Waterfall Elopement | Missy & Ryan

Missy and Ryan’s Asheville waterfall elopement was absolutely stunning. They tied the knot at Looking Glass Falls in Western North Carolina. Missy said, “I have always wanted to get married in front of a waterfall since seeing the waterfall at Maymont in Richmond, VA when I was a child. We wanted to get married outdoors since we both love spending so much time outdoors.” It was really fun to go down to the falls after the ceremony and get in the water! I was thrilled when they said they were interested in giving it a go. Those were some of my favorite images from the day. You can easily see how in love they are so to document that palpable love is why I chose to do this as my profession.

Missy’s beautiful gold dress was so much fun! She got it from one our favorite shops – BHLDN. BHLDN has those boho inspired dresses, while keeping their silhouettes classic and timeless. To say this was a showstopper of a dress would be an understatement. Her Flourish Flower Farm bouquet matched the gorgeous ceremony location and greenery that surrounded us. We loved that Missy and Ryan did a cheers in front of the waterfall too! These two were such a fun couple!

We were lucky on their wedding day because the Looking Glass was not very busy. Missy said, “The Asheville area offers tons of beautiful back drops including waterfalls and mountains. Asheville is also a perfect middle ground between my family in Pittsburgh and his family in Jacksonville.”
