Eugene Svirhun

Candler, NC
  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,500

I started photography in 2017 and after being a part of many weddings, engagements, and family sessions, I still love what I do and I am deeply dedicated to serving my clients. I consider myself a storyteller and love capturing the little details, the half-smiles, and the simple motions. For me, it is about seeing the real, the lovely, and the messy moments, the everyday magic that tells the stories of our lives. Each wedding and session has its own unique story to tell and I challenge myself to capture those stories through my camera as best as I can and would be honored to capture yours too!

Eugene Svirhun was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding photography. From our very first interaction, he was incredibly responsive, on time, and hands-on in helping us plan out the timeline and shots we wanted to capture. On the day of the wedding, his calming presence and positive attitude helped keep us happy and relaxed. The final photos were amazing and truly captured the joy and love of our special day. We are so grateful to Eugene Svirhun for his excellent work and highly recommend them to any couple looking for wedding photographer.

Nathan Rivers Chesky Photography & Film

  • Videographer

  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Candler, NC

Hi! My name is Nathan Rivers Chesky and I am a wedding storyteller. For over a decade I have captured weddings as a photographer, director, and cinematic videographer. I have traveled the world as a photographer and film maker documenting the genuine beauty of this world in portraits, moments, and real interactions. My team and I have found our place telling the unique story of every couple through photography and video with our specific balance of direction and creating the space for real moments for you to be who you are.

Awarded Best of Zola
By the luck of the draw, Nathan was available for our very quickly planned wedding--we snagged the last date he had in June 2024. I was ecstatic because I had always admired his work. My now husband and I had a blast working with him, we never thought taking photos/videos would be one of the highlights of our big day but it really was. The whole family loved working with Nathan, too. He was laid back but nothing short of a true professional--he was somehow everywhere, capturing everything yet never in the way. He went with the flow with funny family eccentricities that popped up and made everyone feel comfortable. Our photos and video got back to us in shockingly record time and we can't choose favorites because we love them all. Multiple people we've shared photos have said, "that looks straight out of Vogue or a magazine." If you're lucky enough to have the opportunity to work with Nathan in any capacity, whether it be a wedding or other shoot, do not pass this amazing artist up.

I’m an Asheville-based photographer and lover of the great outdoors, home cooked meals, hot summer days, and going on adventures. I’m weird (aren’t we all?), but I’m unapologetically myself, and I am obsessed with my job and this life I am so blessed to live. I've worked with some awesome couples, and maybe you're the next!

Awarded Best of Zola
Nick is a gem!! We are so thankful that he photographed our wedding. My partner and I had a lot of requests, and Nick accommodated them all while never making us feel difficult. He listened carefully to what was important to us - for my husband it was not stopping the party to take pictures and for me it was LOTS of candids of our loved ones. Somehow Nick made it happen!! We got gorgeous photos of the two of us just being ourselves with each other and amazing dance floor shots of our guests having the best time! With no posing!! The colors in the photos are fantastic -- even though Nick does AMAZING work outdoors he makes indoor photography feel just as special. Nick made a special effort to take a lot of photos of my grandparents and our parents specifically which we will treasure in years to come. Our friends said that the photos "look like how the day felt" which felt so right. We were amazed by how many micro moments between guests Nick captured!! Reliving the day via the photos is now my favorite past time. To top it all off, Nick was incredibly kind and calm throughout the day. Everyone in our families raved about how nice our photographer was. He worked with our coordinator for our timeline to run on schedule without ever making us feel rushed. We got to be fully present all day long. It was the exact energy you want by your side throughout your wedding. If we could change one thing it would have been having Nick for more time!!

She went out of her way to make sure we discussed our vision for the genres and to incorporate different music from different backgrounds. We could not have asked for a better DJ.

A Bride’s DJ - North Carolina 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,495
  • Serves Candler, NC

Diana and Robby, Owners of A Bride’s DJ, feel especially qualified because they both like to celebrate more than the average human. Robby is willing to wear a costume for any reason. Having a themed event? He has dressed up & made announcements like a pirate. Arrr! We have a small team of DJs who have each performed at 100 to 1500 weddings. Our DJs extensive experience & training ensures a smooth planning experience for clients, excelling in communication, are ego-free (so you get what YOU want), detail-oriented, and most importantly…they actually mix the music.

