Mountain Destination Wedding - Basilica Ceremony - Homewood Reception - Asheville Photography

Kasia and Kevin had the most romantic winter wedding day in Asheville, North Carolina. Their ceremony was held in a gorgeous church in downtown Asheville, the Basilica St Lawrence. The reception was at Homewood, a castle-like venue that was a perfect location for this Game of Thrones loving couple. The couple got ready with their family at the Hilton, gathering at the Montford Rooftop Bar in the hotel for the couple’s first look on the patio. It was the sweetest first look as Emma, the couple’s daughter, joining her dad for mom’s big entrance. After some sweet family moments, they enjoyed the most delectable lunch before they headed to the church for the ceremony.

I love this couple and their family so much. I especially adore their sweet little girl, as you can probably tell from the photos. We had so much fun! The locations were swoon-worthy on their own, but the details, colors, and loving touches they added throughout were spectacular. Kasia’s blush pink gown and her bejeweled shoes, the fur-edged shawls for the girls, the kilts on the groom’s party, the flowers, the cake, the food…it was like the best scavenger hunt ever seeking to photograph it all!

Huge thanks to Nikki with Carolina Love Events and Homewood for coordinating the perfect evening to celebrate Kasia and Kevin! Nikki’s team also created the wonderful floral and created the event design. Black Eyed Susan Catering did a magnificent job creating a wonderful menu for the evening and fulfilled some very important special requests (pirogi anyone?). Just Simply Delicious created the perfect cake designed to look like a birch tree and it was truly delicious! Flawless did a fabulous job on the bridal hair and makeup making Kasia even more gorgeous than she already is.

The whole event was a photographer’s dream and I was so lucky to get to be there to capture it all. Wishing Kasia and Kevin many many more happy years!! I wish I could share all the photos and sweet, silly, loving stories behind the photos, but I have a feeling the ‘a photo is worth a million words’ applies ten-fold to wedding days that are as special as this one. Each person there (and those that joined remotely) were ecstatic that the big day was finally happening and that made it all that much more magical. It was an honor to be there to photograph their day. I hope you can feel the love!
