Asheville Backyard Wedding by Paola Nazati Photography

This backyard wedding is very special to me. The bride is one of my very first clients from back in 2010 when I officially launched my photography business in Asheville. We have both kept up with each other throughout the years and when she approached me about her small wedding taking place in her backyard I was all smiles. I am always so honored and grateful that clients enjoy my work and personality and choose me to be their photographer during important moments in their life.

The day had started out very rainy but as soon as it got close to their ceremony time the clouds began to part, the rain turned to a small drizzle and soon the sun started peaking through the trees. Here are some of my favorite images from the day.

Wedding at Bell's Cove by Paola Nazati Photography

A couple of weeks ago I posted Alyson and Jamie's Engagement session. Now I'm excited to share their beautiful wedding day that took place at Bell's Cove.The entire day was full of joy and excitement despite the intense heat wave that was going on. Alyson and Jamie's family and friends all pitched in such hard work to make this day perfect.  The wedding cake and goodies where baked by the bride and assembled and decorated by Amanda Berry (Friend of the bride). All of the decor was designed and assembled by the mother of the bride Jodee Mitchell. Her vision for the bouquets and boutonnières were done by the Floral Department at the Inn on Biltmore by the wonderful Jill Rutherford and Lindsay Kerhes.  The lovely surprise dove release at the end of the ceremony was done by Julia Gaunt of Asheville White Dove Release. It was such a loving group of people, I had so much fun!

Breigh's Bridal Session at Bell's Cove

Breigh's bridal session took place at Bell's Cove, a new event venue located in Barnardsville, NC.  She and Lloyd were married here a couple of months later. The 220 acre property sits nestled amongst rolling hills bordering Pisgah National Forest. Its landscape includes open fields, wooded paths, a cozy cabin and even a spring-fed pond with a dock.
