Maggie Valley Wedding | Asheville Wedding Photographer | Michael + Erica

When Michael and Erica talked about their wedding day, they dreamed big. They wanted a destination wedding that made the most of their love for the fall leaves. They wanted an estate-style reception hall that showcased the beauty of Asheville's surrounding scenery. At the end of the day, though, the thing they wanted most could happen anywhere - they wanted to be married after two long years of being engaged!

Thankfully every item was checked off their list, and after a long but much-needed wait, the day of their marriage finally came. Erica was calm as always, chatting casually with her best girls as she got ready for the day. When it came time for their meaningful Catholic mass to celebrate their nuptials, both she and Michael were more than ready. She was walking down the aisle to the man of her dreams, her best friend, and the one she will spend the rest of her life with.

One of my favorite things about their day (that I still can't get over!) is that Erica's bouquet was made of WOOD. Yep - you read that correctly! This handmade beauty was rich with the marsala and white wedding colors and looked absolutely stunning against her Watters wedding gown. Their day was perfectly fall-themed from beginning to end and when it finally came to the last dance and sparkler exit, both of them knew they had chosen the perfect place - and the perfect person...
