Swannanoa, NC
  • Videographer
  • Storytelling style
  • Starts at $4,500

Remember what it felt like being there. Memory is meaning. How you choose to preserve your memories now will affect how you remember them in the future. I specialize in making films you can feel - films your children will be able to feel. Remember the moment you knew you would fight for your relationship. It was love. It was raw. It was yours. Your wedding will likely be a production, a gathering of friends and family from all over, but at the heart of your wedding is a love story. It’s one of the greatest honors to be trusted to capture and create something meaningful - something yours.

You only have to view a few of their films to realize the difference hiring a filmaker versus a videographer makes. Yes, they can flawlessly record the ceremony, panning from different angles, but they really shine in curating a highlight film that captures the entire day. You only plan on doing this once. Capture the event in a way that will allow you to relive it every time you watch.

Nathan Rivers Chesky Photography & Film 

5.0

  • Videographer
  • Cinematic style
  • Starts at $3,800
  • Serves Swannanoa, 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!!

Nathan is, in a word, awesome! He is extremely talented and very professional. But he is also fun and flexible. Understands the couples of today and actually listens to what you have to say about what you envision for your video. He knows instinctually where there is a good shot and how to edit and produce beautiful videos of your special day. I always recommend him first when it comes to videography. His pricing is competitive and you truly get what you pay for!

A Bride’s DJ - North Carolina 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,495
  • Serves Swannanoa, 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.

I got married in August 2023, and I was hesitant to hire a DJ because my fiancé and I had such specific music requests. Basically, we knew the exact songs we wanted played at our wedding, but we really wanted someone to help mix the songs, help MC the night, and just generally keep the vibe going all night. And wow was A Bride’s DJ absolutely perfect! I first spoke to Diana, and she was incredibly helpful, responsive, and knowledgeable throughout the entire process. She made us feel so comfortable and easily answered all of our questions. And Robby was absolutely fantastic too! He never made us feel like our niche request was a bad idea. In fact, he made us feel like we were in perfectly capable hands, and he was right! Robby mixed our music perfectly and did such a wonderful job keeping the energy high during our whole wedding. He even came up to me at the end of the night and asked if there were any other songs I wanted played, which was such a thoughtful gesture and goes to show how great A Bride’s DJ is to work with. If you are looking for a top-notch DJ in the Asheville, NC area, I truly can’t recommend Diana, Robby, and A Bride’s DJ enough!

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!

They went above and beyond in capturing all of the wonderful moments of our special day. Our family and friends agree with our opinion that they were friendly, considerate and discreet. We were pleasantly surprised to receive a sneak peak of our wedding photos only one day after our wedding! We couldn't have chosen a better photographer to share our wedding day with, and we have nothing but fabulous things to say about Amy Weits Photography and Designs.

Wilder Weddings Collective is a dedicated team of elopement and wedding photographers passionate about capturing wild love and real emotion. Based in Western North Carolina, but willing to travel anywhere, we’re leading a revolution in wedding photography, bringing the focus back on couples, their commitment, and the whole experience of the day.

From start to finish we can not say enough about how great our experience working with Carolyn and Jake was (formerly CarolynMariePhotography). Getting married/eloping in a pandemic was inherently stressful and Carolyn was so much more than just a photographer for us, she truly guided us through every step of our planning process. When the universe still let our best laid plans (and back up plans) take a turn she was there to make sure we were still having the best day and rewrote my wedding day timeline for me about 3 times on the spot. The photos we received are STUNNING, but having them help us through our wedding day was honestly priceless - I can’t imagine getting married without them we honestly had so much fun. You’ll have the best time with them and still feel like you’re alone together at the same time when it matters. The organization and promptness is on point, the recommendations/referrals were amazingly helpful, the photos are absolutely beautiful and these are GOOD PEOPLE. You will not regret hiring them for your big day!!

Hey y'all, I'm so happy you are here! I'm Payton. I'm based in Asheville, NC but will travel to wherever your love takes you. When I'm not on a photoshoot I'm either traveling, hiking, or spending time with my family. I have been a photographer for 10 years and photographing weddings for 5. I have a BFA in Photography from RMCAD. I LOVE getting to know you and helping you plan out every minute detail of your wedding day. My passion is capturing the essence of my couple's love, every story is uniquely you!

Awarded Best of Zola
Payton was a hidden gem that I found through an intense Instagram/Facebook search for a wedding photographer. I was starting to get discouraged with the outrageous pricing of some of the big name photographers in the Birmingham, AL area and disappointed with the gallery examples of some of the cheaper options. When she messaged me back, her rates are so reasonable and affordable and her Instagram really shows how vibrant and dreamy her previous galleries have turned out. I felt like I could really trust her with capturing our special memories, I was right. Prior to the wedding, she sent out a questionnaire asking about our photography priorities and mindset. Also recently she started including an engagement session when you book her for a wedding package!! A steal! We couldn’t be happier with our photos and our experience with a Payton. She also is a traveling queen, so if you’re not in Birmingham, AL, don’t be discouraged!

  • Serves Swannanoa, 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
We would choose Adrian a million times! She flew out to Seattle (our current home) to take our engagement photos and she did an amazing job. She was adaptive to the many environments we took her to and she came up with great ideas quickly during the course of the day. She made us feel very comfortable so we could be ourselves in the photos. On our wedding day, she knew exactly where to do photos when it started to rain but maintained the intimacy of our first look. She was organized with our many family photos and kept us moving when we took photos with each of our tables (exaclty what we needed). She is very outgoing, friendly, and talented. She took the time to get to know us which made our photos more special in the end.

