A real North Carolina wedding dayβ¦
Getting ready in a cabin nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Exchanging your vows with your parents standing near by as the creek trickles next to you. Your dogs are running back and forth in their flower crowns. After cutting the cake with your family, you two head off alone for sunset along the parkway. Getting lost in bliss, each other, and the golden light for hours. Once the sun slips below the horizon you head back for dinner prepared by a private chef in your airbnb.
Your whole story, intentionally documented.
This day was experienced wholeheartedly by Anna and Tim.
