Alyssa & Christian’s day was the epitome of the “best of both worlds” when it comes to weddings. The two most important things to them were: 1) Being surrounded by their closest loved ones on their wedding day, and 2) Having intentional private time together in the Blue Ridge Mountains for their first look & vows. And while these 2 things may seem extremely contradicting, it’s actually quite possible to create a day that perfectly balances your favorite aspects of elopements and traditional weddings – and that’s where I came in! I’m Erin, an Asheville-based elopement photographer, and I specialize in micro-weddings so that couples don’t have to sacrifice including their closest loved ones while also maintaining the scenery and intentionality of an elopement. Alyssa & Christian’s story is one that I hear often, and nothing makes me happier than helping couples create days like theirs.

We planned their day in 2 parts – a morning in the mountains for their first look, private vows, and a short hike for epic views, followed by their small ceremony & reception at the Providence Cotton Mill later that evening. The Providence Cotton Mill is not only stunningly beautiful, but they also offer small wedding packages that make it easy for couples like them to have a simple wedding with a small guest list.
