Blue Ridge Mountain Elopement Photographer | Niki and Jordan

I will never stop saying how much I love the intimacy of elopements. And how over the moon happy I am to have created Elope Outdoors of Asheville.  While there is something to be said for the lavish celebrations among large groups of family and friends…the ability to capture the small details and absolute range of emotion in a small group of soon-to-be husband and wife and best friends.  These are truly my most favorite of all special events to document, just because of the sheer joy in joining these two in marriage.

Precious Tears

Niki and Jordan chose to do a first look before hiking up to the Pinnacle.  Jordan was taken aback by Niki’s beauty and the expression on his face seeing her for the first time as his bride was priceless!  He loved admiring her bridal hiking boots as well!  She had presented him with a special set of cufflinks as a wedding gift.  As they made their way arm in arm up the peak, they were able to sneak in a kiss or two along the stone stair trail.  

The ceremony was led by our officiant, Nick. It took place on the overlook which we had all to ourselves, that day.  Niki and Jordan had prepared beautiful vows, and they brought a tear to everyone’s eye.  It was so sweet the way Niki reached over to dry Jordan’s cheek. I just love these two!  

An Intimate and Personal Day

Once they were officially husband and wife, they celebrated with some personalized macaroons which were so beautiful – and yummy!  And went so deliciously with the champagne!  

We got some epic shots of the couple, and of Niki by herself on the rocks with the grand Blue Ridge Mountain views behind her.  Craggy Pinnacle is one of my favorite locations in Asheville for elopements as it’s so picturesque any time of year!  The wind was so playful in blowing Niki’s veil; it really brought out the fun-loving spirit of this couple and the happiness of the occasion.

Niki and Jordan are such a sweet couple and the true love they have for each other really shined through during their ceremony and celebration.  I had such an absolute pleasure meeting them and being part of their wedding day!

As a Blue Ridge Mountain Elopement Photographer I get to witness such beautiful love, just like the love shared by these two!