DJ Tony and A Bride’s DJ was beyond what we could ever ask for our wedding day. From the very beginning, both Diana and DJ Tony were attentive, understanding, and incredibly responsive to our music preferences and vision for the reception. (Btw, they are so kind and thoughtful which really made a difference throughout our whole wedding planning and wedding day.) We cared a lot about music and we had particular preferences even though we didn’t have any specific songs in mind. We told DJ Tony what music style we generally liked and the age range of our guests. His mixing skills and how he transitions between songs is just incredible. From day 1, we trusted his skills and was comfortable telling him about our vision. We can tell DJ Tony loves music. If we told him we wanted a LOTR themed wedding I know he’d pull off the best party. His curated playlist, talented mixing skills and DJing created an unforgettable party atmosphere that our guests raved about - they said it was even more fun than any club or party they'd been to! The energy and music were truly top-tier, making our wedding the best celebration beyond what we’d imagine. We are so grateful to DJ Tony, Diana, and A Bride's DJ for helping make our whole wedding experience truly incredible.

Homewood 

4.7

Asheville, NC
  • Venue
  • Up to 200 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor

Homewood, a special event venue in Asheville, NC, is an ideal destination for rehearsal dinners, weddings, receptions, and gatherings. Homewood is a beautifully restored 1920s stone manor located in Asheville's post-Victorian historic district of Montford. The elegant castle was originally built as a private home. The elegance of the 1920s luminesces from original wrought iron chandeliers and alabaster sconces, casting graceful lighting from the 20-foot ceilings of the Great Room to the original hardwood floors, cherry walls, and grand Appalachian stone fireplaces. Conveniently located within a mile of downtown Asheville, Homewood offers 200 free, designated parking spaces, and is located in a neighborhood setting. The Great Room seats 110 people for dinner, or up to 150 with cocktail seating, with space for dance floor and DJ or band. Homewood is fully handicap-accessible. The beautiful and lush surrounding grounds provide additional outdoor space, including our garden ceremony site.

Homewood did an INCREDIBLE job of delivering our dream wedding, at the beginning of this April. Our top criteria when looking for our venue, and how they worked out, were the following: 1) low-ish budget- we wanted a venue that didn't have a lot of requirements in terms of vendors. We didn't want to pay extra for chairs, tables, all the fine print- and Homewood does a great job with this. Almost everything for the venue itself, from setup to tear down, was included in the price. Homewood has three required vendors- a caterer, coordinator/planner, and bar service. These are three components of a wedding that arguably you cannot go without so we were fine that these were required! And for the services we got the prices were absolutely reasonable. From there, there is so much flexibility on what you can do. We wanted a great photographer so spent a little more on that, but didn't care so much about the cake so went with a Publix bakery cake which our coordinators still made beautiful. There is no judgement and whatever your choices are, Homewood's planners, Carolina Love Events, will do an INCREDIBLE job of making your dream wedding come to life. I cannot put into words how amazing they are! 2) mountain views and scenery- you can see just from pictures that Homewood checks that box :) our previews and final shots we've gotten back so far are incredible. We are dedicating an entire wall of our house just to wedding photos! 3) LGBTQ friendly- we are a wlw couple and wanted a place that was accepting. Homewood was proud to welcome us and we did not feel one ounce of judgement, just pure acceptance and love! We truly had the best wedding and I still pinch myself that it really happened. Homewood will always have a special place in our hearts!

  • Photographer

  • Serves Candler, NC

I've been an artist for as long as I can remember. My mom gave me an old film camera sometime around 5th grade thinking offhand that I might be interested in yet another art form and boy was she ever right. From then on, I've always had a camera in my hand, documenting anything and everything. Photography has been not only my chosen form of expression for over half my lifetime, but my way of learning about the world, of getting to know people, and even of getting to know myself.

