Brevard Elopement and Blue Ridge Mountain Sunset Session | Kimb + Roland
Brevard Elopement and Blue Ridge Mountain Sunset Session | May 1, 2021
Kimb was familiar with Brevard, North Carolina and she knew she wanted to have their intimate wedding in this beautiful area with close family. They traveled down from Louisville, KY to their Airbnb at Connestee Falls, a private development outside of town that has cabins and vacation rentals with access to a beautiful lake, trails, and waterfalls. I met the couple at their Airbnb where they were staying with their family.
It was a gorgeous, sunny spring day, which made the 50 minute drive down from Asheville stunning. I met Roland first as Kimb was upstairs getting things ready and I knew right away they were going to be a ton of fun to document. Everyone was friendly and relaxed and excited to head into the forest for the ceremony. After about 45 minutes at the cabin capturing some detail shots, getting ready images, and portraits, we drove about 5 minutes within the property of Connestee Falls to the ceremony location which was near a small waterfall and stream.
As avid beer lovers, they wanted to include it into the ceremony and celebration which was really fun. After the wedding, we had a BBQ lunch at the cabin before departing to the mountains for their sunset portrait session with just them.
The weather was perfect for a beautiful sunset and we all were so pumped to have an absolutely epic sunset to enjoy and take more photos of them in their wedding clothes. I can’t recommend getting up high in the mountains enough for sunset shots. It’s worth the gamble with weather at places like Black Balsam Knob and others.
