photo’s turned out to be amazing and really captured the experience and look we were looking for. She helped scout locations, guide us, created the timeline, and helped us manage time to stay on plan. She was well organized and very insightful to how we could keep within our vision to maximize what we wanted out of our photos. We cannot recommend her enough. Truly, I could not envision anyone capturing our day any better. Thank you so much Erin, you were able to preserve images on our day that will bless our family walls, tables and mantles for years to come!” – Sally & Jimmy | April 2024