Awarded Best of Zola
Adrian is amazing! I cannot recommend her enough, especially if you're a couple that is awkward in front of a camera! We hired her for our wedding in Asheville, and she came to us in Raleigh for our engagement session. She made us feel really comfortable and didn't try to make us do any "unnatural" poses; over the engagement session, she found what worked for us, and brought out more of that! She was also very patient with our dog who did not want to cooperate at all, and still managed to get some great action shots of him! The day of our wedding, it poured! She was such a trooper about quickly moving outside when the sun poked out, and back in when the skies opened up. And when everyone hit the dance floor, she got the best personality pics of our loved ones. She was so patient with us, and everything we needed as two individuals who originally did not feel comfortable in front of the camera!

My husband and I were so impressed with JCM Photography from the moment we first reached out.

They asked for our input and helped come up with ideas that we would love. On the day of our wedding, they were friendly and made us feel comfortable, even guiding us through poses with a gentle, humorous, patient demeanor. It was like hanging out with friends. The final photos were absolutely beautiful - they truly captured the joy and intimacy of our special day. We couldn't be happier with the value and quality of JCM Photography's work, and would highly recommend them to any couple planning their wedding.

As soon as he pulled up to our venue he saw some flowers which were off to the side and knew immediately he would bring us over to the field where the flowers were. None of our guests even saw the field of flowers, he just has an eye for this stuff and knows how to control a camera phenomenally! We loved working with him!

Prior to the wedding Jessica made sure every detail was covered and a timeline was created for a seamless day. Day of Jessica arrived on time and was ready to shoot! She was flexible, staying an extra hour to capture more of our cocktail hour and braved the cold as we had requested going to Dry Falls waterfall after the ceremony to get some shots. Our two large dogs were a part of the ceremony and Jessica was wonderful working with them prior and during the ceremony to get special shots with them!

Weaverville, NC
  • Venue
  • Up to 450 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $5,000

The Fields, on 21 rolling acres, awaits you at the end of Reems Creek Valley. With breathtaking views of the Blueridge Mountains. We are minutes from, the Blue Ridge Parkway, and downtown Asheville, NC.​ The Barn is a 3,200 square foot converted stable, a unique rustic barn with the elegance of 21 chandeliers, 2000 square foot Patio draped with Tuscan lights. The Barn is the perfect setting for a relaxing and comfortable celebration, whether it’s a rustic elegant wedding for 50 or 500 guest. The Lodge is a 5,000 square foot Conference Center. The Great room has 20 foot vaulted ceilings. The Boardroom will seat 14 people at a conference table. There are 2 additional dressing rooms upstairs. The largest of the dressing rooms is known as the Brides Room, providing a relaxing and calming feel, with large vaulted ceilings, and views of the mountains.

The Fields of Blackberry Cove was such a beautiful venue and very affordable compared to other wedding venues, especially when considering the location. You are surrounded by mountains and have multiple locations on site where you could hold the ceremony (multiple oak trees and arches you can use free of charge). This venue is great for those looking to hold the ceremony and reception in the same place. We got married outside and then held dinner, provided by the venue with additional fees, and the after party in the barn. The dinner provided by the venue was delicious and made the whole process a lot less stressful because they took care of everything. We were able to serve alcohol and beer/wine/Truly that we purchased ourselves, and Doug provided ice, cups, and a bartender that we paid 60 dollars an hour. With about 100 guests, the barn made for a perfect dance floor. I didn't hire a wedding planner, so I planned the wedding by myself. Doug, the venue owner, was easy to work with and very experienced in planning weddings. He never really clarifies specific things the venue does or does not provide, so be sure to ask! He was funny and an enjoyable presence, but he got a little sassy on the wedding day when I couldn't decide if I should move the ceremony into the barn due to inclement weather. Regardless though, it worked out and everything went to plan! 100% recommend to anyone who doesn't want to spend 15000 on a wedding.

Jeremy is everything you want in a wedding photographer and more. He is highly skilled and truly a delight to work with! From our very first conversation, it was obvious he enjoys capturing weddings and working with couples, which reassured me that our treasured moments would be in very capable hands! Jeremy’s lighthearted, happy demeanor put us at ease and made it enjoyable and easy to work with him. During our engagement session (which I highly recommend!) he gave us great direction and helped us to feel relaxed and more ourselves even when we otherwise might have felt self-conscious. On our wedding day, Jeremy was an unassuming, reassuring presence—it felt like being with an old friend! The resulting images were better than we could have imagined. The photos are very high quality and true-to-life and looking at them now transports us back in time! We will always be so glad we chose Jeremy!

