A friend's loss...

I'm very sorry to report that my fellow wedding vendors, recent clients, and dear friends Scott and Jessica suffered a big loss early yesterday morning... they own Classic Event Rental here in Asheville, the premiere company of its kind around here, and sadly, their warehouse burned down, destroying almost all of their inventory! As dire as their situation is, I was happy to see Jessica in surprisingly high spirits this morning. My thoughts and prayers are with them....
I went by there again this evening and the site of the recently-standing building is still smoldering.


...and remember the happy times, you guys! And again, don't hesitate to let us know if there's anything we can do for you!

Wedding Planner's Son's Gorgeous Florida Wedding!

A few weeks ago, I had the very distinct privilege of covering a very unique wedding. I was honored to be able to shoot the wedding of Scott and Jessica on Captiva Island in Florida at South Seas Plantation. Scott and Jessica own the Asheville-based company Classic Event Rental. I'm always honored to cover an event for a fellow wedding vendor, and if Classic Event Rental were not enough, Scott is the son of prominent local wedding planner, Gwenn Ford, owner of Wedding Inspirations. As you might imagine, the event was truly spectacular! And the couple? As happy as can be! It was such a fun time. The Flower Gallery even brought in the flowers from Asheville. The whole design was stunning!

After their beautiful and intimate ceremony in Florida, Scott and Jessica threw another great reception, this time here in Asheville. And again, as you can imagine, it was quite a party!