We also added the digital photobooth to our package, and have no regrets! The photobooth was a blast and it's been so fun for all of our guests to have the digital images. We love Remix and wish we could have them host parties with our friends every weekend ;)

She went above and beyond shooting our bride and groom portraits to follow! We had originally planned to take pictures the day following our wedding on the Blue Ridge Parkway, but when we arrived at our destination, it was 39 degrees and windy. After taking a few photos, Laren offered that we come back during a warmer time to take the pictures at no additional charge. The photos turned out BEAUTIFULLY!! There were so many good ones that we had a difficult time deciding which photos to print for our home. Laren has such a warm and encouraging personality that made my husband and me feel very comfortable from the get go. You will love your photos by her guaranteed!

Soon after Juan and Emily got married in 2018 Juan began his photography career as a light technician in LA. Juan studied journalism for his undergrad, and this is when he was gifted his first camera and his interest in photography was sparked. Emily's childhood dream was to be a photographer, and after working for years as an ICU nurse she is able to do just that alongside Juan. We are energized by the creativity that photography brings, and the light and joy we experience from meeting couples.

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot say enough good things about Juan Rodriguez Photography! Juan shot film photos alongside a digital photographer at our wedding. Juan's photos are absolutely beautiful - organic, artistic and distinct. They are some of my favorite photos from the day. The best thing about Juan though is his attitude. His positivity, calmness and proactiveness made a real difference without how I felt on my wedding day. Though our digital photographer had never met him before our wedding, she commented how much she enjoyed working with him. Many of our bridal party made similar comments. He was always looking for ways to help, whether holding bouquets or giving my veil movement outside the frame. Besides being a wonderful photographer, Juan is just the type of person you want with you on your wedding day. I can't recommend him enough.

I cannot even begin to describe how amazing it was to work with Jacqueline for our wedding this past weekend. She was extremely easy-going, communicative, professional, and always quick to respond for the entire year leading up to our wedding. So it came as no surprise that on our wedding day she absolutely crushed it. She captured our day so seamlessly. She was never in the way, never made us uncomfortable and just blended into the background in all the right ways. She made the wedding party and family photos process quick and painless which I know from experience can sometimes prove to be a disaster or just unorganized and chaotic at weddings. I was even MORE blown away when she delivered some photos the morning after our wedding after probably being up super late after getting home from our wedding. Talk about going above and beyond and exceeding expectations!!! I could not have asked for a better photographer to play such a huge part in our big day and I would recommend Jacqueline to ANYONE. Thank you so much Jacqueline!!!!! - Ben and Lindsay

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.

I fear we've started off on the wrong foot, I am not a florist. I am a floral preservationist. But wedding websites haven't caught up to the lovely thing an artist like me can do. I take your bouquet AFTER you spend the evening with it. I give your flowers a second life and you get to give it a forever home. I specialize in frame and resin home decor and would love to help you save a part of your special day.

My husband surprised me for our five year anniversary with a tray and coasters from Golden Preserved. I’m not sure how Tia was able to take my five year old bouquet and make such a beautiful keepsake, but i cherish it. I kept my bouquet for years with no intention of preserving it, but i am so glad my husband took it to Golden Preserved. Now i have a beautiful tray and coasters to enjoy every day. Thank you Tia and Golden Preserved!!

Let me count the ways that Laura is the best...and you would regret not having her capture your day. From the first moment you reach out to her she will take time to get to know you, your ideas you have for your day, go over options that may also fit your dreams that you may not have thought of, and give you the best quotes and jokes from start to finish. She makes you feel comfortable and at ease with the day and is always willing to go with the flow....and the weather in western NC is always all over the place so that's always a fantastic trait to have. Laura keeps up with her communication, gives amazing vendor recommendations if you're missing something, and can offer the best options for places to have your ceremony and additional pictures if you want a change of background scenery. Long story short, Laura is simply the best...movie quotes and all.

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!

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.

100% recommend. Lindsey was awesome to work with and my cake was just absolutely beautiful and tasted even better!

We booked the no rush weekend and used the venue for our rehearsal as well. Our dog stayed with us all weekend as well which made us feel right at home. All in all we couldn’t be happier and enjoyed every minute here.

Joyful & Genuine Wedding Photography, For Warm Souls & Big Hearts. Your story is vibrant and full of life, and your wedding photos should be too. You've arrived here with a purpose as deep as your love story. But more than that—once the dust settles and the fog lifts from your celebration—you want to be able to look at your photos for all the years to come and step right back into those moments. To experience the love, joy and jubilee all over again—with crystal clear ease.

Simon was the best decision we made in the wedding planning process. He was the ultimate hype man and deserves all the hype in return. While we originally went with him for his stellar work and the diversity of his portfolio, we quickly discovered that Simon is not only a photographer (whose photos are amazing, creative, candid, unique, emotional, empowering) but he is also a certified good vibe setter, mood lifter, stress zapper, and all around personified INSURANCE that you will have a good time on your wedding day. Simon is so chill and easy going while also being exceptionally on top of it and energetic at the same time.