Andrea, founder of Rare Bird Collective, began her career as a creative project manager in advertising and spent over 12 years working for some of the best hospitality groups in the country. She helped open several James Beard-nominated restaurants and worked for Relais & Châteaux properties. She has worked in every capacity of events from intimate birthday celebrations to large high-profile weddings, VIP and backstage parties for internationally touring musicians to the Nobel Peace Prize Forum, and everything in between.

Working with Rare Bird Collective, and specifically Andrea, was a wonderful experience. Their communication style was great - they were very organized in keeping us on track throughout the planning process. The quality of their work and the value they provided was exceptional. They were incredibly organized, calming, and a true delight to work with. Despite another vendor being late, Andrea was able to keep everyone organized and everything running on time, all while keeping me, the bride, calm and delighted. I would love the opportunity to work with Andrea and Rare Bird Collective again.

Gâteaux Owner and Pastry Chef, Lindsay Cromartie, laughs when asked how many years she's been "doing this." Look at the circa 1986 picture to the left for her answer! Professionally, Lindsay has been "doing this" since 2005, when she realized, while still at UNC Chapel Hill, she wasn't cut out for a desk job. From Chapel Hill, to The Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, NY, where Lindsay prepared herself with a Baking and Pastry Degree. Fortunately, after a year in the "Big City," Lindsay and her family realized "there's no place like home" and returned to Hendersonville, where, after a brief hiatus, she has established Gâteaux.

Gateaux Cakes & Pastries was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding! From the moment we reached out, the owner Lindsay was quick to respond, incredibly helpful, and truly amazing. As a wizard of a baker, Lindsay crafted the most beautiful and delicious groom's cake, wedding cake, cookies, pies, tarts, and macarons for our special day. Everything was a huge hit with our guests - the quality and value of Gateaux's work was outstanding. Lindsay was also so thoughtful in her suggestions to ensure our desserts were exactly what we wanted. I will absolutely be a lifelong patron of this amazing small business. I highly recommend Gateaux Cakes & Pastries to any couple planning their wedding!

Our team provides eco-conscious floral services and candle decor for events. We recognize that not one single style of floral is beautiful to everyone, and we truly enjoy creating various styles, especially the one that fits the client! We buy local as much as possible and are always on the hunt for sustainably grown beauties. We chase the best of the season, often delighting in the underused and less-seen pod, fruiting branch, and oddity. During our region's non-growing season, we source from what is available to us from around the world, always keeping the mindset of the least ecological footprint option first.

As a photographer local to the Asheville area who's had the pleasure of capturing Shannon's work many times I can say without a doubt that she is the best florist in the area!! Shannon is amazing. Not only is she an incredibly talented florist and stylist, she's also a kind, caring, and wonderful person. She sources florals locally so she's the perfect fit for adventurous elopements and weddings out in the mountains, no need to worry about invasive species! Just stop looking and hire her!

Hi! We're Julie and Rad. We met in Vietnam in 2016, and have lived in eight countries together since then. During our time abroad we've had plenty of adventures, seen incredible wildlife, eaten a lot of wonderful food, and honed our photography skills. We also got married in 2020! Planning a wedding during a pandemic involved an unusual set of challenges. Although our guest count was a little smaller than we originally anticipated-- the day could not have been more perfect. This was made possible only because we hired and trusted the right people. We try to instill the same trust so you can enjoy your day!

Simply Amazing! We had our engagement shoot at the Biltmore estate and it was nothing short of magical. Julie was able to capture exactly what I wanted the pictures to look like. She is a joy to work with and helped us feel relaxed and at ease. I can’t stop looking at my pictures and everyone that lays eyes on them is OBSESSED! They take your pictures and capture who you are but also make it look like a beautiful piece of art. I simply cannot say enough good things!
