Melissa and TJ exchanged vows early this month in front of thirty of their closest friends and loved ones. Their intimate wedding was held at the beautiful Deerhaven Gardens estate in Asheville, North Carolina.

Melissa first contacted me when was she was living in LA. The majority of her friends and family live on the east coast. She and TJ knew they wanted to celebrate their wedding day close to the people they love most.

The ceremony of Melissa and TJ’s wedding was originally planned to be held outside overlooking the infinity pool and the lovely mountain views. However, with spring weddings in the Blue Ridge Mountains, you never know what Mother Nature has in store. A rainstorm moved the ceremony to the ornate covered porch. It was the perfect second choice.

If you were a guest at this wedding you can attest that these two light up a room. They are extremely warm and inviting. Documenting this wedding was the ultimate honor to be around these two and all of their favorite people.
